| May 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF THE CAR, 80% OF THE TIME THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REGISTER THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF. IT WOULD ALARM & CHARM WITH A MESSAGE TO "SHIFT TO PARK". THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING ISSUES WITH THE CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, GMC ACADIAS, AND POSSIBLY OTHER MODELS OF CHEVY/GMC. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS TRULY IN PARK AND CAN LEAVE YOU IN SCARY SITUATIONS WHEN YOU CANNOT TURN OFF THE CAR. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY BECAUSE THE "SHIFT TO PARK" CHIME AND MESSAGE DRAINED THE BATTERY. CHEVROLET HAS PROVIDED THEIR DEALERSHIPS WITH BULLETINS IN HOW TO ADD A JUMPER HARNESS AND ADD/REPLACE A SWITCH IN THE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, BUT REFUSE TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE SERVICE ADVISORS ADMIT THEY HAVE HAD TO FIX NUMEROUS GEAR SHIFTERS AND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANYONE AFFECTED. PLEASE ADDRESS! I AM INCLUDING MY RECEIPT ON THE SERVICE I HAD TO PAY FOR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

| Dec 2020 | POWER TRAIN | I HAVE HAD TWO MAJOR ISSUES. FIRST IS THE WHOLE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE THAT YOU HAVE TO VIGOROUSLY WIGGLE THE TRANSMISSION LEVER TO GET TO GO AWAY SO YOU MAY EXIT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALER FOR IT ONCE ALREADY AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE WIREING HARNESS. THIS DID NOTHING. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND I HAD THAT DONE AT ABOUT 35,000 MILES BUT IT NEVER COMPLETELY WENT AWAY. NOW I AM AT 50,000 MILES AND FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE BEEN NOTICING TERRIBLE HIGH PITCH NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE BAD ROAD NOISE BUT ITS COMING FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN. SO FAR IT HAS SEEMED TO HAPPEN MOSTLY AROUND THE 72 TO 78 MPH RANGE ON THE HWY. AS SOON AS YOU LET OFF THE GAS THE NOISE GOES AWAY BUT 50% OF THE TIME THE NOISE COMES BACK WHEN YOU REAPPLY THE GAS. SOMETIMES IT TAKES DRASTICALLY CHANGING SPEED AND THEN TRYING TO GET BACK TO NORMAL. MY FAMILY AND I TRAVEL A LOT. THAT'S WHY WE GOT THE TRAVERSE AND OTHERWISE HAVE LOVED IT! BUT I AM SO VERY SCARRED THAT MY FAMILY WILL GET STRANDED IN BUSY AND DANGEROUS TRAFFIC. | Crash: No Fire: No | 48,000 |
| Dec 2020 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE GEARS ARE GRINDING AND THE CAR IS BREAKING HARDER THAN I AM APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND I CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE SHUTTERING AND GRINDING TO A STOP THROUGH THE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE DOES STOP, BUT A WARNING THEN DISPLAYS ON THE DASH "BRAKE ASSIST ACTIVATED". THIS WARNING DISPLAYS EVERYTIME THE BRAKES ARE USED. ONLY HAVE DISABLING THE FORWARD COLLISION BREAK ASSIST DOES THE VEHICLE THEN DRIVE NORMAL. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED TWICE NOW ONCE IN TOWN DRIVING 30-40 MILES AN HOUR AND ANOTHER STOPPING COMING UP TO A LIGHT AT INTERSECTION. | Crash: No Fire: No | 46,900 |
| Dec 2020 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO RELEASE FROM PARK INTO DRIVE. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING 70-85 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO WILSON CHEVROLET (4850 W 6TH AVE, STILLWATER, OK 74074, (877) 526-5255) TO BE DIAGNOSED.

| Nov 2020 | AIR BAGS | ON 9/16, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH LEAD TO MY CAR BEING TOTALED FROM APPX $30,000 IN DAMAGE. TRAFFIC CAME TO A STOP ON THE INTERSTATE AND I ENDED UP REAR ENDING A CAR WHICH CAUSED THE FOLLOWING DAMAGE: ENGINE WAS RIPPED FROM MOTOR MOUNTS AND SHOVED INTO FIREWALL, CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK, WHOLE FRONT END OF CAR WAS DAMAGED INCLUDING SIDE FENDERS AND DRIVERS DOOR UNABLE TO OPEN SMOOTHLY, CRUSHED A/C COMPRESSOR, AND MANY OTHER ITEMS UNDER THE HOOD. (I HAVE MORE PICTURES FROM THE COLLISION CENTER UPON REQUEST). WITH THE SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE, THERE IS NO DOUBT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG WENT OFF IN THIS VEHICLE. I CAN PROVIDE ESTIMATES FROM THE COLLISION CENTER WITH ALL ITEMS DAMAGED ALONG WITH PICTURES. I WOULD HAVE ATTACHED BUT SIZE LIMITS PREVENT ME. I'M LUCKY I WAS NOT INJURED BUT SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT NOT BE AS FORTUNATE AS MYSELF. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | 57,624 |
| Nov 2020 | POWER TRAIN | SHIFT TO PARK COMES ON WHEN PUT IN PARK. WON'T TURN OFF OR DINGS WHEN GET OUT BUT EVERYTHING IS STILL POWERED AND BEEPS AT YOU WHEN YOU TRY TO GET OUT. I TOOK IN AND SUPPOSEDLY DEALERSHIP FIXED WITH A NEW HARNESS BUT IT STILL DOES IT 2HOURS OUT OF THE SHOP. NOT SAFE COULD ROLL BACKWARDS AND KILL SOMEONE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 24,000 |
