AIR BAGS

13 complaints

The "Service Airbag" light and notification comes up on the dash. This happened in the past as this vehicle was part of a recall NHTSA 14V118. The car was service for that recall already back on 3-18-2014 but the issue came back. This is dangerous because when that light is on, the airbags will not go off in the event of an accident. I need this fixed at no charge. Thank you.

Although the recall was done , few years ago by the dealer ? RCRIT-14V118-2797 But it is getting worse than before , the massage SERVICE AIR BAG KEEP APPEARING ?

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT SAY "SERVICE AIRBAG" AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT BY THE DEALER, THEY SAY IT MAYBE A SHORT IN A WIRE BUT THEIR COMPUTER IS NOT PICKING IT UP. IT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER 2019 BUT IT USUALLY GO OUT BUT THIS TIME IT HAS STAYED ON AD WILL NOT GO OUT. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS SAFE IF I'M INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. EACH TIME I START MY VEHICLE, WHILE I'M DRIVING, PARKED, ETC., THIS WARNING LIGHT NEVER GO OFF

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DRIVERS SEAT IS MOVED BACK AND FORTH. TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO BACK OFF I HAVE TO WIGGLE THE WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT.

CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY HAVE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING. THE CAR WOULD GO INTO LIMP MODE BUT DRIVABLE ENOUGH TO GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED ALL THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON BUT THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED. THE CAR DRIFTED TO A STOP RIGHT OUT OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE BUT WE WERE STILL UNABLE TO GET COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD. WOULD NOT RESTART. COPS CAME BECAUSE WE WERE BLOCKING TRAFFIC UNTIL A TOW TRUCK COULD ARRIVE. THANKFULLY OTHER CARS WERE ALREADY SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE. IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE WRONG LOCATION WERE YOU CAN'T GET OFF THE ROAD IT COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE FUSE BLOCK AND TERMINAL 51 HAD CORROSION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT WAS DEFINITELY THE PROBLEM AND I NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH.

STREERING HARD AT LOW RMP. HARD TO STEER

Aug 13, 2020

I HAVE A 2013 TRAVERSE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM IT HAS DONE THIS A FEW TIMES NOW WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL, THE LATEST WAS TODAY WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY LOCAL GAS STATION IN TO ON COMING TRAFFIC THE STEERING JUST QUIT HAD A HELL OF A TIME TRYING TO KEEP MY CAR INTO MY LANE. MY SUV IS IN PERFECT CONDITION I TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. HAS ANYONE HEARD OF ANY POSSIBLE RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? I HOPE CHEVY DOES SOMETHING SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THIS SUV IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED STEERING PROBLEM WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. JIM

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 !!

Feb 05, 2019

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!

Jul 13, 2023

the transmission is not working properly and needs to be replaced. It is a known issue, but GM will not address it. It is a wave plate in the transmission which failed.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL WHILE CHANGING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAFE CHEVROLET GMC (407 FAIRWINDS ST, HALLETTSVILLE, TX) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.

I WANT TO REPORT A VERY DANGEROUS AND SAFETY HAZARD THAT WE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED WITH OUR 2013 LTZ TRAVERSE. ON JULY 23,2017 MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 80. DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE GOING 70 MPH. ALL OF THE SUDDEN BELLS WERE RINGING AND DASHBOARD ALERTS LIT UP. (TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED) OUR SPEED WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 10 MPH IN SECONDS. THE TRAFFIC BEHIND US WERE SERVING ALL AROUND US TO AVOID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WE WERE LUCKY NO ONE WAS KILLED. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD INTO A TRUCK WEIGH STATION. OUR TRAVERSE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVY DEALER IN FRANKFORT, IL. LOW AND BEHOLD THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL OR THE STABILITRAK. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CODES WERE FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND SENSOR. THE ECM SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE THREE PROBLEMS ROUTED TOGETHER. THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF ALERT FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP BEFORE IT IS A PROBLEM AND THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED SHOULD NEVER BE USED. PLEASE GET THIS FIXED BEFORE THERE ARE MAJOR FATALITIES!

This had occurred more than 4 times. I was at the stop light, when the light turned turned I proceeded to press on the gas pedal and my vehicle started to shake/vibrate. Then the transmission light turned followed by the advanced traffic control light and low engine power. I was unable to go past 10mph..I drive my vehicle on the freeway/highway everyday for work and my children are always with. This makes it very unsafe for me and my family because I don't know when this issue will happen. I have taken it 2 times to the transmission specialist and mechanic but the codes do not always appear only when this issues occurs.

