For the past 2 months every time I reach 40 mph service stabilitrak comes on and the car starts pulling to the left and having trouble accelerating. I have took it to 3 mechanics and they can't find the problem at all
Nov 24, 2025
Car shutters when between 30-40 mph. Multiple other reports online with same vehicles claiming torque converter issues.
Nov 18, 2021
From almost the time it left the factory, the onboard navigation system included in this vehicle has contained out of date and dangerous mapping. Drivers should be warned not to rely on the system until proper updates are provided by the manufacturer. This is particularly dangerous in areas where new construction has altered entrance and exit points on highways. Countless attempts to work with the manufacturer to obtain an update have fallen on deaf ears. On a recent trip the outdated mapping recommended a 150 mile detour where none was ultimately needed.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM MOTOR 'SHREDDED' FROM THE INSIDE. ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. STOPPED PRODUCING COLD AIR SUMMER 2020.
Mar 25, 2021
I PURCHASED A USED 2015 CHEVY TRAVERSE FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WITH 58435 MILES. WITHIN 200 MILES, THE REAR AC WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING TO AN AIR SHOW IN JUNE 2020. I LIVE IN THE SOUTHEAST WHERE TEMPS CAN GET VERY HOT AND HUMID QUICKLY, AND I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. SO NOW, MY CAR HAS BECOME A HAZARD TO MY CHILDREN AS I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THEM ANYWHERE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. IT IS UNIMAGINABLE TO LEAVE A CHILD IN A HOT CAR, SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE WHEN CHEVROLET HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE AC ISSUES IN ITS VEHICLES FOR YEARS!!! I'M TIRED OF CAR MANUFACTURERS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR SHOTTY WORK! HOW, IN GOOD FAITH, CAN I DRIVE MY CHILDREN IN MY CAR, IN THE SOUTHEAST, WITH NO AC? WINDOWS DOWN DOESN'T WORK WITH SMALL CHILDREN AND WIND IS BLOWING IN THEIR FACE ON A HIGHWAY OR IN TRAFFIC AND THERE IS NO WIND. WHEN SPEAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED, IT IS GOING TO COST $1400 AND THEY ARE AWARE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THE CONSMER NOW HAS TO PAY FOR A KNOWN FAULTY AC. CHEVROLET HAS ALREADY ISSUED AN UPDATED PART! THEY KNOW, AND YET THERE IS NO RECALL. HAVING A MANUFACTURER KNOW ABOUT A FAULTY AC IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, FOR CHILDREN. PERIOD. AND THEY NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND OWN UP TO IT. JUST GOOGLE KNOWN AC PROBLEMS IN 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. YOU'LL SEE, IT'S NOT JUST THE STYLE AND MAKE OF MY VEHCILE, IT'S ACADIA, BUICK AND GMC VEHICLES.

I was never informed of this recall! I just happened to check due to a seperate issue that's been happening(the transmission seems to be slipping, which I also read 2015 traverse's have that recall too, just not under my VIN) But it upsets me that I never received notice on this and the recall was in May 2023 and it's now March 2025!! I drive this car DAILY and also have my boyfriend in the passenger seat DAILY on our commute to and from work!!

VEHICLE BEGAN STUTTERING WHEN UPSHIFT OR DOWNSHIFT 2ND-3RD GEARS LOW SPEEDS. TOOK TO DEALER. AT FIRST COULD NOT REPLICATE BUT THEN FOUND GM SERVICE BULLETIN # 18-NA-358 (SEE ATTACHED). FIRST RELEASED IN NOVEMBER 2018 AND MOST RECENTLY UPDATED OCTOBER 2020. IT LISTS THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. IT INCLUDES MANY GM VEHICLES INCLUDING MY 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOT A RECALL THAT THIS WAS JUST A NORMAL BULLETIN TO HELP TECHNICIANS HANDLE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED PROBLEMS. I WOULD REQUEST SOMEONE TO REVIEW FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
7 complaints
The rear lower brake lights stopped working. Only the top center brake light will work. This is the second time in about a month and a half that this has happened. The first time the dealer replaced the brake light switch located on the brake pedal. This time I have been told that the main fuse block has to be replaced. If this is not fixed, this will cause other system's to malfunction including the ABS, transmission not shifting properly (this happened the first time). I had about 3 or 4 different warning messages the first time this happened. These fuse blocks are on national back order. Unknown when I will be able to get the part. In the meantime, I have a vehicle that I cannot drive due to safety problems. I have done some research and found that GM has major problems with these fuse blocks. This problem is caused by a poor design of the fuse block by GM.

