| Feb 2020 | SERVICE BRAKES | PARKING BRAKE WOULDN'T RELEASE. SERVICE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ON. I HAD PARKED ON A SLIGHT HILL. AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS, I STARTED MY VEHICLE, PRESSED THE BUTTON, SHIFTED TO REVERSE, AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE. ODD! I LOOKED AT THE CLUSTER AND NOTICED THE 'PARK' FLASHING AND THE SERVICE PARKING BREAK LIGHT ON. I TRIED SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE MULTIPLE TIMES AND EACH TIME PUSHING THE BUTTON. NO LUCK. I LEFT MY VEHICLE AT THE LOCATION SINCE IT WAS LATE AND SAFE. THE NEXT MORNING BEFORE HAVING IT TOWED, I TRIED ONCE MORE TO PUSH THE PARKING BRAKE BUTTON AND IT SUCCESSFULLY DISENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE SERVICE LIGHT CLEARED ITSELF. I NOTICED ON A FORUM THAT 2018 TRAVERSES HAVE THIS ISSUE AND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY OR LETTING IT SIT FOR A FEW HOURS SOMETIMES RESOLVES THIS RECURRING ISSUE BUT NEVER FIXES IT. | Crash: No Fire: No | 52,180 |

A NATIONAL RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ASAP TO FIX AND REPLACE THE SHIFTER. POSES A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL SINCE IT INVOLVES A FAULTY GEAR SHIFTER. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jan 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, WITH AN ERROR WARNING US TO 'SHIFT TO PARK', WHEN IT IS ALREADY IN PARK POSITION. THIS RENDERS THE DRIVER UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND WILL LEAD TO BATTERY DRAIN. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN TO LUCAS CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON DECEMBER 31ST TO FIX THIS AND WERE MADE AWARE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, NOT YET AT THE RECALL LEVEL. IT HAS NOW BEEN A MONTH SINCE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ORDERED THE PART NEEDED TO MAKE THE REPAIR, ASSUMING THEY EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING WE WERE TOLD THE PART WOULD BE DELIVERED IN JUST A FEW DAYS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 15,000 |
| Jan 2020 | SEAT BELTS,SERVICE BRAKES | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WITHOUT THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT SECURELY LATCHED, THE HILL ASCENT AND DESCENT FUNCTION BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON AN INCLINE, THE HILL DESCENT FEATURE FAILED AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WENTWORTH MOTORS DEALER, (139 FRANKLIN ST, DANSVILLE, NY 14437, (585) 204-0905) AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FEATURE WOULD BE DISENGAGED IF THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT SECURELY FASTENED. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE FAILURE HOWEVER, TO PREVENT THE FAILURE THE SEAT BELT SHOULD BE WORN AT ALL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATE 21,958. | Crash: No Fire: No | 21,958 |
| Jan 2020 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | THE VEHICLE REGULARLY WILL NOT SHUT OFF DUE TO THE SHIFTER SENSOR INDICATING IT IS NOT IN PARK. THIS HAS AFFECTED THE ABILITY TO LOCK THE VEHICLE, AFFECTS THE BATTERY LEVEL, AND ALSO HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CAUSE INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE OPERATES AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL INSTEAD OF PARK...ALLOWING IT TO ROLL ALTHOUGH SHIFTER IS IN PARK. UPON CALLING CHEVY, THIS IS ONLY COVERED UNDER THEIR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH IS UP IN 36,000 MILES OR 3 YEARS. THIS ISSUE MOST COMMONLY OCCURS BEFORE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRES, YET IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE SHIFTER MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO THIS SENSOR FAILURE AND IS AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. ACCORDING TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ACTION TAKEN TO ADDRESS THIS INCLUDING AND NOT LIMITED TO A RECALL OF THE PART WHICH IS CLEARLY FAULTY, OR THAT IT BE COVERED IN THEIR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BEING THAT THE POWERTRAIN DOES NOT OPERATE WITHOUT THE SHIFTER-IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 52,000 |
| Jan 2020 | STEERING | I STARTED MY CAR AND IT FELT WEIRD AND MADE A STRANGE NOISE. AN ERROR MESSAGE CANDE ON SAYING 'STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED, DRIVE WITH CARE.

THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO GANDRUD CHEVROLET DEALER, (919 AUTO PLAZA DR, GREEN BAY WI 54302, (920) 309-5444) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE REPAIRS WERE UNKNOWN.