We were on a trip to Kansas from Wisconsin and the check engine light went on StabiliTrak warning came on. The vehicle then cut speed from 70 to 30 mph we had to ride the shoulder for 5 mi to the nearest truck stop to investigate issue we had to purchase an OBD tester and code 1682 came up. After doing reviews at the truck stop I clean the throttle body put it back together I also had to replace the purge valve canister which then got us another 10 mi down the road before the same code popped up. Got the car back home after it going off several more times nearly killing us multiple times on the interstate having to pull to the side of the shoulder to avoid traffic. Did more research only to find out that thousands of other people have had the same issue. This could cost thousands of dollars replacing parts attached to this code only to find out that it's a bad contact in the fuse box under the hood. What will it take multiple people dying from this issue. It doesn't seem like anything has been taken care of on the GM side of things. Please let me know if the dealership will pay for this or if I have to pay for this out of my own pocket as this is a known issue. Thank you. The car has since been parked in the garage and I have been trying to connect the dots through traverse forums this car is no longer safe to drive and we cannot afford to take it to a dealership at this time.

My 2013 Chevy Traverse LT began Very ruff Idling, Battery Charging system, Traction control, Stabilitytrak, and Check engine lights would come on. Smoke coming from engine area. Had Vehicle towed to dealer. The same day I got it back had the same problem. The truck cuts off while driving down the street almost creating multiple accidents. The first time this happened, I was on the expressway driving about 60 MPH when the traction control light came on, the truck reduced power and completely cut off while driving. An 18 wheeler truck that had slam on breaks to keep from rear ending me. This most recent time this issue came about, While driving on a city street, suddenly the truck did the ruff idol and cut off while driving. I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler again. Thank god these 18 wheeler truck drivers had the skills to make it around me. I am so scared to drive the truck. At this point i want to get rid of it but I'm scared someone else may get my truck and have an even worse outcome. I have had this issue so many times that I fear this will happen in a even more dangerous spot and this truck will get me killed in a really bad accident. I am Highly recommending that GM or someone look into removing this truck from the roadways of America as this is hazardous to all drivers driving safely down the road. My truck is currently being looked at by the dealer and GM. I am not looking to drive this vehicle ever again. Some of the issues has been: Code P0107 map sensor Alternator began smoking Stability Trak dashboard lights come on and engine looses power Traction control light comes on and truck cuts off battery charging system light comes ruff idol and truck cuts off Under hood Fuse box will short out and cause multiple electrical issues Purge Valve broken Power steering hose went bad Coolant hose connector broke 2 times in the same spot Please look into this issue with this model, this is very unsafe and dangerous for the road.

Fire: 1

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, 2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE LS ON 5/6/2030, A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, I BROUGHT IT BACK THREE TIMES TO SUN USED CARS, ALL WITHIN MY WARRANTY PERIOD AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO NOW THEY WILL NO LONGER FIX THE VEHICLE, AND I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH IT SLIPPING. I THINK IT MAY BE ELECTRICAL BECAUSE WHEN IT WON'T SHIFT AND YOU TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IT WILL SHIFT GEARS. THERE IS ALSO 4 AIR BAG SENSORS THAT ARE SHOWING UP AS AN ISSUE THAT STARTED AFTER THE RELAY SWITCH FOR THE LOCKS WERE FIXED.

Nov 21, 2020

WHEN VEHICLE IS ACCELLERATED FROM A STILL POSITION, AND ACCELERATED TO GET UP TO SPEED, VEHICLE ENGINE HAS A CONSTANT JERKING THAT VIBRATES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND ONCE UP TO ROAD OR HIGHWAY SPEED, AND MAINTAINS A CONSTANT MPH, THE SHAKING STOPS. WHEN ACCELERATING AGAIN,VEHICLE DOES THE SAME THING; JERKING / SHAKING UNTIL LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND LEVELING OUT AT A CERTAIN MPH.. AIR CONDITIONER IS CONSTANTLY 'GOING OUT' DURING THE SUMMER, BLOWING ONLY HOT AIR, THEN AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, AND SOME TIME GOES BY, SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER SYSTEM MUST RESET ITSELF BECAUSE THE A/C WILL START WORKING FINE ONCE VEHICLE IS TURNED BACK IN.

WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR JERKED A FEW TIMES. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DINGING STARTED AND THE CAR STATED TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITRAK OFF THEN SAID SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, LOW ENGINE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN TURNED ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER SO MANY MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC BUT WAS ORIGINALLY DRIVING GOING 55 MPH ON A MAIN ROAD.

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

Jan 31, 2019

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR STARTS ALARMING AND I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TRACTION CONTROL OFF. THIS CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND I HAVE VERY LITTLE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW. I USE THIS AS A FAMILY CAR, HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT A CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS A SENSOR IN THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL YET? CHEVY SHOULD BE FIXING THIS, MY FAMILY AND I COULD BE IN DANGER, I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE GAS PEDAL AND SEE IF THE ISSUE PERSISTS, HOWEVER IF IT DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM CAR AGAIN.

ENGINE LOSS. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, IN SLOW LANE GOING TO EXIT, WHEN WE LOST STABILITY, TRACTION, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TILL THERE WAS NO POWER. GOT IN A PARKING LOT, BY SLOWLY ROLLING DOWN HILL, THANK GOODNESS. WOULDN'T START BACK UP. WE WENT AND ATE, WHEN WE CAME BACK IT STARTED AGAIN LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. GOING TO WORK LAST WEEK, SAME THING. AT LEAST I HAD GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS NO WARNING YOU LOOSE POWER. GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED.