on my vehicle the Electrical system in the Drivers door and All 4 doors have connector connecting the doors electrical to the main Body harness. These connectors DO NOT HAVE a gasket or any means of sealing out the weather, This connector rides between door and body between the Hinges and is exposed to weather and Road Conditions. This Connector not being weather Proofed has rotted and shorted/Corroded pins. This failure of the Pins has disabled all electrical function controlled from the Driver door. 1. Driver is unable to adjust Power mirrors. 2. Driver is unable to lock or unlock other doors. 3. Driver is unable to Disable Other passengers ability to open or close ANY power windows 4. Driver is unable to open/close Drivers window and or Passenger windows. (ie child opens) 5. Driver is unable to Open or close any power windows. 6. Should driver manually lock Driver Door and become incapacitated in any way, Driver Door lock does not respond to Lock/UN-Lock form other doors or computer. I recently bought this vehicle in a private sale, Previous owner did point out window buttons not working, I believe was unaware of the other Door Controls not functioning, was un-aware of functions not working. Searching on google has reviled this issue to me on wide range of years and makes for Chevy/GMC

The headlights constantly burn out, at a rate of one bulb every two months. It would be a tragic safety event if they both went out at the same time. The design of the headlight system is poor in that you have to replace the light through the inner fender, making it nearly impossible to do without touching the bulb. Poor design and something needs to be done to address this issue.

Vehicle started bucking and shaking when taking off from traffic light. With excessive speed 50-60MPH that followed the bucking. Tried applying both feet by standing on the brakes. Car started to slow down, only to speed back up until, the vehicle could be shut off. Lights on dash were flashing. On such a heavy traveled, congested road, someone could have been killed. My car is scheduled to be looked at by Dealer.

CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, AND I ACCELERATED THE CAR UP AN ENTRANCE RAMP ON TO A 65 MPH HIGHWAY (INTERSTATE 40, DURHAM, NC) TO MERGE INTO MODERATE TRAFFIC HEADING WEST. THE CAR THEN BEGAN ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN DESPITE TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AND PROBABLY REACHED 70 MPH. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH SLOWED THE CAR IN A SHUDDERING MANNER, BUT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, WHICH CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, I BRAKED AGAIN, WITH A SIMILAR RESULT. TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL BY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, SO I BRAKED AGAIN AND HELD THEM HARD, WHICH SLOWED THE VEHICLE. ON THIS THIRD TRY, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED, AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT OFF. IT'S NOT BEEN USED SINCE, SO ITS STATUS IS UNKNOWN. NO ACCIDENT AROSE FROM THIS INCIDENT.
Jan 10, 2020
I WAS ORIGINALLY IN A PARKING LOT, STOPPED COMPLETELY, THEN PROCEEDED TO GENTLY TURN LEFT IN TO A PARKING SPACE. I BARELY PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR REVVED UP AND TOOK OFF FULL SPEED AHEAD MAKING ME CRASH IN TO A HILL. THE HILL IS A SMALL LANDSCAPE SPACE THAT DIVIDES THE PARKING LOT AND A BUSY 6 LANE STREET. THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED. I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED YET THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN AN INTERSECTION OR IN TRAFFIC. I HAD THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN ASSESS THE ISSUE AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING STARTING IT UP AND DRIVING AGAIN. I TOWED IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP I HAD JUST LEFT FROM AS THIS SAME DAY THEY HAD COMPLETED A REPAIR ON THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. I FILED A CLAIM WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I'M STILL WAITING TO FOR THE VEHICLE INSPECTION REPORT DETAILS.

Aug 08, 2019
PLEASE ENACT LAWS THAT PROHIBIT REVERSE LIGHTS FROM ILLUMINATING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN REVERSE! THE REVERSE LIGHTS ARE TO LET OTHER DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS KNOW THAT THE CAR IS IN THE REVERSE GEAR AND MAY BACK UP. FOR SOME REASON GM VEHICLES USE REVERSE LIGHTS WHEN IN PARK, CONFUSING EVERYONE ABOUND THE CAR.

Every so often, when I brake, just before the car should come to a complete stop, the engine seems to rev and the car will keep moving forward a few feet. Chevy dealership had 3 different service technicians drive the car to try to recreate the problem, but since it is a rare occurrence, they did not experience the issue. Googling the scenario returns many who say it may be a vacuum leak in the brake booster. Dealership said the brake booster is fine. Floor mat interference with the gas pedal has also been mentioned. I removed the floor mat, and I still have the issue. Dealership said the brakes themselves are fine, and the diagnostic tool returned no problem codes. They also searched for any recalls, but none were found. Any insight provided is appreciated.

I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON SIMILAR YEAR MAKES/MODELS IN REGARDS TO BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURES. MY 2015 CHEVY TRAVERSE FREQUENTLY HAS BRAKING ISSUES RELATED TO THE RECALL. IT OFTEN ALWAYS HAS NOISE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN DEPRESSED THAT SOUNDS LIKE AIR BEING EXPELLED FROM THE LINE. THIS HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE RATES OF SPEEDS IN MULTIPLE DRIVING CONDITIONS; INCLUDING SLOW CITY DRIVING, HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, IN RAIN AND IN SNOW AS WELL AS DRY DAYS. THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2016. IS THE 2015 CHEVY TRAVERSE BEING INVESTIGATED AS WELL OR WILL IT BE? THANK YOU!

