| 2010 | STEERING | JUST DAYS AFTER PURCHASING A USED 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH ABOUT 52,000 MILES, THE STEERING LOCKED WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO WORK. THEN IN NOVEMBER THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE. IT OCCURRED DURING IDLING AS WELL AS DURING ACCELERATION. TURNING BECAME MORE DIFFICULT AND THE NOISE CORRESPONDED TO ACCELERATING, TURNING AND SLOWING DOWN. IT WENT TO THE CHEVY SERVICE STATION ON 12/20/13. THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I PICKED THE CAR UP ON 12/24/13 AND IT SOUNDED THE SAME. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD GET BETTER IN A FEW DAYS AFTER THE AIR LEFT THE NEW PUMP. THE CAR DID NOT GET BETTER AND CONTINUED TO SOUND TERRIBLE. IT WAS ALSO SHAKING AND WAS SCARY TO DRIVE IN. IT WENT BACK TO THE SHOP ON 12/30/13. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RACK, PIN AND HOSE SO FAR. AS OF 1/8/13 THEY CAN NOT FIX THE CAR. THE MECHANICS SAY THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE GM HOTLINE AND ARE AT A LOSS AS TO WHY IT WON'T STOP MAKING THE NOISE OR DRIVING CORRECTLY. *TR |
| 2010 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND GAS PEDAL STUCK AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND BEGIN TRYING TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE. AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITY, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. WHILE KEEPING BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO REV RPMS AT THE EQUIVALENT OF ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR. I USED MY RIGHT HAND TO PULL THE ACCELERATOR UP AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO A NORMAL IDLE. I NOTICED NO EVIDENCE OF THE FLOOR MAT BEING ON THE ACCELERATOR OR IN A POSITION TO CAUSE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OR THE CONTINUED ENGINE RAPID RPMS. THE SAME DAY, THE ACCELERATOR STUCK A SECOND TIME AND REQUIRED ME TO PULL THE GAS PEDAL UP IN ORDER TO GET THE ENGINE TO RETURN TO NORMAL RPMS. *TR |