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT I AM FILING, I HAVE A 2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH FORTERA HL P255/65R18 109 TIRES, THE FIRST SET HAD MAJOR CRACKING THAT RAN ALONG THE INSIDE FIRST RIB AND LAST OUTSIDE RIB ALONG THE TREAD, WITH CRACKS THAT RAN HORIZONTAL TO THE WEAR INDICATORS, THE LAST TIME I CHECK THE CRACKS WAS ABOUT 4 MM LONG, THIS AFFECTED ALL FOUR TIRES. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GOODYEAR MADE IT CLEAR AFTER TWO WEEKS THE ISSUE WE HAD WAS FROM "OZONE CRACKING" EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES ONLY HAD 22,000 PLUS MILES ON THEM AND REFUSED TO REPLACE UNDER THE RECALL, INSTEAD CHARGING ME A $389.00 PRORATED FEE FOR NEW TIRES OF THE EXACT SIZE, NAME AND QUALITY. ON 02 JULY, WHILE OUT MAKING PAYMENTS AND BUYING FOOD I NOTICED A VERY STRONG RUBBER SMELL, I CAME HOME AND THE SMELL HAD INCREASED TO THAT OF A RUBBER BURNING SMELL, I TOUCHED THE TIRES AND THEY WAS SO HOT I COULD NOT LEAVE MY HAND ON THE TREAD. I NOTICED THAT ONE TIRE HAD/HAS A BLUE GREEN COLOR TO IT FROM THE RIM TO THE MIDDLE JUST BELOW THE WORDS GOODYEAR, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE WHAT LOOKS LIKE WEAR FROM THE TREAD LINE DOWN TO JUST BELOW THE WORDS GOODYEAR WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE THE TIRE IS RIDING ON THE ROAD ON THE SIDE WALL, OR AS I DESCRIBED IT TO BOTH GOODYEAR AND THE DEALERSHIP IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE RAN AGAINST A CURB, OF WHICH WE HAVE NO CURBS IN OUR BLOCK. THESE TIRES ALSO DO NOT MAINTAIN AIR PRESSURE,

IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS MY 2013 CHEV TRAVERSE HAS HAD THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS. IT HAS HAPPENED GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND 30 MPH ON CITY STREETS. USUALLY I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURN OFF THE ENGINE FOR A MINUTE THEN THE CAR WILL START AND OPERATE AS NORMAL FOR A FEW DAYS OR A FEW WEEKS. IN THE PAST MONTH I HAVE BEEN IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE TOTALLY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO AVOID A TRACTOR TRAILER IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. AFTER THE CAR SAT IDLE FOR A DAY IT STARTED UP. CODES WERE CLEARED AND IT RAN NORMALLY AGAIN FOR WEEKS. LAST WEEK WHILE TRAVELING AT 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING, BUT STILL IMPACTING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. A LOCAL POLICE OFFICER HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR FURTHER OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SIDEWALK. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. 24 HOURS LATER THE CAR STARTED OK. CODES WERE CLEARED AND IT ONCE AGAIN COULD OPERATE NORMALLY. MY MECHANIC CONSULTED TO A GM MECHANIC AND THEY AGREED THE PROBLEM IS THE IGNITION SWITCH. MY TRAVERSE HAS NOT HAD A RECALL FOR IGNITION SWITCH REPLACEMENT. I AM AWARE THAT GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS HAVE KILLED OVER (100) GM VEHICLE OWNERS. MILLIONS OF GM CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED BY REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH, IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND IGNITION KEY. MANY MORE GM VEHICLES LIKE MY 2013 CHEV TRAVERSE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED OR MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE. IN FACT MY GUESS IS HUNDREDS OF ADDITIONAL DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS HAVE DIED AND THE PROBLEM IGNITION SWITCH WAS NOT BLAMED FOR THESE ADDITIONAL DEATHS.

Mar 18, 2020

WHILE DRIVING, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, LOSS OF POWER CAME ON, AND STABILITY TRACTION TURNED OFF. MY SPEED REDUCED FROM 40 TO 25. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND NOW ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

Feb 07, 2020

OUR TRAVERSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM MAINLY ON THE HIGHWAY BUT IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON OUR GRAVEL ROAD GOING 30 MPH. THE TRAVERSE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN DISPLAY "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, IT WILL SAY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF." DURING ONE OF THE TIMES, IT HAPPENED THE STEERING COLUMN ALSO LOCKED UP. THE ENGINE SHAKES ENOUGH THAT IT MAKES THE MUFFLER SHAKE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY FOUND A MEMO FROM GM ON HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE JUST SPENT $690 TO GET A NEW FUSE BLOCK AND TERMINAL INSTALLED. SUPPOSEDLY THERE HAD BEEN WATER DAMAGE/CORROSION. OUR TRAVERSE HAS NEVER BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CHEVROLET NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. HAVING OUR VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN REDUCE POWER HAS LEAD TO SEVERAL ALMOST ACCIDENTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE STEERING ALSO LOCKED. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY SIMILAR TO A PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN RECALL 14515 WHICH DID INCLUDE 2009-2014 TRAVERSES. ACCORDING TO CHEVROLET MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. I THINK THIS ISSUE IS SIMILAR TO THE RECALL BUT DIFFERENT.

