I HAVE POWER STEERING FAILURE WITH 91000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE TSB FOR THIS ISSSUE WOULD COST ME ABOUT 1300 DOLLARS.. SINCE THERE IS WHINE EVIDENT AND THE PITCH CHANGES WITH VEHICLE SPEED. AT IDLE, YOU NEED TO BE LIKE A GORILLA TO TURN THE WHEEL, BUT ONCE YOU GAS IT, SOME ASSIST IS PROVIDED, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. A/C LINE FROM COMPRESSOR TO CONDENSOR BROKEN,,, $700.00. WATER PUMP LEAKING,,, DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. STEERRING WHEEL SHIMMY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS SINCE ABOUT 20K MILE, " NO PROBLEM FOUND" EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY NEVER SEEM TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. .DRIVE SHAFT SEAL LEAKING. WARANTY COVERED THAT ONE.THIS IS OUR SECOND TRAVERSE.. OUR 2009 WITH 6300 MILES HAD A VERY ROUGH IDLE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.CALLED ONSTAR FOR DIAG. THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE FAULTS, BUT COULD NOT GET SPECIFIC RESULTS FOR SOME REASON. THETY ASKED IF I NEEDE A TOW, BUT THE DEALER WAS ONLY 2 MILES FROM ME, I STARTED TO DRIVE THERE. AT THE LAST LIGHTS BEFORE TURNING INTO THE SHOP, IT APPEARRED AS THOUGH I HAD AN ENGINE FIRE AND COULD NOT EVEN SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. WAS TOLD THAT THE COIL FEEL OUT OF BRACKET ON FIRE WALL AND DROPPED ONTO EXHAUST.. SINCE WHEN DOES THIS CAR HAVE A COIL ON THE FIRE WALL. THEN I FOUND OUT THE REAL ISSUE. ON OF THE PISTONS WAS DISINAGRATED AND COMPLETLY GONE. CHEVY WANTED TO REPAIR THE TRAVERSE. EVERY COMPUTER COMPONENT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THEY STARTED THE WORK AND ORDERED ALL THE PARTS . AFTER 30 DAYS WERNT BY AND THEY STILL HAD NO ENGINE FRON CHEVY, I CALLED THEM ON LEMON LAW. THEY TOOK POSSESION OF OUR 09 AND REPLACED IT WITH A 2010. WE HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR ABOUT 1100 DOLLARS AND ALSO WERE DENIED THE INTERIOR PROTECTIO PACKAGE THAT WE PURCHASED WITH OUR 09. LOSS OF 1300. I HAVE A VERY POOR OPINION OF CHEVY'S RECENT PRODUCTS AND WE HAVE BEEN A CHEVY FAMILY FOR 4 DIFFERENT . LOOSING FAITH. *TR