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH 13,000 MILES. I WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AFTER REVERSING OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND DRIVING DOWN A SHORT STEEP HILL. I WANTED TO TURN AND TRIED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT IT WAS NOT IN THE PROPER LOCATION. I GLIDED, PUT IN NEUTRAL AND PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. IT WAS AT NIGHT AND I DID NOT SEE THE LOCATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS WHERE IT SHOULD BE. I PUT IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL APPEARED TO BE IN THE CORRECT POSITION AND WORKING. I HAD CHEVY CHECK IT OUT AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND IF I HAD PRESSED IT IF IT WOULD HAVE WORKED. IT SEEMS TO HAVE AN AIR LEAK SOUND SOMETIMES WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKE AND THEY JUST SAID IT WAS NORMAL THOUGH I DON'T RECALL HEARING THAT FOR 13,000 MILES BEFORE. I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE BUT NOW FEAR FOR MY LIFE IF THE BRAKES GO OUT ON A HIGHWAY.

The biggest problem is that mechanics don't know how to fix this problem. Traction control needs servicing with causes you to lose acceleration on the freeway. Then sometimes stabilitrac also goes off. Now the vehicle engine keeps running when turned off. The air conditioning sometimes randomly won't work at all, and last the tire servicing system now won't sync.

RECENTLY LEASED VEHICLE IS A HAZARD! ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES, DECELERATES AND BRAKES ON ITS OWN. TRANSMISSION CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. THE VEHICLE CAN NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT, IT DOES NOT MOVE WHEN PLACED INTO REVERSE AND SOUNDS LIKE A CAR BADLY OUT OF SHAPE. THE VEHICLE BUCKS AND MAKES LOUD CLUNKING SOUNDS AS IF THE DIFFERENT SPEEDS COULD NOT KICK IN. THE CAR HAS NEVER GIVEN ANY WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD FOR ALL THE ISSUES IT PRESENTS. ELECTRICAL ISSUES: CAN NOT CHARGE PHONE ON IT. TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEIR REPORTS STATE NO CODES AVAILABLE FOR ANY POSSIBLE ISSUE. ONLY UNTIL THE CAR STARTED TO BURN AND SHOW SMOKE, DID THE MECHANICS ATTEMPT TO FIX IT. REPORT RETURNED SHOWS THAT THE TRANSMISSION CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH NO ROOT CAUSE FOUND, STEERING WHEEL AND ALIGNMENT WHERE NEEDED, SEVERAL PIECES KNOWN AS CLUTCHES/PATS HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALL THESE ISSUES PRESENTED DRIVING IN STREET TRAFFIC UNDER 40MPH AND IN SHORT DISTANCES.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR JARRED FORWARD , MADE A POPPING SOUND AND LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE SPEED DROPPED. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO. THE STABILITY TRAC CAME ON THE DASH AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE HOME. I LOOKED THIS UP ON YOUTUBE AND FOUND OUT THE CAR DOES NOT KEEP A MEMORY OF THE CODE THE CAR THROWS WHEN THIS HAPPEN. AFTER THE CAR SITS ALL NIGHT IT "RESETS" ITSELF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I WAS LUCKY IT DID NOT STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE . THIS IS A HUGE SAFE ISSUE I HAUL MY CHILD AND GRANDDAUGHTER IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT IT. GET IT FIXED, DO A RECALL. *TR

VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DECELERATE, WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND NOTIFICATIONS THAT TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, AND STABILITRAK IS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE WHILE DRIVING (STRAIGHT ON 25MPH ROAD) ONCE-MOST RECENT- WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER FIRST TIME, HAD VEHICLE SERVICED AND HAD A PURGE VALVE REPLACED PER COMPUTER ERROR CODE. VEHICLE IS AWAITING SERVICE AGAIN. TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE, SHUT OFF IS REQUIRED (TWO TIMES) BUT ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 36,000 MILES. WEATHER WAS FAIR BOTH DAYS-OVERCAST, BUT ROADS WERE DRY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A VERY WET SUMMER, PREVIOUSLY A WINTER WITH A LOT OF SALT AND ANTI-SKID TREATMENTS. VEHICLE DOES NOT TRAVEL MUCH OTHER THAN TO MY CHILD'S SCHOOL AND BASIC ERRANDS. ONLY IN MY POSSESSION 2 YEARS AS OF JULY.