Jun 17, 2019

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR IN 2017 IT'S BEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUES. I HAVE A 2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING OFTEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR WILL LOSE ENGINE POWER AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SHUTS OFF AND THE CAR STARTS SHAKING. I THEN PULL OVER AND WAIT A FEW MINS AND IT STARTS BACK UP. BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO BE TOLD IT MIGHT BE THE FUSE BOX BUT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO ITS GONNA COST $600. ALL OVER THE CAR SITES ONLINE PEOPLE REPORTING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH FUSE BOXES FROM 2009-2014 TRAVERSE. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED????? I HAVE 3 SMALL KIDS AND I AM TERRIFIED TO PUT THEM IN THE CAR AND IT'S NOT WORTH IT FINANCIALLY TO TRADE IT NOR AN OPTION AT THIS POINT. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM. TODAY IT WOULDN'T START BACK UP AND HAD TO BE TOWED. WAS DOING 70MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC!!!!

Jun 14, 2019

ON ALL OCCASIONS, MY CAR WAS IN MOTION ON MAJOR CITY STREETS AND SIDE ROADS AND MY DRIVING SPEEDS RANGED FROM 25MPH TO 55MPH. THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES FLASH ACROSS THE DASHBOARD: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH THE STABILITRAK ICON. MY SPEED WAS THROWN DOWN TO THE RANGE OF 10MPH TO 40MPH. THE ENTIRE CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND THE EXHAUST PIPE WAS GIVING LOUD "PUFFING" SOUNDS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE THIRD TIME, I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. AFTER HAVING IT FOR A MONTH, THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE, THEREFORE NOTHING WAS FIXED, AND I WAS TOLD "LET US KNOW IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN." WOW! ...AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN MONTHS LATER - AGAIN THREE SEPARATE TIMES! AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY RECEIVED NO "ERROR MESSAGES" FOR THAT ISSUE, ONLY FOR MY CAR ALARM BEING FAULTY. GOOD GRIEF! HAD I BEEN ON A FREEWAY DURING ONE OF THESE OCCURRENCES, I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED AND INTO A BAD ACCIDENT; BUT "WE'LL JUST SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN!" I OFFERED THE DEALERSHIP VIDEO AND PICTURES AS PROOF OF THE ISSUE, BUT NOTHING HAS YET BEEN DONE. I HAVE A VIDEO THAT LASTS 1MIN AND 11 SECONDS, BUT ITS TOO LARGE FOR ME TO UPLOAD (EVEN WHEN I SHORTEN IT DOWN TO A MINIMUM 25SECONDS TO GET THE GIST OF THE ISSUE).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70MPH AND IT FELT LIKE MY CHEVY TRAVERSE LOST POWER WITH NO OTHER SYMPTOMS OR SOUNDS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS UP TO DATE. THE CAR WAS OFFICIALLY IN "LIMP MODE" WITH ONLY BEING ABLE TO TRAVEL AT 20-30 MPH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. REDUCED POWER, SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME. AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, FUEL RAIL, FRONT TIMING COVER AND ENGINE OIL PAN GASKET WERE ALL THE RECOMMENDED PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT. ALL OF WHICH WAS RELATED TO THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP.

Mar 03, 2019

THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED FLUCTUATING AT FIRST AFTER GOING FROM DRIVE TO PARK. THE FUEL GAUGE READING WOULD BE OFF ANYWHERE FROM 1/8 TO 1/4 OF A TANK. THE FIRST PROBLEMS WERE THE GAUGE UNDERCOMPENSATING FOR THE ACTUAL FUEL IN THE TANK, THEN OVERCOMPENSATING, NOW IT GOES BACK AND FORTH. NOW THE PROBLEM IS NO LONGER LIMITED TO WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK, I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT IS AN ONGOING DAILY PROBLEM

HI THERE; I AM TALL - ABOUT 6' 5". THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS, DO NOT FULLY CROSS MY SHOULDER, RATHER THEY ARE CROSSING MY "OUTER" SHOULDER/UPPER ARM. THE "B" PILLAR IS ALMOST FORWARD OF ME. THE SEAT-BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT IS FULLY RAISED. I FEEL QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE AND WONDER IF THIS SHOULD BE A CONCERN TO ME (I THINK IT IS!) IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION; I FEEL THAT IN A SUDDEN STOP, LET ALONE A SIDE-IMPACT, I MAY AS WELL HAVE A LAP BELT ONLY!! PLEASE TELL ME I AM IMAGINING THIS AND THAT NHTSA HAS APPROVED THIS CONFIGURATION!! THANKS. *TR

2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE W/ 126K MILES: WHILE DRIVING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF. EVERYTHING WENT BLACK, AND I COULDN'T DEPRESS BRAKES, OR TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER. WITHIN 20 SEC THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A GAS STATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, PARK ASSIST OFF, ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND SERVICE STABILITRAK ALL CAME ON. WHEN I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY, OR PULLED FUSES TO RESET ECM, THE CAR WOULD START JUST FINE. THOUGH IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN ANOTHER 20 MILE OR SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE A DAY OR TWO, BUT WOULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY TWO CHEVY DEALERSHIPS THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, BUT APPARENTLY THER IS SOMETHING WRONG AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND ADDRESS BEFORE DEATHS OCCUR BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY POSTS AND FORUMS ABOUT THIS SITUATION FROM OTHER TRAVERSE OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR.

