2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED 6 TIMES NOW IN A TOTAL 6 MONTHS, I HAVE A NEW ON E PUT IN IT AND IT GOES OUT IN A FEW DAYS. THE RACK N PINION HAS BEEN REPLACED AS WELL. I NEVER LOOSE ANY FLUID THE PUMP STARTS MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE AND THEN GOES OUT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THIS PUMP, THE DEALER NEEDS TO LOOK TO THIS. THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS AT ALL, EVEN I HAVE THE BURDEN OF PROOF THAT IS NOT MY FAULT AND IT KEEPS GOING OUT.

POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKED AT CONNECTIONS AT JUST A FEW YEARS OF AGE AND AT LOW MILES (40K). CHEVY PROCEEDS TO TELL ME IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND HOPE FOR ME THAT IT'LL BE A RECALL SO I CAN GET MY HUNDREDS BACK IN REPAIRS FOR A SMALL SIMPLE JOB, RIDICULOUS, SINCE IT LEAKED QUITE A BIT ON THE FLOORS, AND DOWN A HOT MOTOR, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY DISRUPT POWER STEERING AS WELL AS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. JUST LOVE THAT MY PREGNANT WIFE DRIVES THIS DEATH TRAP EVERYDAY. GM WONT HELP SINCE I AM A SECOND OWNER, AS THEY PRETTY MUCH TELL ME THEY TREAT CUSTOMERS WHO PURCHASE THEM NEW AND/OR CERTIFIED WITH BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE. IF THE DEALER TELLS ME IT'S SUCH A COMMON ISSUE THAT THESE POWER STEERING HOSES ARE BACKORDERED, THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE CONNECTIONS AND GM NEEDS TO STAND UP TO KEEPING THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE RATHER THAN WORRYING ABOUT THEIR POCKETS!

DRIVING MY 2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE ON THE HIGHWAY 65MPH STABILITY TRAC LIGHT COMES ON REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE SERVICE STABILITY TRAC MESSAGE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO 20MPH IN ABOUT 20 SECONDS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SEVER INJURY OR DEATH TO MYSELF AND YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH ON US-59 IN MY 2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE LTZ , THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, FOLLOWED BY A RAPID, UN-CONTROLLED DECELERATION, LOSS OF POWER, AND LOSS OF STEERING. THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, AND NO SURFACE IMPEDIMENTS SUCH AS RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, ECT.. THE ISSUE WAS "STABILITRAK! AS A 30 YEAR, CAREER LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WHO INVESTIGATED THOUSANDS OF ACCIDENTS, THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND MY FAMILY AND I ARE VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I ALSO FOUND THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF THIS GOING BACK TO AT LEAST 2010. THIS SAME VEHICLE HAS HAD THE REAR A/C FIXED 4 TIMES AND MYLINK SYSTEM FIXED 2X.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE FOR LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRACK. ADDITIONAL MESSAGE, ENGINE POWER REDUCED BUT WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE BUT AT A DECREASED SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO INCREASE SPEED BY USING RPM GAUGE AND SHIFTING TRANSMISSION BY PRESSING AND RELEASING ACCELARATOR TO SIMULATE MANUAL SHIFTING. I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER OFF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED. EVERYTHING APPEARED TO RETURN TO NORMAL UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY WHILE DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. GOT AN OBD SCAN AND CODES WERE P2122 AND P2138. ADVISED THIS WAS A RECALL IN THE 2010 MODEL- HOW IS IT STILL HAPPENING IN MODELS THREE YEARS LATER? DOESN'T APPEAR IT WAS SUCCESSFULLY RESOLVED AND NOT A COVERED REPAIR THAT IS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS EVENT AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH.
