2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR. PROBLEM LASTS FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS BUT VERY UNNERVING. *TR

WAS GETTING READY TO PARK ON THE STREET WHEN A CAR HIT ME,I HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME,MY CAR WAS THROWN ON THE SIDE WALK,I WAS PASS OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS,BUMP MY HEAD,MY CAR WAS TOTAL, FRONT AND REAR,SURPRISINGLY MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY TO HELP PROTECT ME FROM MY INJURIES I GOT. *TR

FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY. WE FINALLY HAD TO GET THE POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED YESTERDAY. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS. ALMOST RAN INTO ANOTHER CAR HEAD ON BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN. ASK OUR DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND OF COURSE THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE HAVING PROBLEM. THAT WE NEED A NEW POWER STEERING RACK AT $1400.00. FUNNY THAT THIS WEB SITE HAS TONS. IN TODAY'S WORLD - WHERE CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOULD BE TOP OF THE LINE IT IS AT THE BOTTOM. NO WONDER PEOPLE BUY FOREIGN CARS. *TR

POWER STEERING GIVES OUT AT LOW SPEEDS. TOOK TO CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THIS OCCURS FREQUENTLY. *TR

THE STEERING GETS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN ON OCCASIONS. POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED STEERING QUITS WORKING CAUSING CAR NOT TO TURN. AT ONE POINT MY WIFE ALMOST HIT A RETAINING WALL WITH OUR KIDS. SOMETIMES IT MAKES IT HARD TO PARK AND HARD TO TURN IN A PARKING LOT. *TR

THE TRAVERSE HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING, AS IN IT DOES NOT TURN(AT ALL) AT LOW SPEEDS. THE POWER STEERING WILL NOT WORK 90% OF THE TIME WHEN TURNING AT 10MPH OR LOWER. GETTING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO ONLY PULL OUT ONE WAY. THE SCARIEST INSTANCE FOR US WAS WHEN WE TRIED TO PULL INTO A TURN LANE ACROSS A FIVE LANE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN TO STRAIGHTEN UP IN THE TURN LANE. LUCKILY THE OTHER DRIVERS STOPPED BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAD THEY NOT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN BEFORE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. WE ARE TAKING IT TO SOMEONE NEW NEXT WEEK. *TR

JULY 1ST 2014: I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING STALL AT WORK AND HEARD 3 DINGS, LOOKED AT MY DASH, SAW THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT FLASH, AND THEN THE CAR POWERED DOWN. I COULD NOT GET IT TO RESTART AND CALLED FOR A TOW. AFTER A FEW DAYS IN THE SHOP I GOT MY CAR BACK AND ALL SEEMED FINE. THEY CLEARED SOME "CODES". AUGUST 23RD 2014: I WENT GROCERY SHOPPING - WENT TO START MY CAR AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED AGAIN. SAME AS ABOVE, CALLED FOR A TOW. A FEW DAYS LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK. THEY CLEARED SOME MORE "CODES". AUGUST 28TH 2014: I HAD MY CAR HOME FOR LESS THAN 24 HOURS AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AS YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS - I GOT IT TOWED AND IT IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON. I'M SO HAPPY I'M MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I DON'T EVEN GET TO DRIVE. MY HUSBAND HAS A 1997 FORD F150 WITH OVER 215K MILES - IT STARTS EVERYDAY. MY CAR HAS 67K MILES. I GUESS THE MOST IRRITATING THING IS THAT THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE IN THE FORM OF A RECALL. THAT IS PATHETIC!! YOU ARE LOSING LOYAL CUSTOMERS. YOU ARE [XXX] THE MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES THAT PURCHASE YOUR VEHICLES. DO YOU THINK ANY OF THE MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND CEO'S ARE DRIVING CHEVY'S??? MAYBE IF THERE BMW'S OR VOLVO'S DIDN'T START...OH WAIT GM DOESN'T MAKE THOSE, SO THEY PROBABLY WORK JUST FINE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS...SOMEONE WITH A CONSCIENCE AT GM DO SOMETHING!!!!!! *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
