MY MECHANIC SAID MY TIMING CHAIN IS LOOSE & THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. ALSO MY RADIO GOES REAL LOW IN A HIGH PITCH TONE & I CAN'T HEAR IT SO THAT MEANS MY TURN SINGNALS ARE LOW & EVERYTHING ELSE THAT MAKES A SOUND IS VERY LOW. ALSO MY WINDOW CONTROLS ARE ALL STARTING TO NOT WORK ONE BY ONE. I ONLY HAVE 89000 MILES ON MY CAR. MY MECHANIC IS TELLING ME I SHOULD GET RID OF MY CAR BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT CHEVY WAS A GOOD CAR.

THE AIR CONDITIONER STILL FAULTY. REPLACED HOSES AND FREON. THE STRUTS STILL LEAKING FLUID AROUND TIRE AREA SINCE PURCHASED. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AT DIFFERENT FORUMS ABOUT THIS. MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY ANF WHEN I HAVE IT TESTED IT JUST SAYS O2 SENSORS. THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR 1-2 DAYS AND THEN GO OUT AND REMAIN OFF FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AT A TIME. EVERYTHING IN THE CAR IS PLASTIC AND KEEPS POPPING OFF. I HAVE REPLACED SO MANY DOOR AND SEAT PIECES THAT THIS IS CRAZY EVEN DOWN TO REPLACING MOTOR MOUNTS. I LOVE CHEVROLET BUT THIS BY FAR HAS BEEN MY MOST AGGRAVATING AND COSTLY PURCHASE.... I USED TO GO TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR SERVICE BUT I NOTICED WHEN I LOG IN TO MY CHEVY/GM PROFILE THEY DON'T LOAD ANYTHING INNTHE SYSTEM FOR CHEVY TO SEE YOU ARE REALLY MAINTAINING YOUR CAR. THESE DEALERS ARE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF.

THIS IS TOWARD CHEVROLET AND ANY OTHER VEHICLE MAKERS THAT REQUIRE EXCESSIVE USE OF DEALERSHIPS FOR MINOR MAINTENANCE. I HAVE COMMUTED 40 MILES DAILY FOR 18 YEARS, I HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED FORD VEHICLES AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH DOING MINOR REPAIRS MYSELF. WITH MY CHEVY VEHICLE I HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP OR REPAIR SHOP TO CHANGE A SIMPLE HEADLIGHT BECAUSE OF THE GREEDY DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THEY DID THIS ON PURPOSE SO THEY COULD MAKE MORE MONEY AT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER SALES. IN THE PAST WHEN I DROVE FORDS IF MY HEADLIGHT WENT HOME I WOULD STOP A COUPLE BLOCKS FROM MY WORK AND POP ONE IN. I STOPPED ON EXIT RAMPS AND ADDED A NEW ONE MANY TIMED, KEEPING A EXTRA IN MY GLOVE BOX LIKE A PREPARED DRIVER. WITH MY TRAVERSE I HAVE GO IN AND HAVE THE TIRE TAKEN OFF AND THE WHEEL WHEEL PLASTIC OFF TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHT. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND RIDICULOUS. I'VE COMPLAINED TO CHEVY WITHOUT A RESPONSE. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE TO SAVE LIVES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR LONG COMMUTERS. IMAGINE BEING ON VACATION AND HAVING TO SPEND A DAY OF IT AT A DEALERSHIP GETTING YOUR HEADLIGHT CHANGED FOR $125.00. WE LIVE IN MN AND FREQUENTLY HAVE TO CHANGE BULBS DUE TO --60 DEGREE WIND CHILLS. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP UP WITH, AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. WHEN YOU SPEND $30K-50K ON A VEHICLE IT SHOULD BE SAFE AND EASY TO MAINTAIN SAFETY. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HAVING TO PULL OUT THE FLOORING OF THE 2ND ROW TO CHANGE A BATTERY.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR BEING DRIVEN THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF, THE STABILIZER GOES OUT, AND THE ENGINE POWER REDUCES. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I LOST POWER GOING FROM 65 MPH DOWN TO 25-30 MPH. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR, WAITED FOR 15 MINUTES AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. I HADN'T GONE FAR AND ALL THE WARNINGS CAME UP AGAIN AND POWER WAS REDUCED. WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN THE SAME THING HAPPENS AND I CAN BE GOING 25 MPH AND THE POWER GOES DOWN TO 10 MPH. WARNING LIGHTS SAY TRACTION 'CONTROL OFF, STABILIZER OFF, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR BEING DRIVEN!!!

APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER HITTING A VERY SMALL POT HOLE I NOTICED A LOUD NOISE WHEN I WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT ONLY 3 DAYS AFTER THAT IT'S STILL TO RIGHT AND NEVER TO THE LEFT BUT DOES MAKE SOME NOISE STRAIGHT. CALLED OUR DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A WHILE 5-15 AND THEY CHECKED AND NO RECALLS ARE ON OUR CAR BUT I'VE READ NUMEROUS SAFETY ISSUES ABOUT THESE VEHICLES. LAST WEEK WHILE IT WAS RAINING I NOTICED MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIDING OR SKATING ONCE AGAIN CALLED DEALER WAS TOLD STILL CAN'T HELP ANY SOONER. NOW TODAY WHILE WINDY AND RAINING IT WAS AWFUL LITERALLY A FIGHT TO KEEP IT IN THE ROAD IT WAS SWAYING AND MOST DEFINITELY DID NOT FEEL SAFE. MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND HAVE 3 SONS AND HE WORKS FOR THE STATE OF KY FORESTRY DEPT. FIGHTING WILDFIRES AND WORKS A LOT AND IS SOMETIMES OUT OF STATE FOR 21-40 DAYS STRAIGHT SO HE'S NOT HERE MUCH TO CHECK THINGS OUT. OUR BOYS ARE ALL INTO SPORTS AND OTHER AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS YEAR ROUND WITH LOTS OF TRAVELING INVOLVED. MY CONCERN IS FROM ALL THE SUSPENSION ISSUES I'VE READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR BUT SAYS 0 WHICH DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. I WANNA BE SURE THAT MY FAMILY WILL BE SAFE WHEN IN THIS VEHICLE AND AS IF RIGHT NOW IT SURE DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT. PLEASE HELP ME FIND MORE INFO BECAUSE HITTING A POT HOLE (VERY SMALL BUMP ZERO DAMAGE) SHOULDN'T CAUSE ALL THESE PROBLEMS REQUIRING MY FAMILY TO HAVE TO SPEND A TON OF MONEY TO FIX. THIS ISN'T GOOD BUSINESS AND I WOULD HOPE CHEVROLET WOULD CARE IF THE SAFETY OF A WHOLE FAMILY WOULD BE IN JEPORADY OVER SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE THAT BY THE WAY ONLY HAS 79000 MILES ON IT. HOPE SOMEONE GETS IN CONTACT WITH ME THANKS HAVE A GREAT DAY.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE LTD, I'VE ONLY OWNED THE CAR 8 MONTHS. THE TRACTION CONTROL IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON! THE MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN APPEARS: SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRACK. AFTER, THIS HAPPENS, ANOTHER MESSAGE APPEARS REDUCING ENGINE POWER. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE AT THIS POINT THE MORE I TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE MORE THE ENGINE GOES DOWN. THIS IS SO VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THIS COULD HAPPEN WHEN I'M NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED! NORMALLY, 80% OF THE TIME I'M ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS OR I'M ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS!

I STARTED MY SUV AND PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. UPON TRYING TO TURN, NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. TRIED BRAKING SO I WOULDN'T ROLL INTO THE STREET WITH MY CHILDREN. BRAKES WERE EXTREMELY RESISTANT AND HARD TO PRESS DOWN. I THEN PUT IT INTO DRIVE TO TRY TO GET OUT OF THE STREET AND MY GAS PEDAL WAS NOT WORKING. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD, UNABLE TO STEER, AND BARELY ABLE TO BRAKE. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. TRIED AGAIN 2 MINUTES LATER, SAME PROBLEM PERSISTED. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND EXITED WHILE CAR WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. 15 MINUTES LATER THE ISSUES SEEMED TO NO LONGER BE A PROBLEM AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DRIVEWAY.

A NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT ON AN A MESSAGE DISPLAYING "REDUCED POWER ENGINE" WAS DISPLAYED. AT THE SAME TIME, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED., THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED FOR FEW SECONDS AND THEN EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. MONTHS BEFORE THE DESCRIBED INCIDENT, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET DESCRIBING THIS ISSUE AND STATING ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THIS ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS I WILL BE CHARGED ROUGHLY $150.00 TO DETECT THE ISSUE AND, IF AND ONLY IF, CERTAIN CODES WERE DISPLAYED ON THE SCAN, IT WILL BE COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SINCE IT WAS EXPENSIVE I DECIDED TO GO TO ANOTHER PLACE AND THE SCAN FOR FREE AND OBTAIN THE CODES. NO CODES WERE DISPLAYED. SINCE 4 MONTHS AGO THE ENGINE SHUTOFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING, TO START THE ENGINE IS REQUIRED TO STOP BY ANY POSSIBLE WAY, AND RESTART THE ENGINE. ONCE AGAIN, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURN AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTOFF. THIS HAD HAPPENED AT LEAST SIX TIMES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. IN ALL OF THIS INCIDENTS I CAN NOT TELL IF THE "REDUCED POWER ENGINE" MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED SINCE THE PRIORITY IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE COUPLE WEEKS AGO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS CHARGED ABOUT $150.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE FEEDBACK FROM CHEVROLET WAS THAT NOTHING WAS WITH IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS INCONCEIVABLE THAT I WAS CHARGED THAT MUCH BY CHEVROLET TO COME BACK WITH A RESPONSE THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. CHEVROLET IS WELL AWARE (THE LETTER RECEIVED IN THE PAST) THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. FURTHERMORE, THE INTERNET IS PLENTY OF PEOPLE DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE TRAVERSE. I DO NOT KNOW THE PARAMETERS OF NHTSA TO CALL WHEN SHOULD BE A RECALL , BUT BASED ON THE LETTER THAT CHEVROLET SENT, AND THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINS SUGGESTS IT MIGHT BE.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I OWN A 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE AND THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE ON MY WIFE LAST WEEKEND. THIS WAS VERY SCARY FOR HER AND MY KIDS AS THEY WERE ON A MOUNTAIN GOING INTO A CURVE. SHE LOST ALL CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKES. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS AND OR HELP FROM GM ON GETTING THIS CAR REPAIRED. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I AM JUST GLAD MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE FINE. THE OUTCOME COULD OF BEEN DIFFERENT AS THEY DESCRIBED IT TO ME. PLEASE GET BACK WITH ME ASAP ON THIS MATTER. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT, BY TOWING THIS BACK TO MY HOUSE AND TO THE SHOP IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. I THINK IT CAUSED THE MOTOR TO MESS UP AS WELL. SO, I AM LOOKING FOR HELP IN THIS MATTER. LOOKS LIKE THE DESIGN OF THIS IS QUESTIONABLE ON HOW THIS CARE WAS MADE AND CAUSES SERIOUS PROBLEMS WHEN A TIMING CHAIN GOES OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

WE BOUGHT THE 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE USED WITH 99,000 MILES ON IT. WE NOTICED THAT ON THE CAR FAX, OTHER THAN JUST ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE CAR HAD ITS FUEL TANK REPLACED. WE QUESTIONED IT, BUT DID NOT THINK WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS, AS THE CAR WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. EVERY SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WHEN WE FILL UP THE CAR, IT DOES NOT REGISTER ON THE FUEL GAUGE CORRECTLY, IF IT REGISTERS AT ALL. WE CANNOT TAKE LONG TRIPS IN THE CAR WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP EVERY SO OFTEN AND PUT GAS IN IT, AS WE DONT KNOW HOW MUCH IS IN THERE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN TO US. I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2014 VEHICLES, BUT I ALSO SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED ALOT WITH THE 2011 TRAVERSE'S, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I AM HOPING WITH THIS ADDITIONAL COMPLAINT AND ONGOING PROBLEM, THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT, IF THEY HAVENT ALREADY. I DO NOT KNOW WHO THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY VEHICLE WAS, BUT THEY OBVIOUSLY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, HENSE REPLACING THE FUEL TANK. CHEVY, PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS.
