2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

Bought car 3 days ago . Everything was fine. Parked in parking spot at grocery store today and dash said “shift to park” even though shifter was in park. Jiggled it, warning went out. Got to work an hour later and it happened 3-4 times. This is very concerning ! I have two small children and when this happens I cannot lock my car or leave it.

Everytime I set my car to park it says shift to park, also whe I pull it all the way to the letter L it’s really stiff it doesn’t set.

When I shift the vehicle from "gear" to "park" the electric system does not register that the car is in "park". I receive a message on the dash (Shift Vehicle to Park) when my vehicle is already in "park". If I try to get out of the car with the dash stating to (Shift Vehicle to Park) the horn starts to beep. I have to keep putting the car in and out of gear and eventually it will electronically realize the vehicle is in "park". Sometimes it takes one or two tries for it to turn off and I can exit my vehicle or it has taken me 10 minutes of continuing to put the car in and out of gear. This started a few weeks ago and has slowly gotten worse. My Traverse is currently at Chevrolet to get fixed and I was quoted $692 plus tax to repair the issue. I have googled this issue and found this same problem posted dating back to 2020 yet this still is not a recall 3 years later. When I called/ dropped off my Traverse at Chevrolet they knew exactly what was happening without me fully explaining. This is a known issue that they stated was a transmission emergency and I was offered a same day appointment vs. waiting for a normal appointment for two weeks.

3 major issues—1. The driver side seatbelt does not latch any more. This started happening 11/1/2022. 2. The "Shift to Park" message continues to appear while the car is in park. The vehicle at times will not shut off due to the message even thought it's actually in park. This has been happening for over a year without a fix and now we're over our 3 year warranty. 3. The car has 45 miles on it before it needed to refuel, however, it stalled and completed shut off in the middle of traffic causing a jam behind us! We had one of our toddlers in the car too which could have ended much worse. The car was towed to Chevy ($160 bill for us), and Chevy said it stalled and turned off because the fuel was empty even though it the dashboard said 45 miles on it.

When I put my 2019 Traverse in park, it gives a shift to park error message, even though it IS in park. I can't shut it off so I put the gear shift in drive and back to park a few times and the message would finally go away and let me shut it off. The problem is constant now. Very frustrating!! Now I'll have to take it to the dealer and hopefully they can fix it and without me having to take it in again to be fixed. And my warrant is expired now (42 months) so I'll have to pay for an expensive electrical fix. I've done some research and a lot of people are having this issue. Why hasn't there been a recall issued yet???

We bought the Chevy Traverse from Eagle Pass, Texas AutoWorld Dealership. We test drove the vehicle and made the car dealer aware that some of the seatbelts were not functioning and also that the breaks were making a screeching sound. The car dealer made notes and said he would have the seatbelts and brakes looked over at a later time. We. Still bought the vehicle and followed up with the dealership only to be told the car sales man no longer works there and that we would be charged a fee for having the seatbelts looked at totally disregarded the break issues. Now we have a newer vehicle but with faulty seatbelts and breaks.

2019 chevy traverse check engine light came on then went off for a couple of weeks. The engine light came back on and I took it in to dealership. They found code p0420 which is fail code catalytic converter. They call me to shop an showed me a leak on pipe near a weld which was cracked no sign of someone causing damage to it just a cracked weld. This pipe was directly under the passenger and driver which could have been causing the gasses to leak into the vehicle. This carbon monoxide could cause safety risks to passengers. I contacted General motors about this issue and they investigated it but said it was not covered so I paid out of my pocket for the repair which cost $1600 .

Vehicle was in driveway at slight incline. Vehicle was able to be shut off while in drive and rolled backwards. No warning to shift to park

When the car is in Park, it gives a shift to park error, even though it is in Park. It began about a week ago. I use to be able to wiggle the gear shift a bit and it would go away. Now the problem is constant. And you can’t just ignore it as it beeps and the lights stay on draining the battery.

My wife and I were t-boned in the front end of our 2019 Chevy Traverse. I am familiar with how airbags operate and the force necessary to activate the trigger switch. At the force we were hit, the airbags should have deployed. None of the airbags worked. The car that hit us was totaled. Their front end was completely demolished to the firewall and all airbags were deployed. Our car had $11,000 plus worth of front /side damage. Our bodies are recovering from injuries we should not have sustained if the airbags were functional. We will be contacting the dealer.
