2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR JARRED FORWARD , MADE A POPPING SOUND AND LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE SPEED DROPPED. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO. THE STABILITY TRAC CAME ON THE DASH AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE HOME. I LOOKED THIS UP ON YOUTUBE AND FOUND OUT THE CAR DOES NOT KEEP A MEMORY OF THE CODE THE CAR THROWS WHEN THIS HAPPEN. AFTER THE CAR SITS ALL NIGHT IT "RESETS" ITSELF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I WAS LUCKY IT DID NOT STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE . THIS IS A HUGE SAFE ISSUE I HAUL MY CHILD AND GRANDDAUGHTER IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT IT. GET IT FIXED, DO A RECALL. *TR

MY AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT CAME ON IN JULY OF 2019. I TOOK IT TO GOSH CHEVY AND IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT REOCCURRED IN APRIL OF 2020. I TOOK IT BACK TO GOSH CHEVY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $150 TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND WHAT EVER THE COSTS INVOLVED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WOULD BE ON ME. AS A SAFETY ITEM AS IMPORTANT AS AN AIRBAG I WOULD THINK CHECKING THEIR ORIGINAL REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED BY THEM.

PURCHASED VEHICLE ON FEBRUARY 1ST AND WITHIN WEEK OF OWNERSHIP, VEHICLE WAS MAKING SPARKING/CLICKING SOUND UNDER HOOD. GM DEALER FOUND "THE HORMONIC BALANCER CREATING STATIC ELECTRICITY AND ARCHING CAUSING SOUND." CLAIMS HE NEVER SEEN OR EXPERIENCE THIS IN 35 YEARS OF DOING SERVICE.

WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN IDLE OR PARK THE FAN MAKES A TICKING NOISE. I TURN AC OR HEAT UP OR DOWN AND THE NOISE CONTINUES AT TIMES THE NOISE IS LOUDER. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED AND THEY TOLD ME I THINK IT WAS THE EVAPORATOR WAS EMPTY SO THEY REFILLED IT AFTER I PAID MY DEDUCTIBLE FOR WARRANTY. ABOUT A YA LATER I HEARD IT AGAIN I WENT TO A FRIENDS SHOP THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING HE FILLED IT AND IT'S BEEN ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR AND IT'S MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN AND IT'S THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHILE DRIVING BUT YOU DO HEAR IT WHILE IT IS IN MOTION. I LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG ISSUE WITH THIS. MY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER VALID NOW AND I FEEL THIS ISSUE IS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. WHAT OTHER ISSUES IS THIS CAUSING TO MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT AT 5-10 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A BUILDING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO ENGAGED PROPERLY. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS CONTACTED AND TOOK VITALS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY NATIONWIDE TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE COSMETIC REPAIRS WERE BEING PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE WARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE BUILDING AND FRONT BUMPER. NO DEALER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,700.

CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, AND I ACCELERATED THE CAR UP AN ENTRANCE RAMP ON TO A 65 MPH HIGHWAY (INTERSTATE 40, DURHAM, NC) TO MERGE INTO MODERATE TRAFFIC HEADING WEST. THE CAR THEN BEGAN ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN DESPITE TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AND PROBABLY REACHED 70 MPH. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH SLOWED THE CAR IN A SHUDDERING MANNER, BUT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, WHICH CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, I BRAKED AGAIN, WITH A SIMILAR RESULT. TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL BY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, SO I BRAKED AGAIN AND HELD THEM HARD, WHICH SLOWED THE VEHICLE. ON THIS THIRD TRY, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED, AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT OFF. IT'S NOT BEEN USED SINCE, SO ITS STATUS IS UNKNOWN. NO ACCIDENT AROSE FROM THIS INCIDENT.

12/23/19 WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT BEGAN MAKING SLIGHT WHINE NOISES WHICH INCREASED DURING TURNING, TIRES SEEMED A BIT LOOSE WITH DRIVING, THEN WHEN PARKING IT WAS AS IF NO POWER STEERING AT ALL- CHECKED PS FLUID TINY BIT LOW, ADDED SMALL AMOUNT. 12/24/19 SAME PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING ONLY EXTREMELY MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN, 12/26/19 HAD CAR CHECKED BY MECHANIC OUR POWER STEERING PUMP HAS GONE OUT AT 81K MILES AND IN ALL PROBABILITY OUR RACK AND PINION, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR TRAVERSES, THERE HAS BEEN A SPECIAL SERVICE COVERAGE EXTENSION ( HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2014/SB-10056459-3388.PDF) THRU 100K MIKES FOR TRAVERSES 2009-2011, THOUGH WHEN I SPOKE TO REPRESENTATIVE SHE SAID 2007 - 2011 YEARS, AND THE PARTS THAT NEED REPLACING ARE THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBERS THRU 2015 TRAVERSES. THE 'REASON' I WAS GIVEN IS BECAUSE 'IT IS FOR VEHICLES PRODUCED IN 'SPECIFIC- UNDISCLOSABLE LOCATIONS' WHICH ARE IN 'SPECIFIC YEARS AND VIN NUMBERS' AND YET THE PART IS THE EXACT SAME PART THAT IS BEING UTILIZED IN THE ENTIRE SPAN OF AT LEAST THE YEARS '2009-2015'. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL SINCE IT CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH YOUR STEERING AS WELL AS TIRE FUNCTIONALITY. WHY ARE THE YEARS PAST 2011 BEING DISMISSED? I WAS INFORMED BY BOTH OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE ONLINE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR GM THAT OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT. HOW CAN THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE BE EXTENDED TO COVER ADDITIONAL YEARS SINCE ALL OF THE PARTS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED ARE EXACT ONES UTILIZED IN EACH YEAR? THANK YOU.
