2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

STARTED WITH A WHINING NOISE AT LOW SPEED APPROX 3 YEARS AGO AND THEN SLOWLEY STARTED TIGHTENING AT LOW SPEED THEN ULTIMATLY GIVING OUT COMPLETELY. THE TIGHTENING WAS A FRIGHTENING THING AS YOU NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WAS GOING TO DO IT AND YOU HAD TO BE PREPARED FOR IT TO OTHER WISE YOU WOULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER CAR OR PERSON.

TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN IT WAS ON THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT. TRIED TO PASS A SLOW MOVING TRUCK. ENGINE RPMS WHEN UP BUT VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD MECHANIC CHECK CODE AND THE FOLLOWING CODES SHOW UP U0121, U0073 AND U0121 HE STATED A PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE #14515B HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. CONTACTED A CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE.

ME & MY FAMILY WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, DOING 65 MPH, & SUDDENLY THE CHIME IN MY VEHICLE GOES OFF, & IN THE DISPLAY WINDOW IT READS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK & PARK ASSIST OFF. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT & I BELIEVE THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COME ON. THEN THE VEHICLE JUST SLOWS DOWN & WHEN I TRY TO PUSH THE GAS TO GO, IT WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON & LUCKILY I WAS JUST A FEW MINUTES FROM HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO GREG MAY HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED IT, THEY PUT IT ON THAT MACHINE & THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THAT SAME DAY I TAKE IT & THEY TELL ME IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. SO I DRIVE MY VEHICLE HOME & TRY TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO MAKE THE REPAIR & I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO MY PERSONNEL MECHANIC ON FEB 27, 2015, THEY REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY FOR $521.79 (I DO HAVE RECEIPT). 3 MONTHS LATER ON MAY 23, 2015 THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN. 3 MONTHS AFTER THAT ON AUG 7, 2015 IT DID IT. AND AGAIN ON SEPT 1, 2015. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ON NOV 29, 2014, I ONLY HAD IT 3 MONTHS WHEN IT BEGAN TO MESS UP ON ME. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I AM EITHER ON A BUSY CITY STREET OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE 5 CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE & THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY.

WHEN MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL WILL STIFFEN MAKING COMPLETING TURNS VERY DIFFICULT. A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAD TO MAKE COMPLETE STOPS TO AVOID HITTING VEHICLES OR GOING INTO A DITCH. I ALSO NOTICED THE STEERING STIFFENING WHILE MAKING SLIGHT TURNS WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS SERIOUSLY PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT WITH 67000 MILES. LAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING MY ALL THE CONTROLS STARTED GOING CRAZY AND ERROR MESSAGE WAS SAYING "TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAC, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" SERVICE STABILITRAK / REDUCED ENGINE / TRACTION CONTROL OFF/ PARKING ASSIST OFF MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DIC AND THE CAR WENT INTO "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MODE AND WOULD ONLY BLEM TO HAVE BEEN FIXED. NOW TODAY I WAS DRIVING MY CAT TO THE VET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HERE WE GO AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM AS LAST MONTH. I WENT FROM 45 MPH DOWN TO DROPPING DOWN TO 15 MPH AT RANDOM IS NOT SAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING YOU CANT JUST OVER LANES IF YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC WHEN I TOPPED FOR GAS I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF AND WAIT THEN RESTART AS MANUAL SUGGESTS BUT IT DIDN'T HELP, THE MESSAGE REAPPEARED. ONCE THE CAR FINALLY STARTED I WENT STRAIGHT TO WALDORF CHEVY DEALER. I TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHAT CODES AND EVERYTHING POINTED TO NEEDING A COMPUTER BOARD WHICH ENDED UP COSTING $1009.00 CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAID "PROBABLY JUST FLUKE, HOPEFULLY WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN"! NOT A GOOD ANSWER FOR ME BECAUSE I DRIVE AROUND AND MY HUSBAND DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN I DON'T NEED ISSUES WITH MY ONLY CAR. THIS SHOULD BE A COVERED REPAIR. I CALLED BOTH CHEVY AND GM AND HAVE TO SAY I WAS HAPPY WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I RECEIVED. I WANT TO KNOW WHY GM KNOWS THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE IN THE TRAVERSE AND HAVE NOT NOTIFIED OWNERS AND SENT OUT A FACTORY RECALL. IF THE DEALER DARES COME BACK AND SAY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR NEEDS REPLACED AND REFUSES TO FIX IT AT NO COST AT LEASE I CALLED CORPORATE SO THEY WILL BE INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER THIS TIME!!!! :)
