| 2009 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | VEHICLE SEEMS TO HESITATE ALSO STALLING WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS (FEELS LIKE A MISS IN THE ENGINE) RPM DROP ABOUT 500 - 700 RPMS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT ALSO FEELS LIKE THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP IS ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING NOT SURE IF THE NEW TRANSMISSIONS HAVE THAT ANYMORE. HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP LAST MONTH REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION TO ELIMINATE THE HARD SHIFTING PROBLEM WITH A BULLETIN ISSUED FROM CHEVROLET . |
| 2010 | STEERING | NOTIFICATION THAT WAS SENT TO CHEVORLET'S WEB SITE I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2010 TRAVERSE. TOOK IT ON THE TYPICAL TWO MILE TEST DRIVE FOUND NO ISSUES. AFTER OWNING IT NOW FOR SEVERAL MONTHS I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING FAILING. IT IS USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN TURNING IN DRIVEWAY OR PARKING LOTS. TODAY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF SHARP CURVE, LOW SPEED, APPROX. 35 MPH, AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT JUST AS ANOTHER CAR WAS COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I WAS ABLE TO REACT PROPERLY AND KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROADWAY. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WHO IS JUST LEARNING TO DRIVE WOULD NOT HAVE REACTED PROPERLY IN THAT SITUATION AND PEOPLE COULD BE SERIOUS INJURED AND/OR KILLED. MY OTHER CONCERN IS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, ACCORDING TO NHTSA WEB SITE AND MANY OTHER TRAVERSE OWNERS WEB FORUMS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE STEERING SYSTEM AND THIS IS MY FAMILY'S PRIMARY VEHICLE. I'M LEFT WITH PUTTING MONEY OVER SAFETY. PLEASE DOCUMENT THIS COMPLAINT. *TR |