2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE W/ 120K MILES: WHILE DRIVING 75MPH ON THE FREEWAY THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF. EVERYTHING WENT BLACK, AND I COULDN'T DEPRESS BRAKES, OR TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER. I PANICKED AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD. UNACCEPTABLE! WITHIN MINUTES THE CAR CAME BACK AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A GAS STATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE, PARK ASSIST OFF, AND STABILITY CONTROL SERVICE ALL CAME ON. PULLED CODES AND THEY WERE ALL TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE CODES. WHEN I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY, THE CAR WOULD START JUST FINE BUT WOULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM IF I DRIVE IT BEYOND A MILE. WAS TOLD THE TRANNY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ($3000). I HAD MY UNCLE, A 25+YEAR EXPERIENCED MECHANIC, LOOK AT IT AND SAID THE TRANNY WAS FINE AND BELIEVES IT IS ELECTRICAL AND ONE OF THE CONTROL MODULES MUST NOT BE COMMUNICATING PROPERLY. HIS EXACT WORDS WERE 'THIS CAR IS POSSESSED, IT IS DOING THE WEIRDEST STUFF'. IT CAN'T BE THE TRANNY BECAUSE IF IT WERE IT WOULDN'T JUST COME BACK TO LIFE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT REPAIR. THERE ARE A PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE CONCERNING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE, YET NO RECALL OR INVESTIGATION WHATSOEVER. WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR TWICE IN 4 MONTHS AS WELL DUE TO FAILURE. VOLTAGE GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY JUMPING FROM 12V TO 16V. THE REAR CONTROLS TO THE A/C DIALS ARE EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH AS WELL. IT'S VERY STRANGE. EVERY MECHANIC FRIEND THAT HAS WORKED ON IT SAYS 'GET RID OF IT BECAUSE THEY'RE THE WORST CARS' AND THEY SEE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. CONVENIENTLY, IT HAPPENS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. UNFORTUNATELY WE STILL OWE 15K ON IT. SHAME ON GM FOR IGNORING THESE MAJOR ISSUES FOR THE SAKE OF DOING MAJOR REPAIRS ON SO MANY AFFECTED VEHICLES.

CAR TURNED ITSELF OFF WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. TRAVERSE RANDOMLY SWITCHES BETWEEN CD AND RADIO BY ITSELF. TRACTION CONTROL WARNING SOUNDS RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES WHEN KEY IS TURNED OFF ALL GOES BLACK ON DASH WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO ANY OF THIS. ALWAYS TOTALLY RANDOM. I HAVE STARTED PRESSING RECORD ON MY PHONE BEFORE EVERY TIME I START MY CAR FOR THE POSSIBILITY THAT I WILL CATCH ONE OF THE RANDOM INSTANCES ON CAMERA. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED MY RADIO FOCUSING ON IT AND IGNORING MY TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE AND POWER LOSS. SINCE THESE ISSUES CANNOT BE TRIGGERED AND ARE COMPLETELY RANDOM I HAD TO CATCH MY RADIO FREEZING UP ON VIDEO TO GET DEALER TO BELIEVE MY ACCUSATIONS. MY CAR HAS BEEN "REPROGRAMMED" TWICE, NEW RADIO INSTALLED, REPAIRED INFORMATION BUTTONS ONCE, THEN INFORMATION BUTTONS REPLACED AND EACH TIME TELLING ME THAT ITS ALL FIXED NOW. WELL, I NOW HAVE VIDEO THAT PROVES DIFFERENTLY. SO WHEN IS THE NEXT TIME MY CAR IS GOING TO SHUT OFF? WILL MY CHILDREN BE WITH ME OR WILL IT ONLY BE A RISK OF THEM LOSING THEIR MOTHER??

AFTER DRIVING USING THE A/C DURING RAIN (LIGHT TO MEDIUM DOWNFALL) WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND THE KEY WOULD NOT MOVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE GINSENG OFF. TURNING THE KEY WAS WAS REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. TO TURN OFF ENGINE THE POSITIVE CABLE HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. ONCE THIS WAS DONE ALL FUSES WHERE CHECKED TO ENSURE NONE WHERE DAMAGED OR SHORTING. THIS IS WHEN IT WAS REALIZED THAT THE A/C VENTS WHERE LOCATED JUST ABOVE THE MAIN FUSE BOX AND THE CONDENSATION FLOODED THE BOX WITH WATER CAUSING THE IGNITION SAFETY CIRCUITS TO SHORT AND NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF.THIS WAS ALSO MADE CLEAR ONLINE WHEN DOING A SEARCH TO TRY TO SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN WITH OUT DAMAGING IT. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES AND THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION BUT STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS IS A CONCERN DUE TO THE TURNING OFF OF THE KEY BUT THE ENGINE IS STILL ON AND THE DRIVE SELECTOR CAN STILL BE MOVED INTO GEAR. THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE SHORTS TO ANY OF THE COMPONENTS IN THE MAIN FUSE PANEL OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.

