2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V266000 I PURCHASED A 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE FROM EKINS CHEVROLET ON JUNE 7TH, 2014 AND TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME THE SAME DAY. ON JUNE 18TH, 2014 I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL INDICATING THAT RECALL PARTS WERE READY TO BE INSTALLED DESPITE THAT I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED HAD A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT THAT HAD NOT BEEN FIXED. THE SALE OF THE VEHICLE WITH THIS SAFETY DEFECT IS IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION WITH THE STOP DELIVERY ORDER (DCS 3238) ISSUED BY GM ON MAY 18TH, 2014. *TR

ON FOUR OCCASIONS I HAVE LOST BRAKES WHILE DESCENDING A HILL. THE BRAKE PEDDLE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. ONLY AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES DOES PRESSURE RETURN AND THE CAR SLOWS. THE DEALER INDICATES THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND CONTINUES TO DENY THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO INDICATE ACCURATE FUEL READING LEVELS CAUSING THE CONTACT TO HAVE AN EMPTY FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,146 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,160.

FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IT WAS NOTED THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAS CLOUDY CIRCLES IN IT WHICH ARE VERY PRONOUNCED ESPECIALLY UNDER SUNNY CONDITIONS. THIS COULD LEAD TO VISIBILITY PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY DURING A REVERSE BACK UP PROCEDURE AND COULD CREATE A HAZARD IN DOING SO. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTED ON OTHER 2014 TRAVERSE VEHICLES ON THE DEALER'S LOT. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW IS FOGGY AND COULD CAUSE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS IN A BACKING UP PROCEDURE. *TR

RADIO WILL GO TO A BLANK SCREEN CAUSING LOSS OF BLUETOOTH FUNCTIONS AND FORCING THE DRIVER TO USE HIS OR HER CELL PHONE WHICH IS NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE, DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THE SYSTEM BACK ON UNTIL IT DECIDES TO DO IT ON ITS OWN. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE; THE BRAKES & RADIO. THE RADIO SCREEN BECOMES BLACK OFF & ON. THE MAJOR ISSUE ARE THE BRAKES. THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY HAS REPLACED THE BOOSTER. THIS IS NOW MY FIFTH TIME TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER. WHEN YOU PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKES IT RELEASES AIR & THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO HAVE NO CUSHION. IT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN!!! I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR A COUPLE OF MONTHS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 583. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 656.

SERVICE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD : SERVICE ALL WHEEL DRIVE. I TOOK MY NEW CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMPUTER "GLITCH" THAT GM APPARENTLY "WAS AWARE OF". THIS COULD BE BIGGER THAN IT SEEMS AND WARRANTS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. *TR