THIS HAS TO BE A RECALL OF SOME KIND! SO SCARY! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2020 | POWER TRAIN | WE WERE TRAVELING ON VACATION AND WERE 2.5 HRS AWAY FROM HOME AT THIS TIME. WE STOPPED TO PUT GAS. WHEN WE EXIT THE GAS STATION TO ENTER ENTER THE STREET (BEFORE ENTERING THE FWY), THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND WE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO APPLY ANY GEAR CHANGE. THE CAR WAS STILL ON, BUT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. NONE OF THE GEARS WERE FUNCTIONING, INCLUDING, PARKING, DRIVE, AND REVERSE. WE WERE LEFT UP HILL AND IT WAS SCARY BECAUSE EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS PLACED ON PARKING, IT WAS GOING DOWNHILL. WITHOUT PLACING THE BREAK ON THE CAR, THE CAR WOULD JUST KEEPING ROLLING DOWN. WE WERE LUCKY THAT THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOW SO WE WERE ABLE TO GUIDE THE PARK DOWN HILL WHERE THE LAND WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. MY 2018 CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THE CAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT WAS A BROKEN AXLE!! I DRIVE MY 3 Y.O. TO SCHOOL ALMOST EVERY DAY AND I DRIVE ON THE FWY TO GO TO SCHOOL ABOUT 4 TIMES A WEEK. THIS MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE CAUSED OUR AND OTHERS LIVES. MY CAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE READY ON MONDAY, BUT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. | Crash: No Fire: No | 28,000 |
| Jan 2020 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | FIRST ISSUE IS, WHEN YOU STOP DRIVING THE TRAVERSE, PLACE IT IN PARK AND HIT THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, IT WILL SHUT OFF THE ENGINE BUT NOT THE ELECTRONICS. THE CAR DISPLAYS "ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALREADY IN PARK WITH THE RED P LIT UP. YOU CANNOT TURN OFF THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU REPEATEDLY START THE VEHICLE, PLACE IT IN DRIVE THEN BACK TO PARK. EVENTUALLY IT WILL WORK CORRECTLY. VEHICLE WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. I AM JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN AS THE RECOMMENDED FIX FROM MANUFACTURER DID NOT WORK. ALL OF WHICH ARE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES DESPITE THIS BEING A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. ALSO, VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY HAVE A LONG DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHIFTS IN GEAR. YOU SHIFT TO D AND HIT THE GAS AND THE ENGINE REVS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL FINALLY START TO GO. THIS DELAY WITH ENGINE REVVING ALSO HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN AT A STOP AND ACCELERATING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND I HAVE HAD A FEW NEAR MISSES OF ALMOST BEING HIT BECAUSE OF THIS! THIS SECOND ISSUE ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN GOING FROM A STOP. | Crash: No Fire: No | 44,000 |
| Dec 2019 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD, IT APPEARED TO DISENGAGE EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER AND DASH ICON WERE SET IN "DRIVE" MODE. THERE IS ALSO AN ALARM SOUNDING WHEN I SHUT THE VEHICLE MOTOR OFF AND THE DASH SCREEN READS "SHIFT TO PARK". I FOUND THAT I NEED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND SHIFT OUT AND BACK IN TO "PARK" IN ORDER FOR THIS ALARM TO SHUT OFF. IT APPEARS THERE IS A BAD CONNECTION BETWEEN THE COMPUTER AND THE TRANSMISSION OR VISA VERSA. GM HAS ALREADY ISSUED SEVERAL TSBS RELATED TO THIS VEHICLE AS YOU MIGHT BE AWARE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 25,000 |
| Dec 2019 | POWER TRAIN | I HAVE STARTED GETTING THE ERROR MESSAGE SHIFT TO PARK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE PARK MODE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE THE ERROR IS PRESENT THE ISSUE OCCURS ON ALL SURFACES (FLAT AND SLOPED SURFACES ). THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND AFTER RESEARCH APPEARS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 40,500 |
| Nov 2019 | POWER TRAIN | TRANSMISSION - WILL NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE TRANSMISSION SHUTTER, JERKING, WILL NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. YOU CAN FEEL IT NOW UNTIL SPEEDS OF 55 MPH. SITTING A STOP LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WILL ENGAGE SPEED ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IN THE MORNING START WILL NOT ENGAGE. STOP ENGINE GOES TO AUTO-STOP. ON DASH START ENGINE. MAJOR PROBLEMS. ALREADY HAD ECM REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2019 | POWER TRAIN | STARTED GETTING A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE WHEN TRYING TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, EVEN TOUGH THE GEAR SHIFTER SHOWED BEING IN PARK. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE MOTOR WOULD TURN OFF, BUT THE ELECTRONICS IN THE CAR WOULD REMAIN ON. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS VEHICLE USES A SMART KEY WITH PUSH BUTTON IGNITION AND DOOR LOCKS. IF THE BATTERY GOES DEAD, YOU HAVE TO BREAK INTO THE VEHICLE. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE TRAVERSE. THE SHOP FOREMAN AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. THE GEAR SHIFTER (ALSO ELECTRIC) HAD FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED BY CHEVROLET. | Crash: No Fire: No | 48,000 |
