I WAS DRIVING THE CHEVY TRAVERSE ON A 1 WAY STREET AT ABOUT 35 MPH..WHEN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR LERCHED TO THE LEFT..DRIVER HAD 0 CONTROL OVER THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE...THE CAR DROVE US HEAD ON INTO AN OAK TREE..THE ONLY REASON WE WERE NOT KILLED IS THAT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED OR I WOULD NOT BE TYPING THIS NOW...WHILE RESEARCHING THIS I FOUND MANY OTHER TRAVERSES THAT WERE ALSO BUILT IN VIRGINIA AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM..I ALSO KNOW GM WAS CLASS ACTIONED SUED FOR THIS ISSUE IN 2012...NEED TO BE SUED AGAIN...

I was driving along the highway way at 60-65 mph when suddenly service traction control came on and vehicle started jerking and slowing down. As I tried to accelerate it continued to jerk and then just shut off completely. I hit the guard rail/ jersey wall on the drivers side because I had no control of the vehicle due to the vehicle shutting down. Upon taking it to the dealer after getting it home they stated it could be the junction box which is a known issue but they don’t see anything wrong with it and can’t duplicate the problem. I’ve contacted various mechanics and get that it’s an electrical issue that Chevrolet is aware of but refuses to place a recall for it. I could have gotten seriously injured if not killed by this problem and safety issue.

I had a major accident on Thursday, 10/14/2021 where I was it on my drivers side with the other party hitting me around 50-55mph. When the crash occurred, none of the airbags deployed. My side airbag should have deployed. That is a major safety issue, and I might not have hit my head or the steering wheel had they deployed.

ON FEBRUARY 14 2019, I WENT OUTSIDE TO WARM UP MY CAR. 10 MINUTES LATER WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL PARKED THE WHOLE ENGINE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. NO RECENT WORK HAD BEEN DONE TO THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WORK EVER DONE IN THE 4 YEARS I OWNED IT WERE, NEW TIRES, NEW BATTERY (IN THE BACK SEAT) AND OIL CHANGES.

THE SEAT BELT ANCHORS ON THE 2ND ROW BENCH SEAT HAVE INJURED SEVERAL OF MY PASSENGERS, INCLUDING MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. I'VE ONLY OWNED CAR FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR A LOVE IT, EXCEPT FOR THIS HUGE PROBLEM. THE ANCHORS ARE NON-BENDABLE AND ARE JUST TOO LONG AND RIGID. WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO SIT OR SCOOT OVER, THEY HAVE BEEN INJURED AND COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK ITS AN ISSUE WITH THE PERSONS SIZE, BECAUSE BOTH SLIM AND LARGE FRAMED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED BY THESE ANCHORS IN MY CAR. MY SON IS ONLY 120 LBS AND GOT A HUGE BRUISE FROM ACCIDENTALLY SITTING DOWN TOO QUICKLY. JUST RECENTLY, WE RECENTLY TOOK A ROAD TRIP AND HE BRUISED HIS TAILBONE FROM THE ANCHOR PRESSING UP AGAINST HIM WHILE HE SLEPT. MY NIECE WAS IN HER CAR SEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF 2ND ROW SO HE ONLY HAD SO MUCH ROOM. I HAVE PERSONALLY INJURED MYSELF WHEN CLEANING OUT MY CAR. AT LEAST 8-10 PEOPLE (KIDS AND ADULT FRIENDS) HAVE BEEN INJURED (TEMPORARILY) AND COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT THESE SEAT BELT ANCHORS BEING A NUISANCE AND UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THEIR TRAVEL. THIS MAKES ME FEEL BAD BECAUSE I CHOSE THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF VEHICLE SO I COULD TRAVEL WITH MORE PEOPLE, BUT KNOWING THAT THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE DEFEATS THE PURPOSE, ESPECIALLY FOR LONG TRIPS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A HUGE DESIGN FLAW THAT SOMEHOW FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS AND IS DEFINITELY AND ISSUE PER THE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS FOUND ONLINE. EITHER THE ANCHORS NEED TO BE SHORTENED OR THEY NEED TO BE DESIGNED LIKE THE MAJORITY OF OTHER CARS WHERE THE ANCHOR IS MOVABLE AND MORE FLEXIBLE. IM INCLUDING PICTURES OF THE 2ND ROW AND 3RD ROW ANCHORS SO THE DIFFERENCE CAN BE SEEN. THE 3RD ROW ONES ARE NO PROBLEM AND I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED COMPALINTS ABOUT THEM. I THINK THE 2ND ROW ANCHORS SHOULD BE DESIGNED SIMILAR TO THE 3RD ROW ONES.

