2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING THE THE VEHICLE ITS NOT CHANGING GEARS AT TIMES AND IT SLIPS. AT TIMES WHEN IT DOES NOT SLIPS, IT STARTS TO MAKE A LOUD MUFFLER SOUND WHILE DRIVING AND MY FOOT IS ON THE GAS AND ITS LIKE FORCING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. IN ORDER TO STOP THE SOUND AND SLIP, I SOMETIME HAVE TO PLACE CAR ON PARK AND THEN PUT ON DRIVE TO RE ADJUST. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIME IT DOES NOT. TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND STATE THAT THERE WERE ALOT OF CODES FOR THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR A TRANSMISSION THAT NEW(FOR A 2010). I THEN CONTACTED A CHEVY DEALER WHO STATE THAT THERE IS NO COMPLAINT REGARDING TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP AS I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN THAT IS ON THE VEHICLE WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS ISSUE SOMETIMES HAPPEN AND SOME TIME IT DOES NOT. THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE VEHICLE ALSO MAKES A SOUND WHEN TURNING. THE AC BLOWS, BUT THE FROM VENT ONLY BLOW AIR FROM THE BOTTOM AND NOT THROUGH THE VENTS. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS PART OF THE ISSUE OR A DIFFERENT ISSUE.

THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY 2010 TRAVERSE IS 74K... DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRACTION STABILIZER CONTROL/ABS LIGHTS COME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING, DOWN TO 45 MPH AND MORE. WHILE THE GAS PETAL WAS BEING PRESSED NO ACCELERATION WOULD HAPPEN. WENT TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ACCELERATION CAME BACK. THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE THE TRACTION STABLIZER CONTROL/ABS STAYED ON WITH NO OTHER ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, UNTIL I ARRIVED TO WORK. WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, WHILE GIVING IT GAS IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD. PUT IN PARK, WAITING, THEN TRIED IT AGAIN. THE TRACTION STABILIZER CONTROL/ABS LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE JUST FINE. OVER THE PAS FEW MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED ONLY WITH THE TRACTION STABILIZER/ABS LIGHT INDICATORS NO OTHER PROBLEMS. WE HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIND NO CODES. COULD IT BE THE SENSOR OR NOW COULD IT BE THE THROTTLE BODY??

WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND YOU PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING AND NO KEY IS IN THE IGNITION! ALSO, WHEN RUNNING AND THE CAR IS PUT INTO GEAR IT CUTS OFF AND DIES...POSSIBLE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR? CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENS. EITHER IN A DRIVEWAY OR PARKING SPOT. CAR HAD TO BE JUMPED SEVERAL TIMES, ONCE RUNNING PUT IT INTO GEAR AND IT CUTS OFF OR YOU PUT IT IN PARK TO TURN IT OFF AND IT LETS THE KEY BE TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION BUT THE ENGINE KEEPS RUNNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE IDLING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

WHILE DRIVING OUR VEHICLE SOME SENSORS STARTING TO GO OFF AND WE STARTED LOSING POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHICH IN TURN CAUSED A HUGE AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE TRAVERSE WE WERE DRIVING SHOWED A TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK SIGNAL. IT BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND SLOW DOWN. IF WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WE WOULD HAVE WRECKED, LUCKILY WE WERE NOT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON MANY OTHER TRAVERSE'S AS WELL AS MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITHIN THE CHEVROLET LINEUP, YET THERE IS STILL NO RECALL. I AM NOT SURE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE OR IF SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO HURT BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE, BUT SOMEONE NEED TO MAKE THE RIGHT CALL BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID IT IS A KNOW ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE THIS RECALL HAPPEN, DOES SOMEONE NEED TO SERIOUSLY GET HURT? IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THERE ARE NO FIXES FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT IS JUST COSTING OWNERS, MORE AND MORE MONEY TO GET REPAIRS THEY DON'T REALLY NEED. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?

I PURCHASED A 2010 TRAVERSE FROM MOLLE CHEVY IN BLUE SPRINGS 3 YEARS AGO. WE HAVE 61,000 MILES AND WERE SENT LETTERS TO GO HAVE MORE RECALLS AND "SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS" DONE. (CHEVY'S WAY OF MORE RECALLS WITHOUT CALLING THEM THAT) BESIDES MANY OTHER CODES, THIS WEEKS P0008 CODE IS A KNOWN TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. SINCE WE TOOK IT IN AND IT WASN'T ONE OF THE SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS, THEY MADE US PAY FOR THE $90 DIAGNOSTIC, WOULDN'T GIVE ME THE CAR UNTIL I PAID. OFFERED FOR "US" TO PAY AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD SPLIT THE COST WITH US, WENT FROM $2,700 TO $863, WHAT A DEAL! IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT! WHY SHOULD WE PAY A $1, WE ALREADY PAID FOR THE VEHICLE??? AFTER HOLDING ARE CAR HOSTAGE FOR THE $90 AND OFFERING FOR US TO PAY FOR GM'S FIX, WE HAVE DECIDED TO CHECK ALL REACALL'S AND BUY USED WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT. I REALLY HOPE THE PEOPLE GET A DOSE OF WHAT THEY GIVE IN LIFE. THEY HAVE THESE PEOPLE TRAINED TO SELL A LINE OF CRAP ALL THE WAY FROM PURCHASE TO END OF LIFE ON THE VEHICLE. I KNOW THEY ARE A NECESSARY EVIL, BUT BUYERS BEWARE, CARS ARE THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY, STRESS, AND TIME. THEY DON'T PAY FOR ALL YOUR TIME FOR THE RECALLS,WHY? BUY A CHEAPER USED CAR AND CHECK THE RECALLS BEFORE YOU DO. DON'T BUY NEW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM YET. NO ONE LOOKS COOL IN AN COSTLY CAR WITH A TON OF ISSUES. LIFE'S TO SHORT. I WOULD SAY DON'T GO TO CHEVY BUT THEY ARE ALL SIMILAR TO A POINT. GOOD LUCK, MY TRAVERSE IS BEING SOLD THIS WEEK. SORRY TO WHOEVER BUYS IT FROM CARMAX. ALWAYS RESEARCH!!!!! ALWAYS BUY AT LEAST A YEAR OLD, GIVES TIME TO FIND ISSUES, 2 IS BETTER.
