2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

STABILITRAK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL. SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS MANY OF THE WINDOWS, ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT AND STABILITRAK COMES ON, ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THERE IS LOSS OF POWER THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECOND, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.

LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING THOUGH INTERSECTION. P0008 SET. TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 93000MI. GM CUSTOMER SATISFACTION #10287 FOR 10 YEARS / 120K MI APPLIES ONLY FOR 2009 MODEL YEAR BUT HAS SAME LLT ENGINE.

CHECK ENGINE IS ON. TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM AND THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING QUITE OFTEN WITH THE TRAVERSE. TIME FOR A RECALL

TIMING CHANGE REPLACED 06/26/2017 COST ME 2505.34 DOLLARS ONLY HAD 72896 MILES ALL I GOT FROM GM WAS SORRY THINGS DO WARE OUT CASE NUMBER #[XXX] LIGHT CAME ON WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

MY TIMING CHAIN IS GOING BAD WITH ONLY 104,000 MILES. TO FIX WILL REQUIRE A NEW ENGINE.

TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD SOME SORT OF ISSUE WHERE IT SHUTS OFF THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM, THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND ALSO TRIGGERS THE BRAKE ALARM AND SAYS SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE AND AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF FOR AWHILE AND RESTARTING IT, THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THE INCIDENCES HAVE OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS AND SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND IS THROWING DTC CODE P0008 WHICH IS CAUSED BY PREMATURE WEAR OF THE TIMING CHAIN(S). THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND IN FACT THE SAME ENGINE HAS A "SPECIAL WARRANTY" ON THE 2009 TRAVERSE AND SEVERAL OTHER LAMBDA PLATFORM VEHICLES PRIOR TO 2010. THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE. THE SPECIAL WARRANTY CURRENTLY IN PLACE ON THE OLDER MODELS IS 11340-C. THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE ENGINE AND STRAND THE VEHICLE - POSSIBLY IN A DANGEROUS PLACE WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO MOVE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CHEVROLET OF NAPERVILLE (1515 W OGDEN AVE, NAPERVILLE, IL 60540, (630) 324-0750), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE STILL COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WARRANTIES ON THE VEHICLE WERE EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WAS FINE UNTIL I MADE A U-TURN AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. TH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $300 TO FIX. I PAID AND HAD IT FIXED THEN NOW TWO YEARS LATER , I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND IT STARTED LOSING GAS AND SLOWING DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. I TOOK TO MECHANIC AND IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN AGAIN!!!!! I HEARD THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL???? I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX SO IT'S JUST SITING IN MY BACK YARD!!!!

JUST BOUGHT 2010 TRAVERSE W/204XXX MILES. POWER STEERING PUMP STARTED LEAKING AT 205XXX. VEHICLE WAS OPERATING FINE. NO LEAKS, NO NOISES OR VIBRATIONS OR ANYTHING. DRIVE 15 MILES FROM HOME 1 DAY AND AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY, I NOTICED STIFF STEERING AND WHINING/GROANING WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL. PROBLEM CAME ON SO QUICKLY. VEHICLE DIDN'T WANT TO TURN AND ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED UNDER HOOD AND UNDER VEHICLE AND NOTICED I WAS SUDDENLY LEAKING STEERING FLUID VERY QUICKLY FROM PUMP. TOOK TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I HAVE A BAD STEERING PUMP. THEY RECOMMENDED I REPORT THIS ISSUE AS THEY NOTICED THAT THIS PUMP HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES RELATING TO MY MODEL YEAR AND SIMILAR MODELS REGARDING FAULTY STEERING SYSTEMS. UPON MY RESEARCH, I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS BLOGS AND POSTS FROM OTHER OWNERS VERIFYING THIS ISSUE. MILEAGE ON OTHER MODELS WAS 8XXX AND UP. WITH KIDS IN MY VEHICLE ALL THE TIME, THIS MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS ABOUT CURRENT SAFETY REGULATIONS AND RECALLS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I SEEM TO BE AMONG NUMEROUS OWNERS HAVING THIS ISSUE REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE MILEAGE