IN 1 MONTH 4 INCIDENTS THAT I LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, 3XS ON MAIN STREET, ONCE ON HIGHWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED FOR A MOMENT THEN SHUT OFF. DURING THE LAST 2XS VEHICLE WAS SHAKING. DURING THE 3X, STABILITRAK LIGHTS CAME ON. ALL TIMES, I PULLED OVER (THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT), SHUT CAR OFF THEN RESTART. UPON 3X DEALERSHIP REPLACED PLUGS AND COILS, THEN HAD 4TH INCIDENT. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO CODES AND CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. CAR IS GOING BACK IN TODAY FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS. VEHICLE IS LEASED AND JUST GOT TO 1 YEAR AND 12K MILES (130 MILES DEALER PUT ON TRYING TO RECREATE PROBLEM). THIS IS BEYOND DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS ON THE GAS, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND. CERTAIN SERVICE SIGNS ALSO APPEAR AND THEY ARE 'SERVICE STABILITRAK,' SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL,' 'TRACTION CONTROL OFF,' AND 'PARK ASSIST OFF.' THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A FAIRLY BUSY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND HAD TO PHYSICALLY NOTIFY THE DRIVER COMING TOWARDS ME TO STOP. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN T-BONED! THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE APPEARED, THEY CLEARED IT AND TEST DROVE IT AND IT WAS FINE. HOWEVER, A MONTH LATER, IT DID IT AGAIN. HUGE LIABILITY HERE! DURING BOTH INCIDENTS, I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD.

The 2015 Chevy Traverse LTZ that I own is presenting with the same problems as many of its body style and year. The water intrusion has caused wiring to corrode in the side detection system & the drivers door wiring harness is presenting with open circuits. The LH side object module is throwing code U0233:00. They tested circuits at RH module. Found water intrusion in module, & corrosion on terminals & harness. Due to nature of location of modules, they recommend replacing LH & RH modules & harness. DTC B0085:05 current. Tested circuits & found open circuit internal to drivers door harness. Recommend replacing harness. The air bag code threw 2 days after I bought the veh 04/01/25, I attempted to contact the dealership I bought the vehicle from, AutoCredit in Hayden, ID, who admitted to the dangerous code being present, and that they were going to do nothing about it. Some time late April, my veh threw the code for side detection. On 05/27/25 I took my veh into Taylor & Sons Chevy in Ponderay, who dx my codes, and advised the above was needed. They also confirmed the fact that when that airbag code is present, that none of my airbags would deploy at time of impact if a collision occurred. This is a huge safety risk as much of my daily commute is on the hwy, and the influx of drivers in my area not familiar with the roads is increasing daily. My side detection system is a safety hazard as well due to the Traverse’s blind spots. Thank you for your time. I did not know what to do until I contacted Chevy directly who advised me to contact the NHTSA.

On March 4, 2023, I purchased a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse from Landers Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram located in Norman, Oklahoma. Before actually purchasing the vehicle and after inspection it was stated to the dealership that the [XXX] would not purchase the vehicle with the various problems notated before purchase. After receiving a verbal agreement that the problems would be fixed my wife and I signed the contract. My wife and I took the car to Lawton Oklahoma from Mach 4 to March 8 when we were to return the vehicle for repairs. Then on March 17, 2023, we picked the vehicle up from Landers after repairs. After leaving Landers Chrysler and then getting onto HE Bailey Turnpike the vehicle’s check engine light came back on, and the passenger headlight was out again. However, on March 20, 2023, [XXX] wrote a letter to Landers Chrysler with several complaints which needed to be rectified. •RE: Failure to disclose material information, and/or making a false representation of a present or past material fact such as a diagnostic trouble code: (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold [possible needed repairs] 2015 Chevrolet Traverse) known to dealer, and by the dealer’s failing to disclose such information involving the vehicle's history to a recent purchaser, and Lending Institution. Landers Chrysler did fix the problem with the check engine light, but refused to fix the front headlight problem, and told the [XXX] that since they had a service contract, that should cover the headlight situation. However, that is not the case. The service contract does not cover headlight problems, and Classic Chevrolet where the vehicle is now located wants to charge me over $2000 to fix the problem. Although my wife and I thought that the headlight was fixed, it was later learned that it was not. I sincerely believe that Landers Chrysler knew that the headlights and possibly light switches had serious problems, then sold the vehicle knowing this.

Air bag on right side is off, Vehicle front dash has the air bag needs to be serviced. this started as of the 1st month of purchased, took to dealership and they could not duplicated the problem. The air bag would go off and off from time to time, but by the time I had my appointment at the dealership it would go back on. Now I am out of warranty and the light is always red that the air bag on the right side is off. I noticed that when we would close the back of the vehicle after placing groceries the light would go off and when closing again it would go off. Now it is always on indicating that the right air bag is not on.