WHILE EXITING A STORE PARKING LOT ONTO A CITY STREET, AT NIGHT, GOING APPROX. 40MPH , I HAD MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND MY SUV SUDDENLY LOSS POWER. IT SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, WITH OUT WARNING. LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME SEEN WHAT WAS GOING ON AND DID NOT REAR END ME. I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE UP AND IT WANTED TO TURN OVER BUT COULDN'T. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT STARTED TO SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR BEHIND ME, HELPED ME BY PUSHING MY CAR OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC INTO A PARKING LOT. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD THEM TOW MY TRUCK TO MY HOUSE SINCE THE DEALSHIP WAS ALREADY CLOSED. THE NEXT MORNING, THEY TOWED IT TO THE NEAREST CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT WITH A FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL FAILURE, AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $ 965.00 TO REPAIR. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 MONTHS, AND IT ONLY HAS, 70,000 MILES, WITH A MANUFACTURE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY STILL. SO I CALLED GM, AND COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AS MY SUV, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM/PART, BUT BECAUSE THE RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC, GM WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I PUT IN A SERVICE REQUEST AND HAVE SPOKEN TO 7 DIFFERENT PEOPLE, WITH 1 SUPERVISOR ADVISING ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO TO HELP GET IT FIXED. THAT WAS 4 DAYS AGO, NEVER HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE. I CALLED TODAY AND THE LADY I SPOKE WITH, SAID THERE WAS NO NOTES INDICATING THAT ANYONE WAS WORKING ON A SOLUTION, OR OF ANYTHING THEY PROMISED TO DO. THE ONLY THING SHE SAID WAS MY VEHICLE WASNT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. SO NOW I AM VERY UPSET, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET TO WORK BECAUSE THIS WAS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I WASN'T PROVIDED A LOANER, I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP??

General Motors is not notifying GM vehicle owners of electrical defect malfunctions that has been on-going for a number of years; leaving vehicle owners with alarming operational occurrences and unexpected repair expenses. While driving our 2013 Chevrolet Traverse fall 2021, we experienced the passenger airbag light coming on and staying on, along with the blind spot detection system lights coming on and staying on for both side mirrors. Also, the key fob wouldn’t work—manually lock and unlock the vehicle. We disconnected the negative battery terminal to reset the computers, resulting in the key fob to work and the passenger airbag light to go out. The blind spot detection system continued to malfunction so we scheduled a repair appointment with our Chevrolet dealership. Prior to the appointment, we endured a frightening experience while driving our Traverse; the entire instrument panel went out along with the radio. This electrical malfunction occurred on two separate occasions. In addition, the engine light came on and the engine temperature gage did not work properly. The dealership performed two diagnostic tests 11/5/2021 determining the engine coolant sensor malfunction and blind spot detection system modules/hardness malfunction. The dealership service manager explained other electrical malfunctions such as steering wheel movement and passenger seat movement that could occur while driving our vehicle should we continue to operate our vehicle without repairing the blind spot detection system and the need to replace both modules and the electrical harness. The video showed both modules were severely corroded. He also explained there is nothing a vehicle owner can do to prevent the corrosion because the modules are placed in the rear bumper—susceptible to moisture penetration and system malfunction. The repair costs was $1664. 11/30/2021 Customer Assistance Center stated by phone call, no action or reimbursement unless a recall is issued.

WE NOTICED AN ALERT ON OUR DASH DISPLAY SAYING SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM AND WE ASKED A MECHANIC HE SAID THE BLIND SPOT WARNING AND SIDE AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING BECAUSE OF THIS ALERT AND WE JUST ONLY BOUGHT THIS CAR LESS THAN 5 MONTHS AGO AND STUFF LIKE THIS IS FAILING

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT WARNING MY 2013 TRAVERSE STARTED TO LOOSE POWER. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND QUITE SCARY AS I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY CARS BEHIND ME AS MY VEHICLE ALMOST SLOWED DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. THE 'TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF' LLIGHT CAME ON - FOLLOWED BY THE 'STABILITRAK', 'LOSS OF ENGINE POWER' AND 'SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL'. I MADE IT TO AN HWY EXIT AT ABOUT 5 MPH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO FIND A SAFE PLACE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE MY CAR ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE AND THEN CUT OFF. I HAD TO GET A TOW TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SERVICE. THIS SUVHAS HAD A NUMBER OF ISSUES FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST ISSUE IS LOSS OF POWER DURING ACCELERATION, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONTINUED TO DISMISS. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAGS, TRANSMISSION, SEATBELTS AND POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING AND TRANSMISSION WERE RECENTLY 'REPAIRED' THIS PAST YEAR, BUT I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES WITH BOTH OF THOSE SYSTEMS.

