2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

OUR VEHICLE ONLY HAS 15000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING OT NORMALLY IN A 35 ZONE ON A CITY STREET AND MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND NOT ACCELERATE. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS AND BELLS AND WHISTLES STARTED GOING OFF. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT INTO MY CHEVY DEALER TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER HAVING IT LESS THAN 24 HOURS THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME SAYING THEY SAW THE WARNING ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY DID NOTHING CAUSE THE CAR ISN'T DOING IT ANYMORE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I SEE IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSE SINCE 2011 MODELS. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP DOES NOTHING TO FIX THIS. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY AND HAVE US GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 1.5 YEARS AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR KILLED WHILE DRIVING ONE.

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING, WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING IT WILL RUN ROUGH, BUCK AND NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. WHEN YOU STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR ALL OF THE SYSTEM LIGHTS TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SERVICED THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE INJECTORS ON ONE SIDE, THEN FIVE MONTHS LATER IT STARTED AGAIN. WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOW AT THE FIRST DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACED THE INJECTORS AND NO SYSTEM CODES PRESENTED AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE.

TRAVELING AT 65+ MPH THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER, LITTLE SHAKING, ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS AND AFTER 1/2 MILE + THE VEHICLE GOES BACK TO NORMAL. VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY AND WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES WITH NO REPAIR OF THE ISSUE. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM.

MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND THEN WOULD GO OFF AND BAG ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG WAS BAD AND I BOUGHT MY CAR ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO BRAND NEW. I WAS 10,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY, SO THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. AN AIRBAG ISSUE IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE! NOW 3 WEEKS AFTER HAVING IT SERVICED MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN! I HAVE 3 SMALL KIDS IN MY CAR EVERY DAY AND I AM WORRIED TO BE DRIVING IT. I THINK THAT GM SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE!!

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR MESSAGE CENTER SAID REDUCE ENGINE SPEED STABILINK OFF AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALSO..SO I WAS DOING 65 AND ALL OFF SUDDEN ITHE CAR WENT TO 40..ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED A AND INTO A CRASH

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON, THERE IS, PER THE SELLER NO PROBLEM AND THE 36,000 MILES AND 3 YEARS IS PAST SO I HAVE TO PAY TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE, MEANWHILE I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE AIRBAGS ARE EVEN WORKING!

1.- DURING THE LAST QUARTER OF 2015, THE VEHICLE STARTED FAILING, SHUTTING DOWN ITSELF ON ROAD OR PULLED OVER (RANDOM FAIL) 2.- AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF 'ANALYSIS', THEY DETERMINED THAT A 'MODULE' WAS DAMAGED AND HAD TO BE EXCHANGED ZERO COST, SINCE THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. 3.- AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF THE CAR ON THE WORKSHOP, THE FINALLY PROVIDE US THE CAR AGAIN, STATING THAT EVERYTHING WAS PROPERLY FIXED AND RESOLVED. 4.- ON JANUARY 2016, VEHICLE SHUTDOWN SURPRISINGLY ON A ROAD AT HIGH SPEED. VEHICLE WAS SOLD IN MEXICO AND DEALERSHIP HAS NOT PROVIDED SATISFACTORY SERVICE

SINCE BUYING THIS VEHICLE, MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. I'VE TAKEN IT IN THREE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM AND ONCE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL. MY TIRE LIGHT /WARNING ALSO CONTINUES TO SHOW DESPITE THE DEALERSHIP NOT FINDING A PROBLEM.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION IN ANY DRIVING CONDITION THE AIRBAG SERVICE INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THIS WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST AND THEN STAYED ON AFTER A FEW DAYS. DEALER WILL NOT COVER THIS KEY SAFETY COMPONENT FAILURE. THIS SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE LAST RECALL FOR AIRBAG FAILURE ON THE 2009-2013 TRAVERSE MODEL VEHICLES MADE THIS YEAR. THE RECALL FIXES THE YELLOW WIRE HARNESS CONNECTOR FAILURE BY CUTTING IT AWAY AND SPLICING THE WIRES TOGETHER. THERE ARE NOW TECHNICAL BULLETINS OUT FOR THE 2014 TRAVERSES THAT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *JS

DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE REGISTERS AN ERROR CODE OF B0022. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, GM TELLS THEM TO CHECK FOUR WIRES ON THE CONNECTORS TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WIRING HARNESS THAT CAUSES THE CHECK AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. SPECIFICALLY, GM TELLS THE DEALER TO SOLDER THE CONNECTIONS ON THE FOUR WIRES ON THE CONNECTOR. THE DEALER HAS ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS ILLUMINATED, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW. IF THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED THIS COULD RESULT IN MAJOR INJURIES. ALSO, A CONNECTOR TERMINATION PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE DEALER, ESPECIALLY IN A CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEM SUCH AS THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.