INITIALLY I HAD AN ISSUE WITH SUDDEN HEAVY VIBRATION, PRIMARILY WHILE TURNING, WAS NOT RECORDING WITH A FAULT. PER MY SERVICE RECORDS ATTACHED THERE WERE SEVERAL TRIPS TRY A DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE MYSTERIOUS ISSUE REQUIRING GM ENGINEER SUPPORT OUTSIDE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TECHNICIANS. SHORTLY AFTER MY FINAL SERVICE FOR THE VIBRATION ISSUE I REPORTED ABNORMAL SHIFTING DURING ACCELERATION AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE SHIFTING TRAINED TO THE DRIVER. THE ABNORMAL SHIFTING NEVER RESOLVED ITSELF. PERIODICALLY THE WARNING FOR SERVICE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL PRESENTS AND THE TRAVERSE PERFORMS ROUGHLY. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING..THE RELATED FAULT IS NOT RECORDED EITHER. RECENTLY I HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BUT FEAR THAT THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT HAD IT OCCURED ON A BUSIER STREET OR HIGHWAY. I REACHED OUT TO GENERAL MOTORS AND CMA COLONIAL CHEVY AND THEY WANT TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC. I JUST HAD A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED THAT THE FAULT CODES WERE NOT RECORDED AND THAT MY TRANSMISSIONIS FAILING. HISTORY OF SERVICE WITH THIS VEHICLE LEADS ME TO KNOW THAT PAYING FOR A 2ND DIAGNOSTIC AT THE DEALERSHIP WILL PRESENT THE SAME RESULTS.

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING OUR 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 80MPH. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE ACCELERATOR STAYED IN THE DOWN POSITION AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. WE WERE UP TO 90 MPH. I PUT MY FEET ON THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO 70MPH. THE ACCELERATOR WAS STILL STUCK IN THE FLOORED POSITION AND FIGHTING THE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO MANIPULATE MY FOOT BEHIND THE ACCELERATOR AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PULL THE ACCELERATOR UP IT RELEASED. THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK AND WE WERE ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE INTERSTATE. WHEN THE CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER START. CHEVROLET TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR AND MODULE WENT 'BAD' PER THE DEALER. THE SENSOR MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE ACCELERATOR TO STICK PER THE DEALERSHIP.

During a routine maintenance appointment with my mechanic, the airbag warning light illuminated on the dashboard immediately following service. I brought the vehicle to a dealership for diagnosis and was informed that the issue is due to a manufacturer-issued recall affecting the airbag system. However, I was also told that no replacement parts are currently available and there is no estimated date for when the defective component can be replaced. This creates a serious safety risk, as the vehicle may now be operating with a disabled or malfunctioning airbag system, which could fail to deploy in the event of a collision. I am forced to drive a vehicle that has been acknowledged as unsafe by the manufacturer and dealer, without remedy or safe alternative provided. The dealer confirmed the recall and the unavailability of parts, but has offered no loaner vehicle, reimbursement, or temporary resolution. I am requesting that NHTSA intervene to ensure that: The manufacturer remedies the safety defect in a timely manner. Affected drivers are provided with safe alternative transportation if parts are delayed. Accountability measures are enforced if harm results from known but unresolved recalls. Component/System for inspection: Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Warning lights/symptoms: The airbag indicator light turned on immediately after routine service. Dealer confirmed problem: Yes. Manufacturer informed: Indirectly, through dealer report. Police/Insurance involved: No.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact discovered that the front driver side curtain air bag cover panel was loose and unsecured. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the front driver’s side curtain air bag had partially deployed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle had not been involved in a crash to cause the partial deployment of the air bag. Additionally, the front passenger’s seat occupant detection sensor had failed causing the air bag warning light to remain illuminated. In addition, the front driver’s seat rails had malfunctioned, and the seat continued to move while driving the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.

The 2015 Chevy Traverse had a hard shifting transmission from the first day we purchased it. The Chevy Dealer said that it was a shifting software problem. That did not fix it. The hard shifting transmission caused an engine motor mount to break twice. (There was a safety recall on the motor mount) That engine motor mount caused the power steering fluid to leak out. I contacted the Chevy Dealer and they said contact General Motors. General Motors ignored the problems.

When driving during rain, the ABS light came on due to wet conditions and reduced my driving speed ability, and created difficulty for traffic and for my family on the highway. This of which made me have to pull off to the side of the road and try to travel 40 minutes to a safe destination at a very slow speed while my vehicle was difficult to drive. Once parked overnight at a hotel it was okay to drive but created a very dangerous situation on the roadways. I wasn't sure that I could drive it in the morning and was hundreds of miles from home. Another situation is when my LED dash lights go out or become nearly invisible. I can't read anything on the dashboard that displays mileage or anything else. Can make it difficult for driving and safety concerns. Also, my blind spot detection quit working and has caused problems detecting cars and anything else while driving or backing up. Another issue is my side airbag came open by itself but has not launched (thankfully). I cannot repair it on my own. These are expensive issues. I had already replaced all of my tires due to the tires that had been on it kept going flat and the sensors stopped working.

