2013 Chevrolet Traverse Complaint Log

The "Service Airbag" light and notification comes up on the dash. This happened in the past as this vehicle was part of a recall NHTSA 14V118. The car was service for that recall already back on 3-18-2014 but the issue came back. This is dangerous because when that light is on, the airbags will not go off in the event of an accident. I need this fixed at no charge. Thank you.

Fuse box

Rain Water is getting into the door connectors and caused some pins on passenger side to corrode. All audio in vehicle has stopped including turn signals, pack up sensor audio, and radio ect. GM/Chevy knows about this and is quite common reading in a lot of forums but GM has done nothing about it. This is a safety hazard.

It happened several times already and couple of times was so dangerous, I had 4 kids in my car. When I drive from Salem, OR to Portland, OR, in the middle of a highway, my car suddenly doesn't drive. On the dashboard signs are traction controll and stability track or something. Please help me. When it happens, car doesn't drive and stops on freeway. It's so dangerous.

the breaks grind and took it to a shop they said it was my anit break locked up when my car comes to a stop it shakes and my tacation control warning comes on

I was parking in front of a restaurant- my foot was on the brake and as I came to a stop the engine revved up and the car surged forwarded about 5 feet - The car pushed a pole and blew out the front door and the door frame- all this time my foot was on the brake. If someone was walking in to the restaurant they surly would have been killed. NO warning lamps or lights-I have not taken it to the dealer yet the body shop still has it. There was no police report the accident was on private property. If the dealer gives me the runaround I'll get rid of this car.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving 25-35 MPH, the vehicle jolted and shuddered upon depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure mostly occurred while accelerating in 2nd and 3rd gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the torque converter had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin Numbers: 13120 and 18-NA-358. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

Although the recall was done , few years ago by the dealer ? RCRIT-14V118-2797 But it is getting worse than before , the massage SERVICE AIR BAG KEEP APPEARING ? The job by the dealer was unsatisfactory ? This is ridiculous . [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Vehicle steering wheel vibrates when it's on and on park . The light to dashboard , radio , is dim then as I drive it might turn bright then back to dim .

The service air bag light keeps coming on

This had occurred more than 4 times. I was at the stop light, when the light turned turned I proceeded to press on the gas pedal and my vehicle started to shake/vibrate. Then the transmission light turned followed by the advanced traffic control light and low engine power. I was unable to go past 10mph..I drive my vehicle on the freeway/highway everyday for work and my children are always with. This makes it very unsafe for me and my family because I don't know when this issue will happen. I have taken it 2 times to the transmission specialist and mechanic but the codes do not always appear only when this issues occurs.

Service Traction Control, Traction Control Off/On/Off, Service All Wheel Drive display on dash. Check Engine Light on at times, When starting vehicle Service All Wheel Drive displays immediately. Codes come up as fuel pressure high, fuel pressure low, no communication with BCM. Driving from a stop the engine has to idle high to switch gears, hard shift when it does. Goes into limp mode sometimes while driving. Been to dealership, can not duplicate problems. But they see display info and no current code, do have stored code of BCM lost communication.

We were on a trip to Kansas from Wisconsin and the check engine light went on StabiliTrak warning came on. The vehicle then cut speed from 70 to 30 mph we had to ride the shoulder for 5 mi to the nearest truck stop to investigate issue we had to purchase an OBD tester and code 1682 came up. After doing reviews at the truck stop I clean the throttle body put it back together I also had to replace the purge valve canister which then got us another 10 mi down the road before the same code popped up. Got the car back home after it going off several more times nearly killing us multiple times on the interstate having to pull to the side of the shoulder to avoid traffic. Did more research only to find out that thousands of other people have had the same issue. This could cost thousands of dollars replacing parts attached to this code only to find out that it's a bad contact in the fuse box under the hood. What will it take multiple people dying from this issue. It doesn't seem like anything has been taken care of on the GM side of things. Please let me know if the dealership will pay for this or if I have to pay for this out of my own pocket as this is a known issue. Thank you. The car has since been parked in the garage and I have been trying to connect the dots through traverse forums this car is no longer safe to drive and we cannot afford to take it to a dealership at this time.

the transmission is not working properly and needs to be replaced. It is a known issue, but GM will not address it. It is a wave plate in the transmission which failed.

Vehicle dies while driving in traffic. Has done this since I bought it. Very unsafe. I have had my car since march 2022. While driving it says engine power reduced, traction control, stabli track, and loses power and I have to try to safely make sure I get it off the road. After it dies it won't start. I have to get tow truck to bring it home. Then next day it starts fine sometimes. Very unsafe. I have children . I have barley been able to prevent myself from being in a wreck. When it dies the whole cars jerks. It does it all the time. This last time it was doing it so much I haven't been able to drive it. To afraid of accident.

