2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

Vehicle when placed in reverse and then shift to Park states vehicle is NOT in Park when it actually is. I looked up this problem and there are numerous people reporting the same issue with 2018-2023 Chevy traverse.

Traverse Check Engine light came on and vehicle sounded louder than usual w/ additional rattle. Upon inspection passenger side bracket holding two exhaust pipes together was broken at the weld. Took to Superior Chevrolet (dealer) 4/5/24 who stated right side pipe and bracket were not covered under Special Coverage Adjustment Front Exhaust Pipe N212356540 and only left side is covered despite the bracket being attached to both pipes. Awaiting part to complete repair at dealership. Advised by dealership vehicle is okay to drive until parts arrive and repair can be completed. 4/14/24 driving on I40 heard large bang from underneath vehicle, looked in rearview mirror to see the remaining portion of the bracket fly out from under vehicle and almost hit the car's windshield behind me, they had to swerve in heavy traffic to avoid having it go through their windshield. Vehicle immediately sounds like a motorcycle with no baffles, loud in the cabin and smelling of exhaust. Once stopped, climbed under vehicle to see that the complete bracket was missing from both pipes and a gaping hole in the drivers side front exhaust pipe. Bracket could have killed someone or caused a major accident while airborne on the Highway and cabin smells of exhaust.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH and various other speeds, the vehicle jerked and shuddered. The contact stated that the failure occurred increasingly while driving and turning. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the transmission fluid was replaced by both herself and her husband; however, the failure persisted. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

After car is parked and turned off, a message comes on "shift to park" and I'm unable to get out and lock the car.

My car has 61,000 miles. I've been noticing that the rear suspension seems off. During a dealership oil change, they told me my rear adjustment links were loose. I took it to a Tuffy auto service place for a 2nd opinion (looking for cheaper cost) and they said it was actually my rear toe links. They said it was very surprising that they would be bad already. I agree. It's a 2019 and shouldn't be having these issues. I've noticed other Chevy's have been recalled for the same thing and I'm wondering if it's wider spread.

Shuttering 9 speed transmission at low speeds and stop and go traffic. Whining noise when accelerating

Dashboard alerts “Shift to Park” after the car is turned off. Car is in park. Contacted dealer and it $480.00 to repair and apparently not covered by the GM Bumper to Bumper extended warranty protection plan. A recall was issued for the same issue on the 2018 traverse but not issued for the 2019. This is ridiculous and GM needs to issue a recall for this issue for the 2019 model.

I keep getting a shift to park, even though I am in park.I’m not able to turn off my car. I have read this a big issue with 2019 Traverse, why is there no recall showing as it can mess up the transmission?

WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK I GET A BEEPING SOUND AND A MESSAGE THAT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK, WHICH I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES. THIS MORNING 21 MARCH 2024 MY VEHICLE KEPT GIVING ME THAT MESSAGE. IT WAS LIKE MY CAR WAS STILL ON. I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING MY CAR AND PUT IT IN PARK FOR IT TO STOP. i HAVE COMPLAINED ON HERE BEFORE. THERE ARE OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

The torque converter in the transmission has failed it has currently been sitting at the dealership for 3 months do to supply chain issues. The dealership has confirmed the problem along with my auto insurance company as well. Prior too there was smoke with a bad odor coming out of the vents in the vehicle that could have caused me and my kids health issues dealing with breathing had we continued to drive the vehicle. There was no lights to indicate what the issue was. Only the fumes. The fumes came out from what the dealership stated was because of the clutch burning in the torque converter. This is a major issue that could kill someone if they inhaled to much of the fumes.
