2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS RESET ERRATICALLY AFTER UNLOCKING WITH KEY FOB. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES. I HAVE REPLACED THE MIRROR TWICE ONCE AT MY EXPENSE AND ONCE BY DEALER. THE DEALER HAS PROGRAMMED THE KEY FOB. EVERY ONE OF THESE WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE THE ISSUE BUT NONE DID. WHEN BACKING IN THE DARK THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOUR MIRRORS ARE REALLY LOOKING.

THE TRUNK DOOR CLOSED DOWN ON ME AND THE SENSOR DID NOT SEND A SIGNAL TO MAKE THE DOOR GO BACK UP. I WAS PINNED DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AND HAD TO PULL MYSELF OUT VERY QUICKLY, BUT NOT WITHOUT MINOR INJURY TO THE BACK OF MY LEFT ARM. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON AND IN PARK, IN A PARKING LOT. I WAS UNABLE TO POP THE TRUNK, WHEN MY HUSBAND PRESSED THE BUTTON TO MAKE IT AUTOMATICALLY GO UP. THAT'S WHEN, AFTER LEANING INSIDE THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED TO GO BACK DOWN AND DID NOT STOP WHEN THE DOOR TOUCHED ME.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITH COMPLETE POWER LOSS. FAILS TO CRANK OR TURN ON. HAD STARTER REPLACED AND CONTINUES TO DO SAME THING.

WHEN I TURN FROM A STOP IT'S LIKE I DON'T HAVE ANY POWER STEERING AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEELS. IT'S HAPPENED OFTEN BUT GETTING WORSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BOUCHER CHEVROLET (1421 E MORELAND BLVD, WAUKESHA, WI 53186) WHO STATED THAT THE CLUTCH WAVE PLATES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE TO BE INCLUDED IN SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 14404A (TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAVE PLATE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY TRAVERSE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO COAST TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD AND THEN PUSH IT INTO A PARKING LOT. WHILE DRIVING THE LIGHTS SEEMED TO GO DIM AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF! . THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE TIMING CHAIN WENT AND WHEN IT DID IT BASICALLY BLEW THE ENGINE. A NEW ENGINE COST MORE THEN WHAT I OWE ON THE CAR. AFTER CALLING AROUND I FOUND OUT THAT MECHANICS DO NOT LIKE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IN THE TRAVERSE BECAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. MY MILEAGE IS ABOUT 140,000. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT. I WAS TOLD THEY DO HAVE A 'SPECIAL WARRANTY ON THE TIMING CHAIN HOWEVER IT'S ONLY UP TO 120,000 MILES AND I AM 20,000 OVER THE SPECIAL WARRANTY. IF ENGINE DIES COMPLETELY AT 70MPH ON FREEWAY A BAD WRECK CAN HAPPEN THIS IS UNSAFE AND CHEVROLET SHOULD REPLACE THESE ENGINES.

WHEN YOU STOP UP A UPGRADE TO THE LIGHT, THE CAR ROLLS BACK.I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS THEN RELEASE THE BRAKES.I NEVER HAD THIS TO HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER CAR WE HAD.IT KIND OF SCARE ME, BECAUSE I ALMOST ROLL BACK IN ANOTHER CAR. THE OTHER SITUATION IS THE PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T RELEASE LIKE IT SUPPOSE TO.I SAW A RECALL ON SOME TRAVERSE, BUT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ONE.I NEED THIS TO WORK PROPERLY , BECAUSE THESE SUVS' THEN BE HARD TO PUT IN GEAR ON SLIGHT INCLINES

POWER STEERING IS VERY HARD TO TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS I HAVE CHECKED POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT'S FULL I'M VERY AFRAID THIS MAY CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL IF IT WOULD HAPPEN GOING DOWN THE HWY PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN I DO.
