2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, BUT NO PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS "JERKING" OR IT EVEN FEELS LIKE IT IS FALLING OUT. I'VE READ THAT IT CAN TAKE A WHILE FOR THE VEHICLE TO "LEARN" HOW YOU DRIVE, BUT THIS DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. ALMOST TOO SCARED TO DRIVE. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY VEHICLE STALLED (I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS UNTIL I TRIED TO GO AT A GREEN LIGHT) AND WOULDN'T MOVE...EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE IT IN PARK. I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND ON TWICE BEFORE MY VEHICLE WOULD MOVE. I'VE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AS WELL. IT'S ONLY A 2014. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING!

MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY MECHANIC ALSO NOTED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY PASSENGER SEAT BELT ANCHOR PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT LOOP. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS, AND THESE ISSUES SHOULD BE RECALLED, BUT MY DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL.

CAR LOST THROTTLE CONTROL. ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING, BUT CAR JUST LOST POWER WITH NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP CLEANED THROTTLE BODY AND RESET CPU, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY, TURNING VEHICLE OFF LETTING IT SIT FOR A MINUTE DOES REMEDY THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY, BUT EVENTUALLY HAPPENS AGAIN WITH NO WARNING WHICH COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. DATE BELOW WAS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK FOR THE FIRST TIME WHICH WAS OVER A YEAR AGO AFTER WE HAD THE BREAK BOOSTER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

THE AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT WENT OFF ON 3/27/17 AFTER GETTING NEW TIRES. ALSO A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THE CAR WENT OUT OF PARK WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, I RAN OUT TO STOP IT!

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSS POWER THEN COMPLETELY SHUT OFFF. IT DISPLAYS SEVERAL MESSAGES SAYING LOSS ENGINE POWER, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL. ONCE I GOT THE TRAVERSE TO THE MEDIAN, IT RESTARTED AND SOUNDED LIKE A VERY OLD PICK UP TRUCK. I RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND IT SOUNDED NORMAL. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK , THAT TOWED IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT IT TWO DAYS AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND CHARGED ME $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THIS HAPPEN 2 MORE TIMES AFTER THIS ON THE INTERSTATE (65MPH AGAIN) AND WHILE I WAS PARKING IN A PARKING LOT (2 MPH) AGAIN, IT WAS SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THE SAME THING ...COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOTE, IT WAS SENT TO 2 SEPARATE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN DIFFERENT COUNTIES. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL, ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO FIX THIS OR ANY COMPENSATION. SIMPLY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER .

WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR I WILL GET THREE AUDIBLE "BONGS" THEN I WILL GET ERROR MESSAGES "SERVICE STABILITRAK", TRACTION CONTROL OFF", ENGINE POWER REDUCED". AT THIS TIME I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE SPEED OF THIS VEHICLE. I CAN DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND GET AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM BUT NO MORE FORWARD SPEED (MPH). MY FORWARD SPEED WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE. I WILL HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. WAIT TWO OR THREE MINUTES THEN RESTART THE ENGINE. IF I AM LUCKY THE VEHICLE WILL OPERATE NORMALLY BUT WILL DISPLAY A SERVICE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE CONTACTED MY AUTO DEALER AND PARTS WERE INSTALLED. I ASKED ABOUT THE CAUSE OF THIS PREDICAMENT AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE SAME SITUATION COULD BE CAUSED BY A HUNDRED DIFFERENT SENSORS IN THE VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. 17K MILES AND 12 MONTHS LATER. AGAIN; THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A COUNTRY ROAD OR IF THESE ERRORS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN ON RAMP TO HI-WAY TRAFFIC THE DANGER INCREASE. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR ERROR MESSAGES TO WARN OF ENGINE PROBLEMS BUT THE CONTROL OF FORWARD SPEED SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE DRIVER.

I BOUGHT MY 2014 TRAVERSE USED IN FEBRUARY 2015 WITH APPOX 25,000 MILES. HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL DECEMBER 2016 WITH APPOX 58,000 MILES. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES BETWEEN 12/28/16 AND 2/9/17. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND IT WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER IT RAINED. I ONLY BRING UP THE RAIN BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME I TOOK TO DEALER, THE SERVICE ADVISER IMMEDIATELY LOOKED TO SEE IF I HAD A SUNROOF BECAUSE HE SAID THE DESCRIPTION OF MY PROBLEM WAS SIMILAR TO A TRAVERSE SUNROOF PROBLEM WHERE WATER WAS GETTING IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN AT A STOP OR REDUCED SPEED THE VEHICLE VIBRATES, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE FLASHES, LOSS OF STABILITY FLASHES, ENGINE POWER REDUCE FLASHES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. THE FIRST 3 TIMES THIS HAPPENED, MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS TO PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE OFF. EACH TIME I DID THIS IT STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEM BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER EACH TIME WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE 3RD TIME, I CALLED GM AND A CASE NUMBER WAS OPENED. I WAS ADVISED TO PURCHASE ONSTAR (NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION) AND TOLD THAT IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO DRIVE DIRECTLY TO A GM DEALER WITHOUT SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 2/9/17 WHILE DRIVING APPOX 25 MPH IN MORNING TRAFFIC. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO A GM DEALER AT A SPEED OF 20 MPH IN A 50 MPH ZONE. I FELT VERY UNSAFE. ON 2/14 A DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE - REPLACE THE ENGINE COMPUTER (COVERED UNDER WARRANTY) AND THE UNDER HOOD FUSE BLOCK (NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND A $725 REPAIR). AS OF 3/1/17, I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER'S SERVICE ADVISER THAT THE UNDER HOOD FUSE BLOCK IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND HE IS UNSURE WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE. I LEFT A VOICEMAIL FOR A GM CALIFORNIA REP THAT HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ME SINCE A CASE WAS OPENED UP. I LEFT A MESSAGE AFTER BUSINESS HOURS BUT IT'S NOW 1 PM AND HE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALL.

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE USING KEY REMOTE, GASOLINE LEAKS FROM STATIONARY VEHICLE FROM UNDERNEATH.

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING. TRACTION STABILITRAK SERVICE AND ABS LIGHT ARE ON CUTTING ENGINE POWER TO WHEELS. IN MOTION HIGHWAY SPEED.

THE AIRBAG SERVICE NEEDED LIGHT WENT ON. I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 AND A HALF YEARS. THE LIGHT IS ON WHEN I'M DRIVING OR WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR. *TR
