SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR, I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION BE VERY ERRATIC. IT SEEMS TO SHIFT DOWN AND UP AT THE WRONG TIMES. IT'S VERY INCONSISTENT AS I TRAVEL THE SAME ROUTE EACH DAY TO WORK, I NEVER KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO. SOMETIMES IT LURCHES AHEAD AND THE RPM'S ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND DOWNSHIFTS WHEN IT REALLY SHOULDN'T. I'VE TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIR, THEY PUT THE LATEST COMPUTER CHIP IN IT, WHICH MAYBE HELPED A LITTLE. STILL FOR THE MOST PART IT'S THE WORST CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN-AS A PASSENGER IT FEELS LIKE THE DRIVER IS EITHER USING THE ACCELERATOR OR BRAKE WAY TOO OFTEN, WHEN IN FACT, THE DRIVER IS JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE A SMOOTH ACCELERATION OR BRAKING, BUT THE CAR HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. *TR

TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) ON THE 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE CONSTANTLY GOES ON AND OFF. AT THIS POINT IT IS USELESS SINCE THE TIRES ALWAYS CHECK OUT OK BY THE DEALER. THEY SIMPLY RESET THE UNIT AND MOVE ON. *TR

ON MORE THEN 5 OCCASIONS DURING NORMAL DRIVING WITH MY NEW CAR ON A SLIGHT (10 DEGREE) INCLINE AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT WILL ROLL BACKWARDS INTERMITTENTLY AS IF THE SHIFTER WAS IN NEUTRAL. FROM THE TIME IT TAKE FOR ME TO MOVE MY RIGHT FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE CAR WILL ROLL BACK AT LEAST 4 FEET UNTIL I EITHER HIT THE BRAKE AGAIN OR ACCELERATOR TO STOP THE ROLL. THE CAR HAS 2,5 ON IT AND THIS ISSUE HAS GONE ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN IN REVERSE THE CAR WILL ROLE FORWARD ON AN INCLINE. *TR

ON ABOUT 4 OCCASIONS IN THE 5 WEEKS I HAVE HAD MY CAR, THE GEARS HAVE BEEN APPEARING TO SKIP. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS AND WHEN I GO AGAIN AND PRESS THE GAS IT JUMPS A GEAR AND LUNGES THE CAR FORWARD. THIS WEEK IT HAPPENED FOR THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME AND THIS TIME I HIT SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY ENDED UP STOPPING IN FRONT OF ME BUT MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD LIKE IT WAS SKIPPING GEARS. IT HAS ALSO ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS DOWNGRADED QUICKLY LIKE IT WAS DROPPING TWO SHIFT SPEEDS AT ONCE. *TR

WHEN MY CRUISE IS ON AND I HAVE A STEEP INCLINE TO APPROACH, ONCE I AM DOWN THE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS FROM 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 4TH OR 5TH GEAR AND STAYS THERE. MY DEALER HAS RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON THIS 4 TIMES NOW, AND STILL NO ANSWER. I HAVE BULLETIN NUMBER #09-06-04-019 ISSUED 3-23-09 AND MY VEHICLE IS HAVING ALL THE PROBLEMS LISTED. IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE LATEST SOFTWARE, BUT IT STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REQUESTED ANOTHER VEHICLE AS THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS 2 WEEKS OLD AND IT IS NOW 6 WEEKS OLD. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I HAVE IT ON CRUISE ON THIS TYPE OF INCLINE. WHAT OTHER CORRECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM? *TR