May 01, 2019

THIS HAS NOW OCCURRED TWICE WITHIN THE PAST 30 DAYS. WHILE IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSIONS JERKS, AND SPEED IS IMMEDIATELY REDUCED TO 5MPH. THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AS DOES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. A REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS SCAN FROM ON-STAR IDENTIFIED 3 ERROR CODES: C0561, P0700, P182E. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED WHILE EXITING A HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP. THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE NO KNOW ISSUES RELATED TO THIS, NO RECALLS, AND NO SERVICE BULLETINS EXISTED DESCRIBING THIS BEHAVIOR FOR THE 2013 MODEL YEAR. THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND SLOWING FROM ~35MPH WITH TRAFFIC CLOSE BEHIND. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SYSTEM BEHAVIOR WHICH COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A SEVERE INCIDENT IN A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN THE STATE WHERE THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT IS ON WE OBSERVED HARD TRANSMISSION SHIFTING/JERKING INTO AND OUT OF PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, AND DRIVE. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR 15 MINUTES. UPON RESTARTING, NORMAL OPERATIONS WERE RESTORED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF AFTER ~25-30 MILES OF DRIVING. *TR

Service Traction Control, Traction Control Off/On/Off, Service All Wheel Drive display on dash. Check Engine Light on at times, When starting vehicle Service All Wheel Drive displays immediately.

Goes into limp mode sometimes while driving. Been to dealership, can not duplicate problems. But they see display info and no current code, do have stored code of BCM lost communication.

Rain Water is getting into the door connectors and caused some pins on passenger side to corrode. All audio in vehicle has stopped including turn signals, pack up sensor audio, and radio ect. GM/Chevy knows about this and is quite common reading in a lot of forums but GM has done nothing about it. This is a safety hazard.

Vehicle dies while driving in traffic. Has done this since I bought it. Very unsafe. I have had my car since march 2022. While driving it says engine power reduced, traction control, stabli track, and loses power and I have to try to safely make sure I get it off the road. After it dies it won't start. I have to get tow truck to bring it home. Then next day it starts fine sometimes. Very unsafe. I have children . I have barley been able to prevent myself from being in a wreck. When it dies the whole cars jerks. It does it all the time. This last time it was doing it so much I haven't been able to drive it. To afraid of accident.

There was a recall on the airbag on my vehicle a while back. I took my car to the dealer to have it serviced. They fixed it supposedly but periodically when I start the the car the airbag light would take a while to go out, like a delay. Reported to dealer now airbag light is on continuously and dealer says it's no longer under warranty or recall. Now I have a problem with the Stabilitrak system light comes on and the car sometimes slow down or shuts off. I've taken it to the dealer about the problem but they can't ever seem to find it during a diagnostic my car shut off on me while I was on the interstate driving 70 miles an hour in the left lane good thing I was an experienced driver me and my family could have gotten killed. I researched the internet and found that this has happened to many of these Traverse and there has been no recall are we waiting for someone to die before we look into this. I got no warning the light came on and the car shut off an it coast it didn't lock up which was a good thing. I turned the ignition switch off had to wait about 15 minutes turned it back on and it was fine. I took it to the dealer nothing, month later same thing.. First time it happened was in February 2017 or 2018

I was parking in front of a restaurant- my foot was on the brake and as I came to a stop the engine revved up and the car surged forwarded about 5 feet - The car pushed a pole and blew out the front door and the door frame- all this time my foot was on the brake. If someone was walking in to the restaurant they surly would have been killed. NO warning lamps or lights-I have not taken it to the dealer yet the body shop still has it. There was no police report the accident was on private property. If the dealer gives me the runaround I'll get rid of this car.

While driving 65 to 70 mph on the freeway, vehicle suddenly shudders and dash state "engine reduce speed" and "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control". It has happen about twice a month 6 months back. Took it to the dealership, no code so they couldn't find the issue even though I should them multiple videos. Today the vehicle shut off while driving 65 mph this morning in the fast lane. Luckily my wife put the Emergency lights on and we wasn't hit from behind but cats did brake fast and almost hit us. So far vehicle has left me on the side on the road 3 times today. Errors codes that are coming up is P1682 and c042-00. It also states replace ignition relay switch which I had done 3 times already. Once this happens I have to wait 10 minutes, then restart, then shut off, then reatart, then shut off then restart until to vehicle starts up how it should start up with no hesitation or shaking. Then I can make it home My fear is my wife will be driving and car shuts off while driving on the freeway with the kids. I know this issues was recalled with the traverse 2009 and 2010 and some other vehicle gm made.

