2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

CHEVY RECALLED TWO PARTS IN THE TRAVERSE LINE, A POWER STEERING PUMP AND ANOTHER PART RELATED TO THE STEERING. RECALL NUMBER 14329. WHEN THESE PARTS FAIL THEY CAN CAUSE THE RACK AND PINION TO ALSO FAIL. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO NUMEROUS TECHNICIANS AND THEY ALL BACK THIS CLAIM UP. OUR POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED AND CHEVY REPLACED THE PARTS BUT THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE RACK AND PINION TO FAIL WHICH CHEVY IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE.

ENGINE APPEARS TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. CODE P0008 COMES UP ON THE CODE READER AND SCANNING THE ENGINE WITH A SCAN TOOL REVEALS THAT THE TIMING CHAIN IS HAVING ISSUES. WITH SOME RESEARCH I FOUND NHTSA REFERENCE- 10043857 AND TSB REFERENCE- SB-11340 FOR THIS ISSUE. GM STATES THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH 2006 TO 2009 MODELS. I FEEL THOUGH THAT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY WITH THE 2010 MODEL AS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LADY AT GM SEEMS TO INDICATE. I ALSO HAVE HEARD THAT GM HAS EXTENDED THE COVERAGE TO 10 YEARS / 120K MILES FOR THIS ISSUE. IM GETTING NOWHERE WITH GM SO FAR!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ABS AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE SPEED REDUCED TO 25 MPH AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND. WHEN THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND POWERED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, THE WARNING INDICATORS WERE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,889. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,552.

I HAVE A CHEVY TRAVERSE 2010 AND THE DRIVERS REAR SEAT BELT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. THEY SEND ME A RECALL FOR THE SEAT BELL FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT BUT THE SEAT BELL IS WORKING VERY GOOD ,I TOOK THE SUV TO THE DEALER AND I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO PAY 200 BUT I THINK THIS IS A RECALL BECAUSE MY CAR HAS A CLEAN RECORD NO CAR ACCIDENT.

I HAD MY VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WITH A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE THAT IS COMMON TO THIS ENGINE. GM HAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT (#11340A) THAT IS HAVING THEIR DEALERSHIPS CHANGING OUT THE DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS UP TO THE MODEL YEAR 2009. MY VEHICLE IS REGISTERED AS A 2010 BUT HAS A BUILD DATE OF 11/09 AND I BELIEVE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH GM AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE OF NO ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. THE REPAIR WILL COST AROUND $4500.00.

I HAVE BEEN HEARING NOISE COMING FROM VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 2MONTHS,I HAVE HAD 3 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE IN THE LAST YEAR.THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA,THEY MEANING THE MACHANICS CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM. THEYHAVE FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT AND ITS COMING OM THE ENGINE/ALSO THERE WAS A RECALLON THE ANTI FREEZE CONTAINER AND I BROUGHT IT TO KERBECK IN ATLANTIC CITY THEY SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEMS/THERE IS A LEAK COMING FROM SOMEWHERE!! THIS VEH IS NOT WORTH MY TIME AND ENERGY. SHOULD I REPAIR THE PRODUCT AFTER THERE WAS A RECALL AND NO PROBLEMS,IM DISGUSTED BY THIS MATTER AND IF I COULD GET A HOLD OF A GM I WOULD TELL HIM WHERE MY THOUGHTS ARE ON THIS VEH..

BROUGHT THE 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE TO DEALER FOR A LEAKING WATER PUMP THAT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY IN NOVEMBER. VEHICHLE WAS IN REDUCED POWER MODE ONCE IT WAS STARTED UP AFTER WORK WAS COMPLETED ON WATER PUMP. AT THAT TIME I WAS INFORMED THE TIMING CHAIN WAS STRETCHED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE GM DEALER QUOTED ME $1834 TO REPLACE. UNACCEPTABLE AT THIS MILEAGE FOR A TIMING CHAIN TO BE STRETCHED THAT MUCH. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICHLES FOR THIS AND MANY OTHER ITEMS AND FIX THEIR JUNK THAT THEY TURN OUT FOR TOP DOLLAR. THAT ISN'T AN EASY TAB TO PICK UP FOR MOST OF US.

ON THE WAY TO LONGVIEW TEXAS, WE WERE DRIVING ON THE LOOP IN PALESTINE WHEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND PARK ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER QUICKLY AND WE HAD TO CROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I AM PREGNANT AND MY (XXX) YEAR OLD WAS IN THE CAR. VEHICLE WAS TOWED, I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE BACON CHEVROLET IN PALESTINE CHARGED ME $150 TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE SINCE THAT WAS DUE UP. THEY FIXED THREE RECALLS THAT WERE DUE ON MY VEHICLE I HAD OWNED FOR 1.5 YRS, THEN NONE OF THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. AGAIN ON MAY 12TH, YESTERDAY, MY VEHICLE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE VEHICLE RPM'S WOULD GO TO ABOUT 3,000 ONLY DRIVING 40 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. MY HUSBAND CAME OUT TO CHECK ON IT AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT HAD GONE OFF BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOM LIGHT CHEVY AND WAS TOLD "THERE HAVE BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THIS", THEY MUST NOT GET THE INTERNET THERE. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE OWNERS OF BOTH THE TRAVERSE AND THE EQUINOX (MY SISTER HAS ONE THAT HAS THE SAME ISSUE) FROM THE 2009 ALL THE WAY TO 2013 MODEL FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL AND WHY WE ARE PAYING TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS OR TO FIX THINGS WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON AGAIN AND TELL US THE ISSUE IS SOMETHING ELSE?! GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL OR THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE MANY CUSTOMERS WITH THE WAY IT IS BEING HANDLED. IF THESE LIGHTS COME ON AGAIN SOON, THIS WILL BE THREE TIMES IN SIX MONTHS! I AM LOOKING AT TRADING THIS VEHICLE IN AND TELLING EVERYONE I KNOW TO STAY APARTS 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).WAY FROM GM IF THIS IS HANDLED IMPROPERLY.

THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
