2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

INTERNAL ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION. MECHANIC WILL NOT EVEN DO 90,000 TRANSMISSION SERVICE ON MY VEHICLE AND STATED THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN SEEN WITH 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSES BEING SERVICED IN THEIR SHOP AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A VEHICLE AT THIS AGE/MILEAGE.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON AND AFTER 2 SERVICE CALL THE DEALER DETERMINE THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW AIRBAG INSTALLED.

I HAVE HAD MANY ONGOING ISSUES SINCE CAR PURCHASE. ELECTRICAL , AIR CONDITIONING AND INJECTOR ISSUES. CAR DOES NOT SEEM SAFE. LIGHTS GO OUT EVERY FEW MONTHS WHILDE DRIVING WHEN IT IS DARK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. 1ST REPLACEMENT ON LIGHT WAS DONE WHILE UNDER WARRANT, HOWEVER, CHEVY DEALER FAILED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BURN OUT AND SIMPLY CHANGED LIGHT OUT. IT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS WITH US CHANGING LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS. CAR WOULD LOSE POWER AND JERK AS WELL AS HAD GEARS PROBLEMS WHILE TRAVELING ON A FWY WITH CARS GOING AN AVERAGE OG 60 MPH. CAR WOULD NOT AUTO SHIFT ABOVE 20-30 MPH. GAS SMELL UPON START OF VEHICLE AND THE LIST GOES ON. STUCK OPEN EVAP PURGE SOLENOID SETTING SES LIGHT CAC CASE 8-2106770252 DALILA LOPEZ--- SCANNED ECM FOUND CODE P0300 P0496.PERFORMED DIAGNOSIS. PERFORMED INJECTOR BALANCE TEST FOUND BANK 1 INJECTOR OUT OF SPECS.REPLACED 1 3 5 INJECTORS. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE INJECTOR ISSUES MAY HAVE CAUSED OTHER PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH CANNOT BE DENIED NOR CONFIRMED. AN OIL PAN GASKET HAS BEEN LEAKING AS WELL WHEN LESS THAN 90,000 MILES. SAFETY HAS BEEN AN ONGOING CONCERN. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED SINCE THE 1ST LIGHT WENT OUT IN 2014 TO BE RESOLVED AT GMS COST. IN ADDITION I AM ASKING THAT THE OIL PAN GASKET REPLACEMENT BE DONE AT GM COST . IN ADDITION, I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT OF MY DOWN PAYMENT OF $10,000 ON MY VEHICLE.

A 2012 TRAVERSE IN PRISTINE CONDITION THAT HAS UP TO DATE MAINTENANCE THROUGH THE DEALER WITH ONLY 41,000 MILES, NOW NEEDS REPLACEMENT OF STEERING RACK AND PINION AS WELL AS PRESSURE HOSE.

MY STEERING LOCKS UP GOING AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND TURNING. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE STEERING AS THE OTHER 2009-2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE STEERING . IT'S THE SAME PART, ISSUE AND VEHICLE AS THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO FIX THE STEERING UP TO 10 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES AND I AM BEING TOLD YOU HAVE NOT INCLUDED MY VIN # UNDER THIS WARENTY AND I NEED A VALID EXPLANATION WHY MY VIN ISN'T COVERED. IT'S THE SAME ISSUE, THE SAME PART AND THE CORRECT YEAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON A 50 MPH ROAD IN MY 2012 TRAVERSE THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED. THE MESSAGES "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED", "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" CAME ON. THE SUDDEN DECELERATION FOR APPARENTLY NO REASON WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS WELL. I STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT 10 MINUTES LATER, WITH THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING.

"TAKATA RECALL" WENT TO START MY CAR AND THE CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON. I TOOK MY CAR IN 3 TIMES AND FINALLY THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG. SINCE THERE HAS BEEN MANY RECALLS PERTAINING TO AIRBAGS I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE YEAR AND MAKE OF MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE COST FOR THE NEW AIR BAG WAS OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WAS GOING TO SPEND THAT KIND MONEY WHEN THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY RECALLS. I FEEL SINCE TAKATA WENT BANKRUPT I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THEY CONTRACTED TAKATA AN OUTSOURCE COMPANY.

WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE THE CAR SUDDENLY WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. IT COULDN'T MAINTAIN SPEED ABOVE 40-45 MPH. THIS OCCURRED ON A FREEWAY WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED SEVERAL ENGINE CODES (POO18 & POO19) AND RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AS THIS REPAIR WAS BEYOND THEIR CAPABILITIES. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE IS WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STRETCHED TIMING CHAINS, TIMING OFF BY 2 TEETH, SHOES & GUIDES WORN OUT, & 2 ACTUATORS WILL NOT PARK. INVOICE FOR REPAIRS WERE FOR $4461.57. THE VEHICLE IS 6 YEARS OLD AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 87K MILES WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. DUE TO CAR BEING PURCHASED USED, EXPIRED WARRANTY , MANUFACTURER REFUSED REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS DESPITE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ENGINE MODEL.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL DISENGAGED AND THE SAME TIME. IT ALSO REDUCED ENGINE POWER (IT ALSO SAID IT WAS ON THE DASH BOARD) HOWEVER WITH NO WARNING STARTED TO SLOW TOO QUICKLY WHILE I WAS DRIBING DOWN STREET WHICH SPEED LIMIT IS 50 MPH. AS I HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHO HAD TO SWITCH QUICKLY TO NEXT LANE. ONCE I MADE IT HOME I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND THEIR HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM... I NEVER SEEN SO MANY OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MANUFACTURER... I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND ARE MOSTLY WITH ME WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD. LUCKILY I LEFT THEM HOME THIS TIME. AND NO ONE GOT HURT. HOWEVER, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN...I STRONGLY BELIEVE IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPEN ON MY WAY TO WORK DURING RUSH HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. I WOULD HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT OUTCOME. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS A.S.A.P.