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY TURNS OFF AND ON THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. AT TIMES, THE VEHICLE ALSO GOES INTO "REDUCED POWER MODE" WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN THE REDUCED POWER MODE OCCURS, LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALSO OCCUR MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL UNTIL IT IS STOPPED. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE REDUCED POWER MODE AND TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAC CONDITIONS GO AWAY UNTIL IT RANDOMLY TRIGGERS AGAIN. THE REDUCED POWER MODE AND TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAC ERRORS MAY OCCUR EITHER WHILE MOVING OR WHILE STATIONARY. THE EVENTS TRIGGER RANDOM ENGINE CODES, OF WHICH I HAVE SEVERAL ON RECORD, AND THOSE ENGINE CODES TYPICALLY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, ON OCCASION, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT AND AIRBAG LIGHTS ALERT TO BUCKLE THE BELT ALTHOUGHT THERE IS NO ONE OR NOTHING IN THAT SEAT. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME IGINITION SWITCH THAT WAS RECALLED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL.THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS 10/02/2020, WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO REDUCE POWER MODE, AND NEARLY CAUSING ME TO MISS A NEGOTIATING A CURVE IN THE ROAD.

APPROXIMATELY 4 WEEKS AFTER THE NEW BRAKES WERE REPLACED A GRINDING NOISE BEGAN WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES COMING TO A STOP. I HAD NO NOISES COMING FROM MY BRAKES EVER BEFORE THEY WERE REPLACED? I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING AND BRAKES WERE 100%. THE GRINDING NOISE CONTINUED SO I TOOK IT BACK AND TEST DROVE IT WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO FINALLY HEARD IT AND A BRAKE BOOSTER WAS ORDERED AND BRAKES WERE REPAIRED. MY TRAVERSE HAS NOW BEEN BACK FOR THIS BRAKE PROBLEM 3 TIMES. THE GRINDING NOISE IS STILL THERE AND THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT BACK WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN ALERT ON THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT A RECALL BY GM. THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS SUCH CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, PER BULLETIN PIT5563 AT THE COST OF $700.00. SINCE IT'S NOT A RECALL BUT A PROBLEM THEY ARE AWARE OF AND SINCE IT ONLY OCCURRED AFTER MY BRAKES WERE REPLACED I HAVE TO FOOT THE COST.

I CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY GAVE ME AN APPOINTMENT FOR 2 WEEKS ON 3/12/2015 IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG I'M NOT SAFE AND MY WARRANTY MAY NO LONGER COVER IT AT THAT TIME BEING THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *JS

POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

1 complaint

WHILE DRIVING THIS 2013 TRAVERSE, IT LOST ALL POWER WITH THE STABILINK AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS BEING ACTIVATED IN THE MESSAGE CENTER. THEN THE 2013 TRAVERSE LOST POWER WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING, WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE TRAVERSE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED FROM 55 MPH TO 15 MPH CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION. ALL MY ONLINE RESEARCH IN DIFFERENT FORUMS DISPLAYS NUMEROUS OTHERS INCIDENTS OF THIS SAME STABILINK/TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A SAFE DESIGN AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ANNOUNCED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *JS

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AND CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD NO WARNING AND NO ABILITY TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THAT A PIECE IN THE ENGINE HAD FALLEN OR BROKEN AND DAMAGED THE PISTON, THE CYLINDER AND THE HEAD OF THE ENGINE. AS THE MECHANIC SAID, IT WAS A "CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE." THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE IN THE CAR AND THEN ONE DAY LATER, AFTER HAVING THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 32 DAYS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THAT THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING AND THEY REPLACED IT. GM TOLD ME THAT THE PIECE THAT FELL HAD NOT BEEN TIGHTENED PROPERLY AND THIS WAS MISSED ON THE FINAL INSPECTION. NOT ONLY AM I CONCERNED BY HAVING HAD THIS FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY, MOREOVER IN A NEW CAR, BUT THE SUDDEN STOPPING OF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING IS THE SAME THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE CARS THAT HAVE RECENTLY BEEN RECALLED BY GM. I GOT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF ITS GOOD SAFETY PROFILE HOWEVER NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND SECURE DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR

IN SNOW OF ALMOST ANY DEPTH, THE VEHICLE WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY ON ACCELERATION FROM 35 MPH UP. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND FEELS LIKE ITS BOGGING DOWN. IT WILL STAY LIKE THIS FOR SOMETIME HOURS THEN IT WILL CEASE. FENDER WELLS ARE CLEAR OF DEBRIS. THE PROBLEM IS IT WILL DO THIS SOMETIMES AT WILL ON THE ROADWAY WHERE I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR ENDED TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED, THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE CHEVY TRAVERSE FORUM WEBSITE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GLOBAL POSITIONING NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM WAS DIFFICULT TO READ BECAUSE THE FONT WAS ENTIRELY TOO SMALL. THE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM ALSO EXHIBITED WHITE LETTERING ON A LIGHT GREEN BACKGROUND, WHICH DID NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH CONTRAST. THE LOCATION OF THE SCREEN WAS ABNORMALLY LOW ON THE DASHBOARD AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REMOVE SIGHT FROM THE ROADWAY FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY STATED THAT THE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1500.