Odometer Fraud. The contact was in the process of purchasing a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. Before the vehicle was purchased, the mileage was 118,000. At the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 227,937.

Had the whole ECM replaced as well as all wire harnesses inspected. Fuse box inspection and retighned. All fuses and relays checked. Ignition switch replacement as well. The code for P1682 went away months but has now returned. Also have replaced battery and few other minor items. The car will go into limp mode randomly on freeway or roads. Almost caused an accident since the power steering stops working as well.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The message "Engine Power Reduced" was displayed. After waiting 20 minutes, the contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was diagnosed by the contact's friend, and it was determined that the clock spring had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V614000 (Electrical System), but the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 195,000.

The airbag light is constantly on. I've dinner many replacement repairs but it's still on

Vehicle constantly has p1682 code and will turn off while driving. Also may just go into low power mode, turn off traction control and have stabile track service needed lights. Vehicle may shake violently as well. If code is reset the car can be driven again until the cycle reappears. Things already changed include ignition switch, ECM, o2 sensors, purge valve, mass air flow sensor.

fuel pump issue that is cause engines to stall while driving or not start after placing gas in the vehicle. It is having the battery run low and car die or stall and stop while driving. It will turn your check engine light on.

While driving my traction control turns off and reduces power to the vehicle often stalling it making it hard to safely move to the side of the road.. has been happening since I got the vehicle from a dealership

My car has been having a problem with traction control/service stabilitrak and losing power to the engine since I purchased it. The problem was only occasionally, now it does it EVERYTIME I drive. First it pops up with traction control off message, once that happens it starts to lose power to the engine making the car(heavy car) shudder so bad I cannot drive. The transmission lags on acceleration and it also pops up with "service stabilitrak", "Power loss to engine "And the car will not move until I can pull over and turn it off. Very scary. I have 4 kids and its losing power while Im driving on the highway. Ive replaced sensors, Cleaned the throttle body and also changed spark plugs and changed fuses. It's very dangerous and I found out this is VERY common , especially for my year.

The dealer ( P & C Auto of Vance SC) used a code reader to clear out safety codes before the car was purchased. After having a diagnostic test done, a mechanic was able to show the codes and when they were cleared. He recommended returning the car back as it was not safe to operate. I would like to have this looked at. I sent a letter to both the dealer and the finance company ( Mid Atlantic of Clearwater Florida) to be reimbursed so that I can purchase a car from elsewhere and to have this car removed from my credit report. The car has been at the mechanic since May where it was towed after being dragged across the road and stalling out. It sat overnight because it would not start. He is unable to repair. Both parties have failed to return my phone calls, emails, or written requests. I've met with an attorney and I'm ready to pursue legal actions because I could have been killed along with my children on several occasions. Please check this car out and the safety codes (P1682 and P0689)

The vehicle stalls while driving at any speed. It has left me on the highway or the middle of an intersection with myself & my kids in danger. The check engine light comes on before the vehicle shuts off completely & loses power & steering. The traction control & stability warning also come on. The vehicle has rolled backwards while in park numerous times so I have to use the parking brake on a regular basis as a safety precaution. The power steering is also an issue. The driver seat belt & air bags make this car a rolling death TRAP. There are past recalls or safety concerns for the traverse that are the exact same issue that I’m having but they are not specific to my vin number so the dealership refuses to address them! Is 7 recalls & they all apply to this vehicle! I’ve attempted to have the vehicle repaired multiple times & they have failed & the same problem returns. I just want my vehicle to be safe & not put myself or my family in danger of being injured or killed.

The manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety recall. The recall is dated May 10, 2023, and now over 2 years later there is no remedy. I remain concerned about my safety and the safety of my family, while driving this car. Despite the cost of replacement, but in consideration of the potential seriousness of the issue, time fame involved, and lack of action by the manufacturer, I am requesting complete replacement of all airbags in the above-referenced car.
