2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, TRACTION LIGHT CAME OTHE STABILITY LIMESSAGE CAME ON AS WELL SAYING OFFN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BATTERY GAUGE WENT WAY DOWN, WATER GAUGE SHOWED NO WATER LEVEL, GAS GAUGE SHOWED NO GAS, I STOPPED TO GET GAS AND THEN CAR WOULD NOT START, KEPT TRYING TO START IT, FINALLY TURNED ON BUT ALL GAUGES WERE CRAZY. TOOK THE CAR RIGHT TO WALDORF CHEVROLET ON 2298 CRAIN HWY IN WALDORF, MD. THE DEALER COULDN'T EVEN GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THEY CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND CALLED ME AROUND 12:00 PM AND SAID YOU COMPUTER BOARD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS COMPLETELY SHOT. AFTER READING SEVERAL CHEVY TRAVERSES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TOO MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ITS AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE AT THAT . I TRULY BELIEVE THIS MODEL OF CAR IS A WASTE OF MONEY. I GUESS I SHOULD OF BOUGHT A TOYOTA 5 YEARS AGO...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ABS AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND POWERED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STABILITY TRACTION SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN MAKING A HIGH PITCHED SQUEAKING NOISE FOR ABOUT A WEEK BUT ONLY WHEN I SLOWED TO A STOP AND BEGAN TO SPEED UP. TODAY AS I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT THIRTY MILES FROM HOME I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT HOME. WHEN I WAS ON MAIN ROADS GOING ABOUT 55MPH, THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE GOING AWAY, BUT EACH TIME I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR CHEVY TRAVERSE OWNERS AND THAT THEY ALL SEEM TO BE OCCURRING AROUND 70,000 MILES. WITH ALL THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE MILLIONS OF GM VEHICLES RECALLED FOR POWER STEERING PROBLEMS RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS I AM VERY UPSET THAT THESE VEHICLES WERE NOT AMONG THEM.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE WHEN THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT TURN. THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR ALREADY PARKED AND THE GENTLEMAN GETTING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I PROFUSELY APOLOGIZED AND BACKED THE CAR OUT OF THE GENERAL AREA. I THEN MOVED TO THE BACK OF THE PARKING LOT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WHEN THE CAR OPERATED AT NORMAL SPEED, THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE STEERING. WHEN THE CAR OPERATED AT THE SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. WHEN I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET, I SAW THE MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME HAZARD. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING OUR FOUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR. AT THE TIME, I WAS DRIVING WITH THREE OF THE CHILDREN AND I WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN BY THE ENTIRE SITUATION. I AM HOPING THAT SOMEONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY A DEFECT SUCH AS THIS WAS NOT RECALLED OR, AT THE LEAST, PLACED ON A PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE BANK. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. I SERIOUSLY THINK THE PUBLIC SHOULD HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS COMING FROM THE ACTUAL DEALERSHIP WITH, AT THE LEAST, A PHONE CALL OR LETTER INFORMING OF THE HAZARD....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF UPDATED 12/05/2017*CN

CAR WAS PARKED AND RUNNING, TURNED OFF THE KEY AND PULLED IT OUT OF IGNITION AND THE CAR STAYED RUNNING. HAD TO PUT KEY BACK IN AND TURN 'ON', THEN TURNED OFF AND IT TURNED OFF THE WAY IT SHOULD. CONCERNED HOW THIS WILL AFFECT MY STEERING/ELECTRICAL/BRAKES/ AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT THE IGNITION AFFECTS.

I BROUGHT MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE IN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR WORK. I PREVIOUSLY HAD RECEIVED A SERVICE BULLETIN 14329A WHICH WAS FOR A DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING PUMP. DURING THE COURSE OF THE SERVICE, THE DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT DUE TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP BEING DEFECTIVE, THE STEERING RACK PUMP WAS ALSO NEEDING REPAIR. GM TOOK CARE OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP BUT NOT THE RACK PUMP AS THE RACK PUMP DID NOT HAVE A FORMAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT YET. IT IS DISAPPOINTING TO ME THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM AS THE POWER STEERING PUMP BEING DEFECTIVE CAUSED THE RACK PUMP TO ALSO BE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN COME OUT ON THE STEERING RACK PUMP AS MANY, MANY OTHERS ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS MYSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS UNKNOWN HAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS LOOSE. BROWN-DAUB CHEVY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT AND THEY SEEMED TO HAVE. TWO MONTHS LATER WHEN WE CLOSED THE DOOR THE WINDOW SHATTERED IN ITS FRAME. IT HAD TO BE BROKEN OUT AND REPLACED AND WHEN TECH WHO REMOVED IT FIXED IT HE SAID THE BOLTS HOLDING THE WINDOW WERE LOOSE. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER WE NOTICED WHEN WE LEFT THE WINDOW DOWN A LITTLE AND CLOSED THE DOOR THE WINDOW WOULD SHAKE. NO ONE SLAMS THE CAR DOORS. NOW BOTH MY FRONT WINDOWS SHAKE IF THEY ARE LEFT OPEN EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT. CLEARY PAYING FOR A NEW WINDOW WAS NOT THE ANSWER, THE BOLTS IN THE DOORS AREN'T ANY GOOD.

IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR OUR 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE STARTED GETTING HARD TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AND I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND I CAN NOT AFFORD 1200.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS LIKE IT IS THE POWER STEERING PUMP. AT THIS POINT WE HAVE NO POWER STEERING ABOUT 90 % OF THE TIME. IT IS GETTING DANGEROUS AT THIS POINT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WILL DO THIS WINTER IF WE START TO SLIDE WE WOULD BE UNABLE TO STEER FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP FROM WRECKING. WE NEED THIS CAR. OTHER THAN THE STEERING, I LOVE THIS CAR.

WHILE TURNING THE POWER STEERING FEELS VERY HEAVY AND DIFFICULT TO TURN AND MAKES A NOISE