All I did was take it to get new rear calipers and an alignment and when I left the shop I got a light on the dashboard that says service traction control service stabilitrak and sometimes the abs goes on and off and sometimes the airbag light comes on and turns off. I can't drive over 1.5rpm and it's jumping when trying to accelerate. I'm not getting codes. I changed the brake pedal sensor to see if that works but no. Mechanic can't seem to figure out the issue without me spending more and more money on it. I've only had it roughly a year and half. I've put alot of money into this vehichle.

DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE PAD RETAINER DEFECTIVE. PART IS MADE SO THAT THE BRAKE PADS DO NOT MOVE SO THAT YOU GET SEVERE PAD WEAR, SAME AS IF YOU HAD A FROZEN CALIPER. DEALER DID NOTHING TO FIX IT. MY BROTHER HAD A 2016 AND THE OTHER SIDE DID THE SAME THING. I ALSO NOTICED MY FRIENDS 2019 BLAZER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN'T FIND ONE TO REPLACE IT SO I GROUND THE ENDS OF THE PADS SO THEY COULD MOVE FREELY. OTHER INDICATION IS SPONGY FEEL STOPPING THE CAR. I WOULDN'T BE WRITING THIS IF THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. BOB JOHNSON OF ROCHESTER IS THE PLACE. PROBLEM VEHICLE NOT STOPPING PROPERLY

I RECENTLY GOT THIS CAR FROM A LICENSED DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. I THE CAR HAS BROKEN DOWN TWICE AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES. 2 OF WHICH WERE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING YOU EITHER FEEL A CONSTANT PULL THEN ITS ALMOST LIKE IT RELEASES AND THEN IT SPEEDS UP. THEN I HAVE A HARD TIME SLOWING IT DOWN. WHEN THE CAR BROKE DOWN THE TEMP GAUGE DROPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN, AC STOPPED WORKING AND WHEN I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE CAR IT WOULD START AGAIN. AFTER 30 MIN IT STARTED BUT IMMEDIATELY REV UP IN RPMS TO MAX AND WOULDN'T STOP TILL I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THEY CAR HAS BEEN IN AS I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT IT STILL REVS UP RPMS HARD AND LONG, WHEN IT SHIFTS IT JUMPS, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FEELS AS IF ITS LOOSING POWER ,THE BATTER LEVELS CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE ITS TRYING TO JUMP OUT OF MY HANDS. JOLTS ME LIKE I'VE HIT A POT HOLE BUT THERE IS NO POT HOLE. ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS FAR AS JUST BARLEY PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE LIGHTS DO SOME STUFF AND ALL THE DOORS LOCK, AND ITS SET TO LOCK WHEN UP TO SPEED. SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE CAR IT WILL HAVE A WEEK REV AND IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WOULD WHEN YOU GET A JUMP AND YOUR TRYING TO PUMP THE JUICES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT IT STILL FEELING LIKE ITS PULLING AND THEN SPEEDS UP. RPMS STILL JUMP UP HARD AND LONG. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND EVERYONE KEEPS TELLING ME ITS FIXED BUT IT IS NOT. THIS VEHICLE WAS MENTIONED TO BE A FAMILY CAR BUT I CANT TRUST ME OR MY FAMILY IS SAFE. IT WAS MADE 07/14 BUT HAS A 2015 VIN NUMBER. THIS CAR SHOULD OF BEEN PUT OUT OF SERVICE AND NEVER SOLD TO ANYONE. SINCE THE TRAVERS HAD SO MANY RECALLS IN 2014 WHICH BY THE WAY MATCH PERFECTLY AND MORE TO WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR.

SINCE AUGUST( AROUND 08/25/19), I'VE BEEN HAVING A SERVICE AIR BAG NOTIFCATION WHICH I'VE TOOK TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SERVICES. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE A SENOR TO BE REPLACED AND PAYED FOR THE REPLACEMENT. SEPTEMBER ( AROUND 09/18/2019), THE SERVICE AIR BAG CAME ON AGAIN LESS THAN A MONTH WITH THE SAME NOTIFICATION. I WAS TOLD THEN THERE WAS A SECOND SENOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HERE I AM NOW IN NOVEMBER (11/20/19) WITH THE SERVICE AIR BAG NOTIFCATION ON MY DASH BOARD AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING CHEVROLET ONCE MORE ABOUT THIS. I RESERACH THE RECALL BUT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. I'M UNSURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE LIGHT EITHER POP UP AT THE START OF TURNING ON THE VEHICLE OR DURING THE DRIVE. NORMALLY ON THE FIRST DAY OF NOTIFICATION IT WILL GO OFF AFTER SECOND CRANK BUT WITHIN 3 DAYS WILL RETURN AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. THIS PART IS NOT A CHEAP PART PLUS ADDING DEALERSHIP FEES.

