| Aug 2019 | ENGINE | I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY 2018 TRAVERSE SINCE DECEMBER. THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 9,000 MILES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I WOULD PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND THE "D" LIGHT WOULD BLINK BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IN MARCH AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FINALLY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THEY REMOVED THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED A SENSOR. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES UNTIL JULY 23RD WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD THE CAR GOT STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY REPLACED THE TCM AND SOLENOID SENSOR. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON 8/8 ONLY TO RETURN ON 8/15 WHEN THE CAR STALLED AND JERKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ON 8/16 I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME CHEVROLET ADVISED THEM TO CLEAR THE CODE AND RETURN THE VEHICLE TO ME.

| Aug 2019 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | BEGAN 6/19, WITH PROGRESSIVE WORSENING. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED INTO PARK AND SHUT-OFF, A WARNING APPEARS ON THE INFO DISPLAY STATING" SHIFT TO PARK". AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE KEEPS ALL LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ILLUMINATED, THE AC STAYS ON, THE RADIO/ENTERTAINMENT DISPLAY STAYS ON, IN ADDITION TO A WARNING BEEP/CHIME THAT IS TYPICAL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LEFT "ON" AND YOU OPEN THE DOOR. IN OTHER WORDS, OUR VEHICLE STILL THINKS IT IS "ON" AND "IN" GEAR. IN THE BEGINNING IT WOULD TAKE 2-5 TIMES OF TURNING THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND OFF IN ORDER FOR THE WARNING TO GO AWAY AND THE VEHICLE TO SHUT-OFF PROPERLY. NOW, IT WILL NO LONGER SHUT-OFF REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES THE ENGINE IS RESTARTED AND THE STICK-SHIFT IS MOVED OUT OF PARK & BACK. HAVE RESORTED TO UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY EVERY TIME WE EXIT THE VEHICLE TO KEEP IT FROM BEING DRAINED. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO NOT RE-STARTED AT ALL(TAKING 15 MINUTES OF RE-ENGAGING THE STARTER BUTTON AT ITS WORST). LEAVING MY WIFE & TODDLERS STUCK IN 100PLUS DEGREE HEAT. WHEN IT DOES NOT RE-START, THE DASH DISPLAY READS THE VEHICLE AT "0 MPH" AND ALLOWS THE GEARS TO BE SHIFTED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE STATING SIMILAR ISSUES. SOME HAVE RESOLVED WITH A CHANGE OF THE SHIFTER MECHANISM, & OTHERS STILL WITH CONTINUED ISSUES AFTER THAT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE IS ONLY 1 PART LEFT IN TOWN, AND THAT IT IS ON BACK-ORDER AND THEY CAN'T GET IT FROM THE MANUFACTURER(THEY TRIED THEIR TWO NATIONWIDE WAREHOUSE LOCATIONS). NOT ONLY THAT, THE DEALERSHIP SAID WE NEEDED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THEM AND THEY WOULD NOT EVEN "LOOK AT IT" FOR UP TO 1.5 WEEKS, AND THAT THEY WERE OUT OF LOANER VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND WAS PURCHASED CERTIFIED-USED. NOTHING HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT/STOP-SIGN, BUT WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT "COULD" HAPPEN. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jul 2019 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I WAS DRIVING MY CAR, STRAIGHT, DOWN OUR ROAD AT ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO SHUDDER, LOOSE POWER AND THEN THEN ENGINE STALLED (LOST STEERING ABILITY AND ENGINE PROPULSION). IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, WHILE MAKING A LEFT HANDE TURN, IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. | Crash: No Fire: No | 34,000 |
| Jul 2019 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | ISSUE 1 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 THE SHIFTER IS 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. IT ALSO SEEMS TO CLEAR IF I SHIFT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO L THEN BACK TO PARK. ISSUE 2 RANDOMLY (BUT OFTEN) WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE AND SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE THERE IS A LONG DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHIFTS IN GEAR. YOU SHIFT TO D AND HIT THE GAS AND THE ENGINE REVS LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL. LOOKING AT THE DISPLAY THE D KEEPS FLASHING THEN EVENTUALLY IT WILL STOP FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE WILL GO IN GEAR. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. | Crash: No Fire: No | 27,000 |
| Jul 2019 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION IS LAGGING. IT SOMETIMES WON'T GO WHEN IN DRIVE AND GIVEN GAS. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP BUT WON'T MOVE. IT SHIFTS HARD AS WELL. THE SHIFT TO PARK INDICATOR COMES ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND NOT MOVING. THE RADIO SCREEN SOMETIMES WON'T TURN OFF OR ON, LIKE IT'S FROZE. WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ALL POWER IS OFF, I CAN WALK IN THE HOUSE AND ABOUT 4 MINUTES LATER MY RADIO COMES ON BY ITSELF. EVEN IF THE RADIO IS POWERED OFF. THE VOLUME WILL ONLY GO UP TO 32-36, AS FAR AS SOUND, WHILE THE RADIO SCREEN SHOWS 63. IT'S NOT LOUD AT ALL! WHEN I TURN THE VOLUME BUTTON DOWN, THE RADIO INCREASES VOLUME BUT STILL ISN'T AS LOUD AS BEFORE. IT HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S VERY UPSETTING. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO PUT IN THE SHOP TO REPLACE ONE FAULTY PART ALREADY. | Crash: No Fire: No | 27,000 |
