2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

ENGINE POWER REDUCED, STABILITY TRACK LOSS LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY VEHICLES ENGINE POWER CAME TO A STOP WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH MY WIFE ON THE HWY. COULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE, ONLY FOUND MULTIPLE CODES FROM THE PAST AND STILL COULD NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE THESE VEHICLES ASAP OR FIX THIS ISSUE. LAWSUITS WILL BE FILED.

THE SEAT BELT ANCHORS ON THE 2ND ROW BENCH SEAT HAVE INJURED SEVERAL OF MY PASSENGERS, INCLUDING MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. I'VE ONLY OWNED CAR FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR A LOVE IT, EXCEPT FOR THIS HUGE PROBLEM. THE ANCHORS ARE NON-BENDABLE AND ARE JUST TOO LONG AND RIGID. WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO SIT OR SCOOT OVER, THEY HAVE BEEN INJURED AND COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK ITS AN ISSUE WITH THE PERSONS SIZE, BECAUSE BOTH SLIM AND LARGE FRAMED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED BY THESE ANCHORS IN MY CAR. MY SON IS ONLY 120 LBS AND GOT A HUGE BRUISE FROM ACCIDENTALLY SITTING DOWN TOO QUICKLY. JUST RECENTLY, WE RECENTLY TOOK A ROAD TRIP AND HE BRUISED HIS TAILBONE FROM THE ANCHOR PRESSING UP AGAINST HIM WHILE HE SLEPT. MY NIECE WAS IN HER CAR SEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF 2ND ROW SO HE ONLY HAD SO MUCH ROOM. I HAVE PERSONALLY INJURED MYSELF WHEN CLEANING OUT MY CAR. AT LEAST 8-10 PEOPLE (KIDS AND ADULT FRIENDS) HAVE BEEN INJURED (TEMPORARILY) AND COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT THESE SEAT BELT ANCHORS BEING A NUISANCE AND UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THEIR TRAVEL. THIS MAKES ME FEEL BAD BECAUSE I CHOSE THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF VEHICLE SO I COULD TRAVEL WITH MORE PEOPLE, BUT KNOWING THAT THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE DEFEATS THE PURPOSE, ESPECIALLY FOR LONG TRIPS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A HUGE DESIGN FLAW THAT SOMEHOW FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS AND IS DEFINITELY AND ISSUE PER THE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS FOUND ONLINE. EITHER THE ANCHORS NEED TO BE SHORTENED OR THEY NEED TO BE DESIGNED LIKE THE MAJORITY OF OTHER CARS WHERE THE ANCHOR IS MOVABLE AND MORE FLEXIBLE. IM INCLUDING PICTURES OF THE 2ND ROW AND 3RD ROW ANCHORS SO THE DIFFERENCE CAN BE SEEN. THE 3RD ROW ONES ARE NO PROBLEM AND I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED COMPALINTS ABOUT THEM. I THINK THE 2ND ROW ANCHORS SHOULD BE DESIGNED SIMILAR TO THE 3RD ROW ONES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

CAR LOST POWER ON HIGHWAY DUE TO SERVICE STABILIZER MESSAGE. THEN THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT MY POWER STEERING WAS LEAKING AND NEEDS A 2400 REPAIR WHICH I SEE IS COVERED BY SERVICE BULLETIN SB-10052379-9767 BUT THEY SAY MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T COVERED. *TR

