2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

MY WIFE HAS A 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH 60,000. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRACK WARNINGS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN FOUR WEEKS. ONCE THE POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WE WERE ON A CITY STREET WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC AND ONCE THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY. THANK GOD SHE WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IT HAPPENED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER EACH TIME WE GET THE MESSAGES. THE SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND COME BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE CHANGED A FUSE ON THE LAST VISIT. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND IT IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE AIR BAGS. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MAIN AIR BAG MODULE WAS REPLACED BY TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS (RADLEY CHEVROLET, 3670 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, FREDERICKSBURG, VA 22408, (540) 898-4000 AND BATTLEFIELD CHEVROLET, 10411 JAMES MONROE HWY, CULPEPPER, VA 22701, (540) 317-1844). BOTH DEALERS STATED THAT DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE AIR BAG WERE MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE CONTACT PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT COVERED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

AC WON'T COME ON OR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING COMES ON, SOMETIMES IT SETS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P0119, IF THE RECIRCULATE BUTTON IS NOT ON THEN IT LIGHTS UP AND AC COMPRESSOR SHUTS OFF, PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET EVERYTHING COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND RESTART THE CAR, SOMETIMES EVERY THING CLEARS UP BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL RESTARTS TO GET CAR TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. HAPPENS DRIVING ON ROAD OR STATIONARY. CHECKED BATTERY BUT SEEMS TO BE OK, CHECKED FUSE BOX AND THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX IS LOOSE, THE HOLD DOWN SCREWS IN THE FUSE BOX APPEAR TO BE STRIPPED AND WILL NOT TIGHTEN, SHIMMED THE BOX TO THE FRAME TO PREVENT IT FROM SHAKING AROUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM LAKESIDE CHEVROLET IN ROCKWALL, TX AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR, IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SERVICE AIRBAG ISSUE BUT THEY DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. KEEP LOOKING FOR RECALLS BUT NOTHING YET. THERE ARE CONSIDERABLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM WITH CARRYING THIS VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER IS THAT THEY DON'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY FACTORY DEFECTIVE.

MY [XXX] DAUGHTER (PERMIT DRIVER) DRIVING TO SCHOOL FOR EXTRA COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS (ON A SUNDAY) AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND NOT ACCELERATE, THE TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK STABILITY CONTROL FLASHING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A [XXX] DRIVER. WE PULLED OVER AND I TOOK THE WHEEL, SAME THING HAPPENED, WE BARELY MADE IT BACK HOME. ALSO, AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY, HAD THIS SERVICED DUE TO RECALL AND THE PROBLEM HAS STARTED AGAIN. FRUSTRATED MOM. PARTS 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). *AN

THE "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THE CAR LIMPS ALONG AT VERY LOW SPEED WITH NO POWER AVAILABLE. VERY DANGEROUS.

THE GAS GAGE/SENSOR IN THE TANK IS MESSED UP. THE GAGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE JUST UNDER 1/2 A TANK BUT WHEN I FILL UP IT TAKES ALMOST 15 GALLONS. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN 18-20 GALLON TANK. THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCE WHEN I HAVE HAD 1/4 TANK LEFT, FILLED TANK COMPLETELY AND THE GAGE TOOK OVER 48 HOURS TO RESET. I LOOKED TO THE GAS USED/LEFT DIGITAL READ OUT AND IT SAID I HAD USED 60 GALLONS ON A 1/2 FULL TANK. DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM IS AWARE BUT MADE NO OFFERS TO REPAIR.

MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES. THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE MOTOR AS IT SUDDENLY LOSES POTENCY AS THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. WHEN THE MOTOR LOSES POTENCY, IT PUTS "TRACK CONTROL ON" AND "TRACK CONTROL OFF" RIGHT AWAY, AS WELL AS A SIGN TO SERVICE "STABILITRACK". I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY DID A COMPUTERIZED SCAN WHERE IT SHOWS THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE OXYGEN SENSOR, LOW AIR ENTRANCE, PROBLEMS WITH THE INJECTORS, LOW VOLTAGE PROBLEM, BRAKE SYSTEM OFF, ETC. IN CONCLUSION, A SERIES OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR WHICH ARE NOT REAL. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS TO CLAIMS DUE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. TO THIS DATE, I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY RECALL OF THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS.

SERVICE AIR BAG ALERT AND ASSOCIATED PANEL LIGHT ARE SHOWING. TOOK VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE LAP PRETENSIONER. A SEARCH ON NHTSA SITE RESULTED IN RECALL # 14V266000. PROBLEM IS MY VIN DOES NOT APPEAR ON NHTSA OR GM DATABASES AS AN AFFECTED VIN. LIGHT IS PERSISTENTLY ON AT ALL TIMES.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT AROUND 70MPH AND MY TRAVERSE STARTED SHAKING LIKE THERE WAS TRASH IN MY FUEL PUMP. THEN I GET A MESSAGE THAT MY TRACTION CONTROL ISN'T WORKING. THEN MY TRAVERSE LOSES SPEED (AND WE ALMOST GET HIT) AND THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO 20MPH. I MADE IT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THE DASH READ STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. IT IS NOW AT THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AS IT IS UNDER A CARMAX EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME HE COULD NOT EVEN GET IT TO CRANK AND HE THOUGHT IT WAS OUT OF GAS (NO. 100 MILES TO E) THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 64000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED. I AM THANKFUL MY CHILDREN AND I WERE NOT KILLED WHEN WE LOST POWER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND UNACCEPTABLE.
