2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

IT'S DRIVABLE JUST I NOTICED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LIKE DASHBOARD RADIO GO DIM OCCASIONALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE MAYBE TAKE A HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR FOR THE LIGHTS TO GO REGULAR AND IF I HAVE THE RADIO AT HIGH VOLUME WHILE DRIVING AND I DECREASE SPEED THE VOLUME LOWERS ITSELF JUST A CONCERN THAT IT MAYBE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON BUT NO RECALLS FOR IT. *TR

THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON THAT IT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. *TR

VEHICLE WITH 110,000 MILES WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE. HAS CODES P0017 AND P0008 REQUIRING A NEW TIMING CHAIN. TIMING CHAINS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE MOTOR. WHEN DO MOTORS ONLY LAST 100K MILES? THIS KNOWN ISSUE FROM 2009 HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT HAD SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIMING CHAIN WAS REPLACED BUT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES LATER THE FAILURE HAD REOCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER PATRIOT CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 40 AUTO PARK BLVD, LIMERICK PA, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY TIMING CHAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN PULLING TO THE SIDE IF THE ROAD THE CAR JUST SHUT OF AND WENT DEAD. TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AND I NOW HAVE A $8,900 BILL BECAUSE THE ENGINE SEIZED UP DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN. SO I NOW HAVE A BIG BLUE PERMANENT YARD FIXTURE BECAUSE WHO CAN AFFORD TO FIX THIS CAR IN THE PANDEMIC. I'VE HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WHY IS CHEVY NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES??

THE STEERING TO SO HARD IN TO CAR WHEN TRYING TO TURN. LIKE CAR CHOOSES WHEN TO LOOSEN UP OR NOT

SOMETIMES WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND MAKES IT REALLY HARD TO TURN SOMETIMES WHEN DOING SO IT LOOSENS UP ALL OF A SUDDEN CAUSING IT TO JERK/ TURN TO FAST WHICH COULD CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. A LOT OF TIMES WHEN TAKING OFF THE TRAVERSE DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT THEN HAVING TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF ROAD TO PUT IN PARK AND PUT BACK IN GEAR THEN GO AND ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING THE CAR SHIFTS REALLY HARD JERKING THE VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTING!! THE 2ND ROW HEAT/ AIR CONTROLS GET REALLY HOT EVEN WHEN NOT IN USE.

THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WOULD THEN START BACK UP WHILE STILL ROLLING ON THE HIGHWAY. AT LIGHTS IT SHUTOFF AND I THEN HAD TOBRESTART IT IT DID THIS ALL THE WAY HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SCANNER SAYS P0019 STATES IT'S THE CORRELATION N TIMING CHAIN AND CAM SENSOR. UPON RESEARCHING THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS IN PARTICULAR MOTOR. DOING THIS WHILE ON THE ROAD IS INCREDIBLE UNSAFE AND COULD HAVE CAUSE ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT.

MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES. FIRST THE DVD PLAYER WENT OUT THEN THE AIR AND HEAT QUIT BLOWING, DURING THIS THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY LOSE POWER COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING BUT COULD BE BUMPED BACK ON BY JAMMING ON THE GAS OR RESTARTING THE CAR. THE VEHICLE STARTED LOCKING IN MY KEY AND SETTING OFF THE ANTI THEFT ELECTRIC LOCKDOWN. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SOME OF THE ISSUES STOPPED BRIEFLY (THE ANTI THEFT AND POWER LOSS) BUT THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED WITHIN A MONTH AND THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER START OR ALLOW THE BATTERY TO CHARGE VIA JUMP OR CHARGE PACK.

THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT'S THE SAME CHAIN THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 2009 TRAVERSE. THE ENGINE TAKES A WHILE TO ACCELERATE.
