2017 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR INTO MY GARAGE IT JUST STARTED TO SPEED UP, I APPLIED THE BRAKES. BUT IT DID NOT STOP AND HIT THE WALL.

WE OWN A 2017 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE WITH 8 PASSENGER SEATING. THE SECOND SEAT MIDDLE SEATBELT ANCHORS ARE VERY PAINFUL TO PASSENGERS. THE ANCHORS ARE ENTIRELY TOO STIFF AND STICK STRAIGHT OUT FROM THE 90 DEGREE POINT OF THE SEAT WITH NO "GIVE" AT ALL. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PASSENGERS TO SIT APPROPRIATELY IN THIS SEAT -- THE PASSENGER IS FORCED TO SIT A BIT SIDEWAYS TO AVOID BEING DISCOMFORTED BY THE BELTS. THE ANCHORS ALSO MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO APPROPRIATELY INSTALL A CAR SEAT IN THE MIDDLE POSITION. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER.

MY VEHICLE WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION ROUTINELY DOES NOT CHIME FOR A PASSANGER OR DRIVER WITHOUT A SEATBELT. THE LIGHT DOES COME ON BUT IT WILL ONLY CHIME 10% OF THE TIME. I AM NOT HAVING ISSUES WITH IT CHIMING WHEN THERE IS NOT A PERSON IS IN THE SEAT. I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE IF I AM DRIVING AND MY PASSANGER TAKES OFF THERE SEATBELT IT DOES NOT ALERT ME WITH SOUNDS. IT ALSO DOES NOT ALERT ME WOTH SOUND IF I MYSELF FORGET TO APPLY MY SEATBELT. I HAVE CALLED AND SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES. ONE OF THE SERVICE PEOPLE HAVE HEARD THIS ISSUE OCCUR WHERE IT WOULD CHIME SOMETIMES WHEN HE DID NOT HAVE HIS SEATBELT ON AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD NOT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY IF THE SEATBELT AND WEIGHT SENSOR FOR THE PASSANGER AND DRIVER ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT IT IS NOT AN ISSUE PER THE DEALERSHIP AND TO ME IT IS AS I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR NOT CHIME NOTIFYING YOU THAT THE SEATBELTS ARE NOT FASENED. THE DEALERSHIP DID TAKE THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE OFF THERE LOT TO TEST IN A DIFFERENT CAR AND THAT VEHICLE NEVER CHIMED FOR THE LACK OF A FASTENED SEATBELT. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS AT 500 MILES AND IT IS NOW OVER 5000 AND STILL NOT RESOLVED.

CONSISTANLTY LOSING TIRE PRESSURE, SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE. I HAVE TO ADD AIR TO TIRES ON A MONTHLY BASIS...

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT WARNING, SHUT DOWN. WHEN I SAY SHUT DOWN, I MEAN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THIS WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL POWER TO THE CAR. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, THE LIGHTS (INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL) SHUT OFF, THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING, THE BRAKES WHERE DIFFICULT TO PUSH DOWN, ETC. AS I AM NOW COASTING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH NO POWER TO THE CAR I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED ON MY FLASHERS. WITH NO POWER STEERING AND BRAKES THAT ARE STIFF, I SOMEHOW WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY FORCE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND GET IT TO STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I PUT IT IN PARK AND SAT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TRYING AGAIN. ONCE I TRIED, THE VEHICLE STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE MORNING AFTER THIS INCIDENT, I STARTED UP MY TRAVERSE AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE IS SHOWING EMPTY, BUT THE CAR HAD A HALF OF A TANK WHEN I GOT HOME LAST NIGHT. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUS GOING ON WITH THIS TRAVERSE AND CHEVROLET VEHICLES IN GENERAL. THIS IS THE 2ND DIFFERENT VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED THAT HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE 1ST CAR WAS A 2016 CHEVROLET IMPALA.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH ONLY 12000 MILES ON IT WHEN A LIGHT CAME ON FOR "TRACTION CONTROL " WITHIN 3 SECONDS I LOST ALL POWER. THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT THE TIME. I HAD TO GET MY BRAND NEW CAR TOWED AND THEY SAID A FUSE BLEW AND THEY REPLACED THAT. THEN ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE MODULE. I WAS WITHOUT A CAR FOR 3 DAYS! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL HAD I BEEN ON A BUSY ROAD OR EXPRESSWAY. I WILL BE GETTING RID OF THIS CAR ASAP AND DO NOT EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT TO THE DEALER TO TRADE IT IN! I'VE RECENTLY LEARNED THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM IN GM CARS AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS! SHAME ON GM THEY NEED TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED.

MY DAUGHTER WAS TANGLED WHEN A SEAT BELT GOT WRAPPED AROUND HER NECK AND WOULD NOT LOOSEN BECAUSE IT WAS IN RETRACT MODE AND IT WOULD ONLY TIGHTEN MORE. I HAD TO CUT HER OUT OF THE BELT. THEIR SHOULD BE A WAY TO OVERRIDE THE RETRACTION ON BELTS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME AND I WAS HOME AND ABLE TO GRAB SCISSORS. U DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD OF DONE IF I WAS IN THE ROAD AS I DON'T KEEP SCISSORS IN MY CAR. I DO NOW THOUGH.

MOISTURE IS VISIBLE IN BOTH FRONT HEAD LAMPS AFTER RAIN OR DEW FROM OVERNIGHT. BERGEY'S CHEVROLET (COLMAR, PA) SAW PICTURES AND ADVISED THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM CHEVROLET THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND TO ONLY REPLACE THEM IF THEY ARE FILLED WITH WATER. OTHERWISE THE LIGHTS SHOULD CLEAR WITHIN 2-6 HOURS. NOT COMET LT SATISFIED WITH H THE ANSWER BUT WILL MONITOR.
