2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 20 MPH. THE CONTACT CALLED TRAPP CHEVROLET (200 S HOLLYWOOD RD, HOUMA, LA 70360) AND GOLDEN MOTORS, L.L.C. (15101 LA-3235, CUT OFF, LA 70345) AND NOTIFIED THE DEALERS OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY BOTH DEALERS THAT A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WOULD BE ASSESSED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT DECLINED TO PAY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,729.

FOR THAT LAST 9 MONTHS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY. AT TIMES, IT FLASHES REALLY FAST BEFORE MY ENGINE STARTS MAKING A RUMBLING NOISE. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES WITH THEM DOING THE FOLLOWING: REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, FUEL INDUCTION SERVICE, NEW SENSOR BOX AND NEW WATER PUMP. THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. IT IS CURRENTLY AT ANOTHER CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT 15 MILES FROM ME. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND STILL NO WORD AS TO WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES IT'S WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND IT STAYS ALL WHILE BEEN DRIVEN. WHEN THE LIGHT FLASHES AND THE VEHICLE MAKES THE RUMBLING NOISE IT IS WHILE BEING DRIVEN AND STATIONARY. THE RUMBLING NOISE WILL STOP ONCE I PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. BUT THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON.

DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED; REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE STABILTRACK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH. THE VEHICLE ALMOST CAME TO A DEAD STOP WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME ALONG AND WITH OPPOSING TRAFFIC. I ENGAGED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER WITH MY HAZARDS ON. I TRIED TO REMAIN CALM WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR SINCE IT WAS ALMOST LIFE OR DEATH, I SEARCHED THE WEB FOR AN ANSWER AND I FOUND THAT IF I TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD GO AWAY, I DID THAT AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY FOR THE TIME BEING BUT IT HAS ALSO REOCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN.

WAS A RECALL ON SOME POWER STEERING PUMPS AND FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE. CAR MAKING LOUD NOISE WHEN TURN WHEEL. PROBLEM JUST DIAGNOSED BY MECHANIC. SEE MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS. FOUND BECAUSE TURNING THE WHEEL HAS BECOME DIFFICULT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE STRAINED. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR THREE CHILDREN TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. HER 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH AND SHE WAS FORCED TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD, NEARLY BEING REAR-ENDED AND SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AS WELL AS, THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT. JUST AS SHE MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. SHE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO START THE CAR, BUT HAD NO SUCCESS. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF BEING STRANDED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH MY THREE CHILDREN, SHE WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE TO THE NEAREST AREA TO SAFELY WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST FIVE MONTHS! WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS, INCLUDING THE CHEVROLET DEALER, AND SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO GET IT RESOLVED BUT HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS. WE WILL NO LONGER PUT OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHICH WAS THE REASON WE PURCHASED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE ISSUED A RECALL. MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS ALMOST KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFAULT IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE ON DASH. IN MOTION, CITY STREET, HIGHWAY DRIVING. STOPPED, RESTARTED MESSAGE CAME ON.

AS I'M DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE COMES ON, THEN THE TRUCK STARTS TO LOSE ACCELERATION, THEN IT STARTS FLASHING STABILTRAK OFF, TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF! THIS IS THE 10TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHIN A YEAR!! HAVE TRIED MANY SMALL FIXES AND NOTHING WORKS. *TR

MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL COMES ON AND OFF ITS LOOSE. I PUSH IT BACK IN POPS OUT. THE TCM FEMALE CONNECTOR/ADAPTOR IS FAULTY AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A COMPLETELY NEW HARNESS WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THE LOCKING MECHANISM DOESN'T HOLD IN PLACE SO IT LOSES CONNECTION TO THE TCM TRANS MODULE. AND WHEN I CONTACT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER THEY WANT ME TO BUT A NEW HARNESS WHICH I $600+++ AND THE CLIP/ADAPTER/CONNECTOR IS $22-$29. IF IM ON THE FREEWAY MY SPEED CAN DROP TO 20MPH. ON THE 215 FREEWAY. *TR

WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFT FROM 1ST -2ND IT WILL DRAG AND POP AND VIBRATE ALSO WHEN DECELERATION HAS OCCURRED THE TRANSMISSION WILL POP AND JERK WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 20 MPH AND UP TO 35 MPH.

MY TRANSMISSION SLEEPS A LOT. WHAT THESE MAIN PROBLEM IS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE STABILITRAK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR I LOSE SPEED I COULD BE ON THE FREEWAY AND MY SPEED DROPS TO ALMOST A STOP. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT INTO THE SERVICE SHOP IT SHOW THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I'M YEARS OLD AND I NEED CAR THAT'S RELIABLE I'M SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THR [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *PM