WE HAVE 2 ISSUES. 1ST WAS IN JULY 2019, OUR POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT WITH ON 60,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSES. 2ND CONCERN IS IN SEPTEMBER 2019 OUR VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION CAPABILITIES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE DISPLAY SAID HAVE STABILITY CONTROL SERVICED. WE HAD TROUBLE MAKING IT HOME AND AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF FOR A FEW HOURS IT THEN RAN FINE. IT WAS LIKE A COMPUTER GLITCH ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH OCCURRED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WAS VERY UNSAFE. WE WERE DRIVING STRAIGHT 50 MPH ON A CLEAR NICE AFTERNOON AND SLOWED TO 25 WHEN IT HAPPENED AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY.

PURCHASED A 2015 CHEVY TRAVERSE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT'S LEAKING. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 3.5YRS OLD THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING!

I WAS SLOWLY BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2015 TRAVERSE ACCELERATED TO 40-50 MILES PER HOUR TO MY HORROR. I FELT LIKE I WAS IN THE INDY 500. THE CAR BACKED INTO A TREE IN MY FRONT YARD, THEN AT THE SAME HIGH SPEED LIFTED OFF THE GROUND AND RACED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO 2 PARKED CARS IN MY BACK YARD. HAD THE 2 PARKED CARS NOT STOPPED ME MY NEIGHBORS FEEL I WOULD HAVE GONE INTO THE LAKE IN MY BACK YARD. MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF, YET THE ONE IN THE EMPTY PARKED CAR DID GO OFF. ALL 3 VEHICLES WERE A TOTAL LOSS.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED GOING ABOUT 50MPH AND HIT A TREE IN MY YARD, THEN THE FRONT END LIFTED OFF THE GROUND AND THE CAR RACED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO MY FRIEND'S CAR. THEY BOTH HIT MY PICKUP TRUCK ALSO. ALL 3 VEHICLES ARE A TOTAL LOSS. FROM THE NEIGHBORS WHO OBSERVED THIS, IT'S A MIRACLE I WASN'T BADLY INJURED. ALSO I HAVE A TEAR IN MY ACHILLES TENDON ON RIGHT FOOT SO IN NO WAY COULD I HAVE MASHED ON ACCELERATOR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT HAVE INVOLVED SERVICE STABILITREK/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COMING ON ALONG WITH ENGINE POWER REDUCING WARNING. I'VE LOST POWER AND HAD SPEED DRAMATICALLY REDUCE PUTTING ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND VEHICLE SLOWS TO A STOP. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, SECOND TIME I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I LOST STEERING IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS MENTIONED. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT WILL BE GOING BACK TOMORROW AS MY HUSBAND HAD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN TONIGHT WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY. THE THINGS THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. FIRST TIME I TOOK IT THEY SAID A HOSE HAD COME LOOSE AND ENGINE MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. THIRD TIME I TOOK IT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES INDICATING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THE CAR DID NOT ACT UP WHEN THEY TOOK IT OUT FOR A DRIVE. CAR IS ALSO SHIFTING FORCEFULLY WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY GOING AROUND 65 MPH. IT ALSO DOES THIS WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON.

THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE BRITAX B SAFE 35 ELITE INFANT CAR SEAT AND THE RED RELEASE BUTTON FOUND ON TOP OF THE SEAT WHERE AN INFANT'S FEET/LEGS REST. MY DAUGHTER JUST TURNED 1 A FEW WEEKS AGO AND IS ABLE TO RELEASE THE STRAPS IN THIS CAR SEAT HERSELF. SHE RESTS HER FEET ON THE RED BUTTON AND WITH THE ROAD MOVEMENT OF THE CAR AND HER WIGGLING AROUND, SHE IS ABLE TO LOOSEN THE SEAT ENOUGH TO GET HER ARM OUT OF THE STRAP. IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH FORCE WHATSOEVER TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BUTTON TO CAUSE THE STRAPS TO LOOSEN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME SHE HAS LOOSENED HERSELF FROM THIS SEAT. THE BUTTON IS FULLY EXPOSED WITH NO COVERING IN AN AREA THAT CHILDREN REST THEIR FEET. AFTER VISITING SEVERAL CAR SEAT RETAILERS, I NOTED THAT BRITAX B SAFE INFANT SEAT WAS THE ONLY CAR SEAT THAT DID NOT HAVE A COVERING OVER THE RELEASE BUTTON. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THOSE CAR SEATS IF NEEDED. EVEN BRITAX'S OWN CONVERTIBLE SEATS AT LEAST HAVE A LIP OVER THE BUTTON TO PREVENT CHILDREN FROM RELEASING IT. EVERY SINGLE CAR SEAT I CAME ACROSS EITHER HAD THE RELEASE BUTTON UNDER THE PADDING, HAD A PLASTIC LIP THAT EXTENDED OVER THE BUTTON, OR WAS POSITIONED IN A WAY THAT A CHILD COULD NOT RELEASE IT (MUCH LESS AN INFANT). THIS CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN AND SAFETY FEATURE THAT WAS OVERLOOKED BY BRITAX. BRITAX CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME MY DAUGHTER WAS TOO TALL FOR THE SEAT YET SHE FALLS UNDER THE HEIGHT AND WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS OF 32 INCHES AND/OR 35 LBS. THIS IS MY 4TH BRITAX CAR SEAT PURCHASE AND I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH THEIR BRAND UP UNTIL NOW. THE 3 OTHER SEATS I OWN ALL HAVE THE RELEASE BUTTON UNDER THE SEAT PADDING WHERE AN INFANT/CHILD CANNOT EASILY GET TO IT. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING TO KNOW THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT SAFE IN HER CAR SEAT AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND. WE HAVE SINCE DISCONTINUED USING THIS SEAT.