THE SERVICE AIRBAG ALERT COMES ON FOR NO REASON, THEN GOES OFF. IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN AND DID NOT GO OFF. I DRIVE SPEEDS OF 30 TO 60 MPH. MY LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND RADIO DIMS AND THE RADIO CUTOFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CAN CUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. I ALSO EXPERIENCE WATER POURING INTO TO MY TRAVERSE RIGHT OVER MY FRONT OVER HEAD LAMPS INSIDE. THERE WAS SO MUCH WATER IT FILLED THE CUP HOLDER AND THE SHIFT WAS WET. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED AND I DON'T HAVE ANY CRACKS ON MY FRONT WINDOW. I HAVE NO CLUE HOW THE WATER IS COMING INTO MY TRAVERSE FROM THE TOP AND LEAKING IN THROUGH THE FRONT OVER HEAD LAMPS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, 1 DAY AGO I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE. I ASKED IF IT WAS COMMON, WITH THE TRAVERSE AND I WAS TOLD NO. I OBVIOUSLY THEY LIED, BECAUSE I HAD TO COME ON THIS WEBSITE TO SEE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM NOT A CAR EXPERT BUT THE MAN AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS BEEN DOING THIS LINE OF WORK FOR 30+ YEARS SAID HE COULD SMELL THE WATER HAS SOON HAS HE SAT IN THE VEHICLE. SO OBVIOUSLY WATER HAS BEEN LEAKING IN FROM SOME WHERE FOR A WHILE NOW TO BE ABLE TO SMELL THE WATER. I KEEP MY CAR VERY CLEAN AND MY CARPETS ARE DRY. SO THE WATER MUST BE COMING IN SOMEWHERE FROM THE ROOF AND STAYING RESERVED IN A PARTICULAR AREA UNTIL IT POURS OUT. THE WATER MAY BE THE REASON I AM HAVING THE OTHER ISSUES, AND MAY BE EACH PROBLEMS IS NOT RELATED AT ALL. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I AM PAYING CAR NOTE ON A CAR THAT IS AM SKEPTICAL ABOUT DRIVING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE NOT ONLY MY SAFETY TO WORRY ABOUT I ALSO HAVE MY CHILDREN SAFETY CONSIDER AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE TOO. THE LIGHTS DIMS WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN IDLING. THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING, IDLING, OR IN PARK. *TR

SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEM WITH SEAT BELT, INSTRUMENTAL PANEL (RESET) AND ONE MORE THING THAT WE DO NOT REMEMBER WHAT IT IS. AT THIS TIME WE ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEM WITH ALL BREAK LIGHTS NOT OPERATIONAL WHICH WAS RECALLED DECEMBER 26, 2014 FOR THE REASON THAT THE CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE MAY BE INTERNALLY CONTAMINATED, RESULTING IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT..VERY DANGEROUS HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED AND YET COULD NOT CONVINCE ME WHY WE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH RECALLS. WE HAVE APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN ON TUESDAY, NOV 28,, 2016. WE NEED HELP TO MAKE SURE THAT CHEVY FIXES THIS CAR AT NO COST TO US..IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT A 2YRS OLD AR WILL DEVELOP THESE PROBLEMS WHILE YOUR ARE STILL PAYING CAR NOTE. WE BELIEVE THERE WAS A MISTAKE WHEN RECALLS WERE MADE THAT APPARENTLY MOST CARS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED WERE MISSED UNLESS WHY SUCH A COINCIDENCE. CHEVY ISSUED ME A COMPLAIN NUMBER: 8-2539917328. WE WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND ROLLED BACK INTO A SWAMP AREA. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,800. UPDATED 01/04/17*LJ CONSUMER STATED WHILE ROLLING BACKWARD, THE BRAKES AND STEERING WERE UNRESPONSIVE. COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP. TRUCK WAS RUNNING THE ENTIRE TIME, BUT UNRESPONSIVE TO DRIVER. UPDATED 7/6/18*JB *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY AT A SPEED OF 35MPH, A MESSAGE SAYING "SERVICE AIR BAG" BEGAN APPEARING IN THE DIC AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON AND OFF ON THE DASH AND OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS OCCURRED MORE OFTEN UNTIL NOW IT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS STATING EXACTLY THE SAME THING OR SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. INSTEAD, NOW I GET TO SCHEDULE SERVICE AND PAY FOR A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT OUT OF POCKET.

SLIGHTLY IN MOTION ABOUT 5 MPH AND SOMETIMES AROUND 50 MPH, THE DIC WILL RESET WITHIN A SPLIT SECOND, THE RADIO WILL CUTOFF AND ALL DASHBOARD SIGNS WILL COME ON MOMENTARILY LIKE A RESET. THIS IS A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE DUE TO FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH, FAULTY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS SHORTED OR EVEN POOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CAUSING VOLTAGE DIFFERENCE

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON TODAY, 10/25/16. NOTHING HAPPENED TO CAUSE THE LIGHT TO COME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE AIRBAG HAS BECOME INOPERABLE. SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF ISSUES REPORTED AND EVEN A RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS. WIFE WAS ABOUT 2 MILES FROM HOUSE WHEN INDICATOR CAME ON DRIVING 55-60 DOWN HIGHWAY. UNKNOWN WHAT THE ISSUE IS AT THIS TIME BUT DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE AIRBAG TO BECOME INOPERABLE. HAS TO BE A FAULTY PART AS NO ACCIDENTS TO CAUSE A ISSUE. *TR
