2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

POWER STEERING ISSUES: VERY HARD TO TURN WHEEL WHEN PARKING AND AT SLOW SPEED. IT IS LIKE MANUAL STEERING!! I HAVE A SMALL FLUID LEAK AT POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK PINION BOOT. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND ITS COMMON. I THEN CONTACTED CHEVY WHO ADMITS THIS A COMMON ISSUE BUT YET AN RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUE !! WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG? HELP !!

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND SOMETIMES KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM DEALERSHIP MY VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL, WHEN I GIVE IT SOME THROTTLE I HEARD THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE MAKING A FUNNY NOISE LIKE A GRINDING/JUMPING/POPPING NOISE AND MY TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOL COMES ON MY DASH ITS LOUD ENOUGH THAT EVERYBODY INSIDE AND OUTSIDE MY SUV CAN HEAR IT ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M TURNING WHEN ITS WET OR SNOWY OUT. MY HEAT AND AC TAKE HALF HOUR TO START WORKING ABOUT 70% AND I HAD IT CHECKED, IT'S NOT MY THERMOSTAT OR IT ALSO DOESN'T NEED TO BE FLUSH OR RECHARGED BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD IT CHECKED THIS IS HOW IT WAS SINCE I'VE PURCHASED IT. AND MY DRIVERS DOOR LOCK, LOCKS AND UNLOCKS WHENEVER IT WANTS TO I ABOUT 95% OF THE TIME HAVE TO DO IT MANUALLY. I HAD IT CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND BY A DIFFERENT MECHANIC AND NOBODY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. ALL FOUR DOORS ALWAYS SQUEAKING AND I'VE BEEN PUTTING GREASE EVERY FEW WEEKS TO MONTH PLUS I SEE THAT THERE BEARINGS LOOKED LIKE THEY BECOMING SHOT AND NOW MY DOORS SEEMED TO LOOK LIKE THEY STARTING SAG. I'M JUST TIRED OF PAYING MECHANICS TO TAKE A LOOK AND CAN'T FIX MY ISSUES.1

TAKATA RECALL, MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS. SOMETIMES IT WITH COME ON AND STAY ON FOR DAYS TO MONTHS AT A TIME, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM. I PAID FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND FOR THEM TO FIX IT AND IT STOOD OFF FOR A FEW WEEKS AND CAME BACK ON AND WHEN I CALLED AND TOLD THEM THAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON THEY TO ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET A 3RD DIAGNOSTIC AND FOR ME TO PAID AGAIN I REFUSED AND I AM JUST DEALING WITH THE LIGHT COMING AND GOING OFF ON ITS OWN. I HAVE TO HOLD MY KEY IN THE IGNITION IN THE FORWARD POSITION BEING CRANKED FOR ABOUT 4-5SEC JUST FOR MY SUV TO TURN ON AND ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHY AND THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER AND JUST SHRUGGED THERE SHOULDERS WITH NO ANSWERS. AND WHEN I PUT MY GIVE MY SUV A LITTLE BIT OF THROTTLE IT HESITATES A BIT AND WHEN I HAPPEN TO FLOOR IT BEING STUCK IN THE SNOW IT STUDDER AND HESITATED FOR ABOUT A SEC OR TWO BEFORE IT REACTED

TAKATA RECALL, IT CUTS OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING TWICE , IT SHUTS OFF WITH OUT ANY NOTICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A LOWER POWER MODE AND DECELERATED TO A VERY SLOW SPEED. SONS CHEVROLET (3615 MANCHESTER EXPY, COLUMBUS, GA 31909, (706) 322-8888) DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE MAY BE FAULTY AND REPLACED THE FUSE BLOCK. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND SUGGESTED THE CONTACT FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO THOSE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V614000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,548.

THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING WENT INTO REDUCED POWER MODE AND WOULD NOT LET ME GO PAST 30 MILES AN HOUR. IT THEN FLASHED REDUCED POWER, STABLE TRACK, AND TRACTION CONTROL. VERY UNSAFE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN DRIVING AND ON A BUSY STREET TO JUST LOSE POWER.

MY WINDOW ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND THE REAR BACK WILL NOT WORK WHEN OPERATED FROM DRIVER WINDOW PANEL. I ALSO HAVE A WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD THAT READS "SERVICE AIR BAG." I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE ON DAY IN THE SUMMER WHEN I NOTICED IT AND IT HASN'T WENT AWAY SINCE.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS RECALLED AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED. HOWEVER, IT BEGAN GOING ON AND OFF AGAIN AND WAS FIXED IN JUNE OF 2017 AT CHEVY DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, IT IS AGAIN TURNING OFF AND ON AGAIN. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED BUT I AM AFRAID IF THERE IS ONE THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY.

TOOK MY TRAVERSE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I NEEDED NEW TIRES DUE TO DRY ROT. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. IT STATED TO THEM THAT I COULD HEAR A GROWLING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING GEAR WAS LEAKING AT THE RIGHT FRONT BOOT. THE TOTAL COST TO REPAIR $1700.00. NO RECALL ON THIS IMPORTANT PART OF THE TRAVERSE OR ANY ALERTS OR BULLETINS ON THIS MATTER SO THE COST NEEDS TO BE FOOTED BY THE CUSTOMER. AS THE NOISE HAS INCREASED AND NOW HAPPENS WHETHER TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AND I HAVE BECOME VERY CONCERN WITH MY WELLBEING AND THE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR, I HAVE ORDERED THE REPAIRS TO BE PERFORMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAD TO PAY UPFRONT FOR THE PART AS IT IS NOT A STOCK ITEM. CONSUMER SAFETY SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY FOR GM. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BECOME A STRATEGIC TO GET THERE ATTENTION. I HAVE OWN MANY CHEVROLET CARS AND SO HAVE MANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS GOING BACK 3 GENERATIONS. TOO MANY FOREIGN MADE CARS ON THE ROADS TODAY. GM WAKE UP!
