| May 2019 | POWER TRAIN | I HAD STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET. THE AUTO STOP WAS ON (STOPS THE ENGINE IDLING) AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO GO AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD, THEN DO NOTHING, LURCH FORWARD, THEN NOTHING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT IT INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND TURNED IT OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND THEN I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT THE CAR, SAID IT WAS A "KNOWN ISSUE" IN CARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEAR, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT YET. THEY TOLD ME THEY CLEARED THE ERROR CODES AND TO KEEP DRIVING IT AND LET THEM KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I SAID I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT IT DOING AGAIN AND ME POSSIBLY BEING HIT BY SOMEONE WHO EXPECTED MY CAR TO MOVE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY OTHER CHOICE WAS NOT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL THE SOFTWARE FIX WAS AVAILABLE; HOWEVER, THEY COULD PROVIDE NO TIMEFRAME ON WHEN OR IF A FIX WOULD BE AVAILABLE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 21,000 |
| May 2019 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | IN EARLY APRIL 2019, APPROXIMATELY THE FIRST WEEK OF APRIL, I WAS DRIVING THE TRAVERSE ON A HILL AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I ATTEMPTED TO STEP ON THE GAS AND PULL FORWARD, BUT THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE IF I WAS IN REVERSE, BUT THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. THIS SPECIFIC INCIDENT OCCURRED A TOTAL OF TWO TIMES. ON APRIL 23, 2019 AROUND 9:40 AM I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THIS TRIP. I WAS NOT SURE IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO MAKE IT TO MY FINAL DESTINATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ON APRIL 24, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR SHOWED 4 'CODES'. P0011 'A' CAMSHAFT POSITION ' TIMING OVER-ADVANCED OR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BANK 1 P0014 'B' CAMSHAFT POSITION ' TIMING OVER-ADVANCED OR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BANK 1 P0021 'A' CAMSHAFT POSITION ' TIMING OVER-ADVANCED OR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BANK 2 P0024 'B' CAMSHAFT POSITION ' TIMING OVER-ADVANCED OR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BANK 2 THESE CODES REPRESENTED A SOFTWARE PROBLEM RELATED TO THE ENGINE. TIM INFORMED ME THAT ACCORDING TO THE GM BULLETIN (PIP5568E OR DOCUMENT ID# 5251270), THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO DELETE THE CODES AND THAT THERE IS NOT A SOFTWARE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE SYMPTOMS I WAS EXPERIENCING RELATED TO THE CODES HE DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE GM BULLETIN AND HE WOULD BE ESCALATING THE ISSUE TO THE GM DISTRICT MANAGER. THE ULTIMATE RESULT IS THAT THEY WANT TO DELETE THE CODES AND HAVE ME COME PICK UP THE CAR AS THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME. | Crash: No Fire: No | 8,126 |
| May 2019 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | ON A NORMAL SUNNY AFTERNOON AFTER ABOUT DRIVING FOR 20 OR SO MILES, WE WERE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO START SLIGHTLY JERKING AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP. ONCE STOPPED THE STOP/START FUNCTION OPERATED. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE TO ACCELERATE THRU THE INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING AND LURCHING UNCONTROLLABLY THEN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DARK. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF THE LINE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC, I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TRY THE START BUTTON. THANKFULLY THE VEHICLE STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON BUT THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE RUNNING NORMAL AGAIN AND WE WERE ABLE TO PROCEED. THIS WAS VERY UPSETTING AND DANGEROUS AS IT OCCURRED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY (I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED 2 WEEKS PRIOR, THIS WAS ONLY MY 2ND TIME DRIVING IT AND I HAD ONLY PUT 70 MILES ON IT IN THE 2 WEEKS I HAD IT). THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROX. 25,600. THE HARD CODE THE DEALER RETRIEVED NOTED A CAMSHAFT SENSOR ISSUE. THE SENSOR WAS NOTREPLACED, I WAS TOLD THAT GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL BUT THEY ARE NOT SURE WHEN. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER PROGRAM ISSUE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE AS THEY SAID THE ISSUE MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. ONSTAR SENT ME AN EMAIL NOTIFYING ME THAT MY 2018 CHEV TRAVERSE HAD AND ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ASAP . THANK YOU ONSTAR, I AM VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IT WAS ALREADY AT THE DEALER BUT I APPRECIATE THAT YOU ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HOPING GM DOES SOMETHING VERY SOON, THIS IS A $50,000 VEHICLE WITH ONLY 25K MILES ON IT AND IT IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 25,600 |