ON SEPT. 17 2016, WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, THE CAR'S ENGINE SLOWED DRAMATICALLY AND STABILITY TRACK, TRACTION CONTROL, AND SLOW ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND TURNED IT OFF. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL. THERE WAS A PUNGENT SMELL ALL INSIDE THE CAR OF GAS AND OTHER FUMES, BUT I DID NOT SEE ANY FLUIDS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO START THE CAR WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. I ROLLED DOWN ALL OF THE WINDOWS TO LESSEN THE ODOR. THE CAR STARTED AS USUAL AND I STARTED BACK DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WITHIN 3 MILES THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN, THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING. I HAD LOST SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL IN 3 MILES. I GOT THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND IT DIED AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK OVER. WHEN I TRIED TO GET IT TO START, THE IGNITION GOT STUCK AND WOULD NOT STOP TRYING TO TURN OVER. THE CAR WAS LOSING FUEL AND WOULD NOT RUN AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE PART SEVERAL DAYS LATER. ON NOV. 11, 2016, AS I DROVE TO WORK THIS MORNING, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR BEGAN FLASHING THE EXACT SAME WARNING CODES AS IN SEPT. THE CAR WOULD GO ABOUT 5-10 MPH AND I WAS STRANDED IN A 6 LANE INTERSECTION. I TURNED OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL AND MANAGED TO GET THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT, ONCE AGAIN. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I HAVE NOT HAD A SEVERE ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED. SOMEONE IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ALSO, THIS SAME VEHICLE'S BACKUP CAMERA WILL TURN ON WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. WHEN IT TURNS ON, THE CAR SWITCHES OUT OF DRIVE, WHILE I AM DRIVING FORWARD.

DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT 65 TO 70 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN EVEN WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE SPEED CONTINUED DECREASING WHEN WE NOTICED THAT THE RADIO HAD ALSO SHUT DOWN. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE OUR WAY TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT ANY MISHAP. THAT'S WHEN WE NOTICE THE ENGINE WAS ALSO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WAS PUZZLED THAT THEY WERE NOT TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. MY WIFE IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTING A SIMILAR PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER IN THE MEANTIME. I WAS TOLD THAT MOST LIKELY THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT MUCH CONSOLATION, TO US WHEN WE WILL BE RETURNING TO FLORIDA IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND WONDER WHETHER THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN WHEN WE ARE ON EXPRESSWAYS WITH FIVE TO SIX LANES, ALL GOING 70 MPH OR MORE AND WITH LITTLE ROOM TO GET OUT OF THE WAY TO SAFETY. LOOKING AT OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES, WHAT IS MENTIONED AS THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE SWITCH, THE BATTERY OR THE ALTERNATOR, OR WIRING TO ALL THESE COMPONENTS. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED AND REMEDIED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2LT IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AT THE SPEED LIMIT. THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE SEVERAL TIMES, THEN SHUT OFF ENGINE POWER ABRUPTLY AND LURCHED FORWARD AND BACK 5 TIMES HARD ENOUGH TO THROW HER INTO THE SEAT BELT. ABOUT THE LURCHING, SHE SAID IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS TRYING TO BRAKE TO A STOP. SHE HAD A WHOLE DASHBOARD FULL OF LIGHTS, AND SHE SAW A STATUS MESSAGE IN PLACE OF THE ODOMETER THAT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNING OFF. SHE WAS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITHOUT ANY SHOULDERS, AND COULDN'T IMMEDIATELY GET OFF THE ROAD, BUT THE ENGINE POWER RETURNED, SO SHE TOOK THE FIRST FREEWAY EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. AFTER SHE RESTARTED THE CAR, IT SEEMED TO BE NORMAL, SO SHE DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT IS WORKING PROPERLY NOW, SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