| Oct 2020 | POWER TRAIN | WE PURCHASED THIS SUV LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO AND AT ABOUT 50K MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHUTTERING WHILE DRIVING. FINALLY WE WERE OUT AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE THEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE WERE STUCK. TOOK DIRECTLY TO DEALER AFTER THREE WEEKS OF NO RESPONSE FROM THE LOCAL DEALER NOR CHEVROLET THEY FINALLY SAID THAT THEY THOUGHT THE VALVE BODY AND TORQUE CONVERTER WERE BAD. WE WISH WE NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. CHEVROLET DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND THAT THEIR 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANYTHING OTHER THAN GM VEHICLES AND I PROMISED THEM THIS WOULD BE MY LAST AND THEY DIDN'T CARE. SHE TOLD ME WELL WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 50,000 |
| Oct 2020 | SERVICE BRAKES | REPORTED BRAKES SQUEAKING IN DECEMBER OF 2019. NOW BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES SQUEAKING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES NOW. THEY STATE IT'S NOISE, NOT A BRAKE WEAR ISSUE. OUR NEIGHBORS ALSO HAVE A 2018 ARCADIA WHICH DOES THE SAME SQUEAKING AS OURS BOTH WHEN YOU FIRST START THE VEHICLE OR APPLY ANY TRACTION SUCH AS GOING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, SLOW BREAKING OR DRIVING AND BRAKES ON A LOW MPH SPEED. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | BOUGHT 2018 NEW. TWO DAYS AFTER DRIVING OFF LOT PASSENGER SEAT MELTED ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CAUSING SEAT FAILURE. GM FIXED FOUR DAYS LATER DRIVER SEAT SAME THING. WEEK LATER HEADLIGHT CONNECTION MELTED AND HAD TO BE FIXED SPENT A WEEK IN SHOP. STARTED CLAIM AT GM TO TAKE CAR BACK AFTER A MONTH OF RUN AROUND AND STALLING THEY OFFERED ME $250 IN ACCESSORIES AND DROPPED THE PROBLEM AS IT IS ALL FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DIAGNOSTIC BLOCK UNDER THE DASH MELTED SO THEY COULDN'T USE IT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. MOST RECENT THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT FAILED AND IT WAS BECAUSE THE CONNECTION MELTED AND THE LIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED. A WEEK AFTER THAT I WAS DRIVING ON I75 AND HEARD AN EXPLOSION AND THE RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT WAS BLOWN OUT OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE CONNECTION WAS MELTED AND THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE 29 SEPT 20 AND TODAY IS 7 OCT20 THE CAR HAS ONLY 21700 MILES ON IT. I HAVE AGAIN CALLED GM AND STARTED AGAIN THAT THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS AS THOSE LIGHTS ARE LED LOW VOLTAGE SO WHAT IS CAUSING THIS SURGE OF HIGH VOLTAGE AND NO ANSWER. ALL REPAIR RECORDS ARE AT THE DEALER AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE 6 ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN TWO YEARS BUT GM HAS DECIDED TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY. IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE CALLING GM AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS RESOLVED AS YET. | Crash: No Fire: No | 21,700 |
| Oct 2020 | POWER TRAIN,SEAT BELTS | CHEVY STATES OPEN RECALL N192223110 AND N192266190 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2020 | POWER TRAIN | WE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHEN STATIONARY IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS (IE GROCERY STORE, DRIVEWAY, GARAGE, PARKING LOT AT SCHOOL/WORK SEVERAL LOCATIONS). WE HAD TO REPEATEDLY SHIFT INTO A GEAR EITHER REVERSE OR DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES ON EACH OCCURRENCE, AS YOU COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS FRUSTRATION WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SELECTING A GEAR REPEATEDLY. ONE CAN SOMETIMES STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR RESULTING IN A LEARCH FORWARD OR BACKWARD DEPENDING UPON THE GEAR SELECTED. NOT BEING ABLE TO SWITCH THE VEHICLE OFF CREATES ADDITIONAL ISSUES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED WITH EXHAUST EMISSIONS. WE DID NOT ALLOW GRAND CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE DISAPPEARED. NOT KNOWING WHAT THE VEHICLE'S SELECTOR WAS POSITONED IN. NEXT WAS THE SERVICE REPAIR AS IT RESULTED IN A SHIFTER REPLACEMENT AND WAS CLAIMED NOT TO BE COVERED UNDER THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY AND REPAIRS RESULTED IN A $536.54 BILL. IT SEEMS FUNNY THE SERVICE TECH WRITERS KNEW WHAT WAS BEING DESCRIBED EVEN BEFORE COMPLETING THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE. THEIR COMMENT WAS SHIFT TO PARK WARNING. THE SERVICE TECH MENTIONED THERE WERE A COUPLE REPAIR SERVICE BULLETINS THAT MENTIONED A EASY FIX AND THE OTHER A SHIFTER REPLACEMENT. OURS BEING THE LATER OF THE TWO. THE SERVICE TECHS ALSO MENTIONED THIS IS PREVALENT IN SOME OTHER MODELS. THIS ISSUE IT WOULD SEEM IS AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT WAITING TO OCCUR! THIS OCCURED SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO REPAIR ON 08/12/2020 I HAVE THE REPAIR WORK ORDER AVAILABLE. IT SHOWS MY NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, AND EMAIL ADDRESS ON IT SO I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UPLOAD A COPY. | Crash: No Fire: No | 48,477 |