| Apr 2019 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN FILLING AS IF TANK WAS FULL. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A FILL UP, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT OCCUR. DEALER STATED THERE WAS GAS IN THE VENT LINE AND CHARCOAL CANISTER, AND THAT THE TANK HAD TO HAVE BEEN OVERFILLED. DEALER ASK STATED THEY BLEW OUT THE LINES AND CANISTER AS A COURTESY, AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, WE WILL BE EXPECTED TO PAY TO REPLACE THE VENT LINE AND CANISTER. WE HAVE NEVER OVER FILLED THE FUEL TANK. AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF WE STOP. IF THERE IS FUEL IN THE VENT LINE AND CANISTER, THERE MUST BE A MISSING/DEFECTIVE PART IN OUR FUEL SYSTEM, EITHER ALLOWING FUEL IN, OR DELAYING FUEL CUTOFF UNTIL IT IS OVERFILLED. I FILLED UP ON 4/28/19, THE FIRST TIME AFTER THE SERVICE, AND THE PUMP STOPPED ERRONEOUSLY 6 TIMES BEFORE FILLING UP THE FINAL 4.5 GALLONS WITHOUT STOPPING UNTIL FULL. | Crash: No Fire: No | 7,000 |
| Apr 2019 | ENGINE | TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, CAR STARTED EXCESSIVELY JERKING AND STALLING (VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHILE TURNING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT) TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP AND SAID GM DOES NOT HAVE A 'FIX' FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION. THERE ARE 'CONCERNS WITH ALL 4 OR PAIRS OF CAMSHAFT POSITION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DCTS P0011 P0014 P0021 AND P0024. DEALERSHIP CLEARED CODES AND WE WERE TOLD 'CHANCES ARE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN' | Crash: No Fire: No | 10,000 |
| Apr 2019 | POWER TRAIN | AS I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO TO TURN GREEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATED AND THE VECHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND LERCH FORWARD AND WOULD NOT ADVANCE ALMOST AS AS IT WAS LOSING POWER OR NOT RESPODING TO THE GAS PEDAL. VERY SCARY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE TAKEN MY SUV IN SEVERAL TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOW REPAIR YET ISSUED BY GM. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN SEPT 2018 AND STARTED HAVING ISSUED JUST MONTHS AFTER. THIS IS SCARY AND UNSAFE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 12,000 |
| Apr 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT BROKE OFF. WHILE DRIVING. IN TRAFFIC. | Crash: No Fire: No | 10,000 |
| Apr 2019 | POWER TRAIN | WHILE DRIVING MY TRAVERSE TODAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT TWICE, THEN WHILE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO THE SUICIDE LANE ON A 4 LANE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OVER REV RED LINING AS IF IT COULDN'T CHANGE GEARS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE WITH 16,000 MILES ON IT. ON ARRIVAL AT DEALERSHIP I INQUIRED IF THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED THEY HAD TWO OF THE SAME YEAR MODEL AND MAKE CARS THAT HAD REPAIRS COMPLETED DUE TO A STRIKINGLY SIMILAR ISSUE. I'M REQUESTING THIS BE REVIEWED OR INVESTIGATED AS THERE ARE ALSO REPORTS ON FORUMS ACROSS THE INTERNET OF OTHER 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE BETWEEN 10,000 AND 20,000 MILES MEANING IT MAY BE A LARGER SCALE ISSUE THE CONSUMERS ARE FACING AND THE MANUFACTURER IS PUTTING US AT UNDO RISK BY NOT ISSUING A RECALL OR NOTICE REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION MANY OF US SPENT $45,000 OR MORE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 16,000 |
| Mar 2019 | POWER TRAIN | WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT LEVEL SURFACE THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. I PULLED OVER SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT CORRECTED ITSELF. THE NEXT DAY AFTER PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST. I TRIED PUTTING IT IN L AND MANUALLY SHIFTING AND IT STILL WOULDN'T LEAVE 1ST. THIS IS A DIRECT SAFETY ISSUE AS IT DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING. IT JERKS THE VEHICLE AND IF AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER EXPERIENCES THIS IT WILL BE FATAL. | Crash: No Fire: No | 20,160 |
| Mar 2019 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | VEHICLE TURNED OFF DURING OPERATION. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 45 MPH ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AND TURNED OFF.

| Feb 2019 | POWER TRAIN | ON FREEWAY AT 75MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, EVERY TIME IT GOES UPHILL THERE IS A CONSTANT SURGING FEEL LIKE IT WANTS TO SHIFT FROM 8TH TO 9TH GEAR BUT IT DOESN'T SHIFT DOWN AND KEEPS SURGING. I SUSPECT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR SOMETHING RELATED TO THE COMPUTERS AND HOW THEY DETERMINE WHEN TO SHIFT WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. | Crash: No Fire: No | 65,000 |
| Jan 2019 | POWER TRAIN | WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE DRIVE "D" INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD FLASH. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE AND ON MORE THEN 1 OCCASION, THE CAR JERKED FORWARD. SOME OCCASIONS I WOULD HAVE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER AROUND A DOZEN TIMES TRYING TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH NO LUCK. DEALER BELIEVES THEY KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY HARD CODES WITH THE OBD2 TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE REPAIRS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 779 |
| Jan 2019 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ONE WHILE ON A HIGHWAY GOING AROUND 65 MPH. THE OTHER OCCASION WAS WHILE GOING AROUND 45-65 MPH ON A CITY ROAD. THE DISPLAY SCREEN IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER FLASHED ON AND OFF FOR AROUND 10-20 MINUTES. WHILE THE SCREEN WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF, THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT CHANGE ANY OF THE MENU SCREENS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A SOFT CODE AND NOT A HARD CODE, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. | Crash: No Fire: No | 9,808 |
| Jan 2019 | ENGINE | WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE AUTO STOP ENGAGED AS USUAL. HOWEVER, UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE TO PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT WOULD NOT RUN PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH/JERK FORWARD THEN LOSE POWER OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT FELT LIKE WE WOULD GET WHIPLASHED FROM THE MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF OF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT IN ORDER TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP FOR ADVICE. THEY ADVISED TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT IN ORDER TO RESET THE SYSTEMS. WHILE THIS RESTORED THE ABILITY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL BE GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN 3 DAYS (THE EARLIEST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT) TO BE EVALUATED. | Crash: No Fire: No | 8,900 |
| Jan 2019 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO JOE BOWMAN CHEVROLET CADILLAC (2455 E MARKET ST, HARRISONBURG, VA 22801, (540) 434-6731) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS DAMAGED. WHILE PERFORMING THE REPAIR, THE DEALER FRACTURED THE TUBE THAT CONNECTED THE FUEL PUMP TO THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THERE WERE THREE MORE FAILURES WITH THE FUEL PUMP THAT WERE CURRENTLY LINKED TO THE ENGINE. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE TUBE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 15,000 |

| Dec 2018 | SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE | OVER TWO DOZEN AREAS ON THE POWDER COATED SUB FRAME AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS HAVE RUSTY WELD BEADS WITH FLAKING PAINT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION AND FILED A CLAIM WITH CHEVROLET. CHEVROLET SAID THE RUST IS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" AND NO REPAIR WOULD BE COMPLETED.