I’ve told penland automotive llc car dealer Joey my vehicle cuts off while I’m driving me & my kids have been in 8 near death experience & I’ve been in 6 by myself I went to trade it in because that’s not safe & I’ve done plenty of work on it I’ve told him the service stabiltack keeps shutting it off & im scared he says it’s nothing he can do about it & I’ve only had this vehicle a year it started before the 1 year anniversary on the truck!! Him not doing nothing is not ok!! I thought it needed a tune up but I really didn’t so I paid out that for nothing! I’ve also went to green light Chevrolet in Laurens they said it was a corrosion fuse box but a fuse box no lights of nothing would be working & I paid out $135 just for them to look at it & tell me that I told them what it was saying & they said the fuse box negative I went on YouTube & asked other mechanics they said it’s a part that needs to be cleaned or it will catch fire they would do it but they can’t because im making payments & it’s stuff that Chevy would have to do! I’m trying to get help some where before this truck get me or me & my kids killed

While driving 65 to 70 mph on the freeway, vehicle suddenly shudders and dash state "engine reduce speed" and "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control". It has happen about twice a month 6 months back. Took it to the dealership, no code so they couldn't find the issue even though I should them multiple videos. Today the vehicle shut off while driving 65 mph this morning in the fast lane. Luckily my wife put the Emergency lights on and we wasn't hit from behind but cats did brake fast and almost hit us. So far vehicle has left me on the side on the road 3 times today. Errors codes that are coming up is P1682 and c042-00. It also states replace ignition relay switch which I had done 3 times already. Once this happens I have to wait 10 minutes, then restart, then shut off, then reatart, then shut off then restart until to vehicle starts up how it should start up with no hesitation or shaking. Then I can make it home My fear is my wife will be driving and car shuts off while driving on the freeway with the kids. I know this issues was recalled with the traverse 2009 and 2010 and some other vehicle gm made.

Steering gave out my mechanic put on new pump took it out for a test drive and it still didn’t correct it . Put another pump on same thing . He doesn’t know what to do it is a programming problem the 2013 traverse is having from all the research I have done . From what I read very dangerous problem

General Motors is not notifying GM vehicle owners of electrical defect malfunctions that has been on-going for a number of years; leaving vehicle owners with alarming operational occurrences and unexpected repair expenses. While driving our 2013 Chevrolet Traverse fall 2021, we experienced the passenger airbag light coming on and staying on, along with the blind spot detection system lights coming on and staying on for both side mirrors. Also, the key fob wouldn’t work—manually lock and unlock the vehicle. We disconnected the negative battery terminal to reset the computers, resulting in the key fob to work and the passenger airbag light to go out. The blind spot detection system continued to malfunction so we scheduled a repair appointment with our Chevrolet dealership. Prior to the appointment, we endured a frightening experience while driving our Traverse; the entire instrument panel went out along with the radio. This electrical malfunction occurred on two separate occasions. In addition, the engine light came on and the engine temperature gage did not work properly. The dealership performed two diagnostic tests 11/5/2021 determining the engine coolant sensor malfunction and blind spot detection system modules/hardness malfunction. The dealership service manager explained other electrical malfunctions such as steering wheel movement and passenger seat movement that could occur while driving our vehicle should we continue to operate our vehicle without repairing the blind spot detection system and the need to replace both modules and the electrical harness. The video showed both modules were severely corroded. He also explained there is nothing a vehicle owner can do to prevent the corrosion because the modules are placed in the rear bumper—susceptible to moisture penetration and system malfunction. The repair costs was $1664. 11/30/2021 Customer Assistance Center stated by phone call, no action or reimbursement unless a recall is issued.

2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT SAFETY RECALL. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE AIRBAGS AND SAFETY BELT BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY.

Was driving down the road and the seat belt warning came on even though the seat belts were buckled and the car suddenly lost power the traction control light blinked I tried to give the car gas and it acted like it did not want to go I pulled over and cut it off and let it sit for a minute and then cut it back on and it's drove fine

My 2013 Chevy Traverse LT began Very ruff Idling, Battery Charging system, Traction control, Stabilitytrak, and Check engine lights would come on. Smoke coming from engine area. Had Vehicle towed to dealer. The same day I got it back had the same problem. The truck cuts off while driving down the street almost creating multiple accidents. The first time this happened, I was on the expressway driving about 60 MPH when the traction control light came on, the truck reduced power and completely cut off while driving. An 18 wheeler truck that had slam on breaks to keep from rear ending me. This most recent time this issue came about, While driving on a city street, suddenly the truck did the ruff idol and cut off while driving. I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler again. Thank god these 18 wheeler truck drivers had the skills to make it around me. I am so scared to drive the truck. At this point i want to get rid of it but I'm scared someone else may get my truck and have an even worse outcome. I have had this issue so many times that I fear this will happen in a even more dangerous spot and this truck will get me killed in a really bad accident. I am Highly recommending that GM or someone look into removing this truck from the roadways of America as this is hazardous to all drivers driving safely down the road. My truck is currently being looked at by the dealer and GM. I am not looking to drive this vehicle ever again. Some of the issues has been: Code P0107 map sensor Alternator began smoking Stability Trak dashboard lights come on and engine looses power Traction control light comes on and truck cuts off battery charging system light comes ruff idol and truck cuts off Under hood Fuse box will short out and cause multiple electrical issues Purge Valve broken Power steering hose went bad Coolant hose connector broke 2 times in the same spot Please look into this issue with this model, this is very unsafe and dangerous for the road.

WE NOTICED AN ALERT ON OUR DASH DISPLAY SAYING SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM AND WE ASKED A MECHANIC HE SAID THE BLIND SPOT WARNING AND SIDE AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING BECAUSE OF THIS ALERT AND WE JUST ONLY BOUGHT THIS CAR LESS THAN 5 MONTHS AGO AND STUFF LIKE THIS IS FAILING

CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY HAVE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING. THE CAR WOULD GO INTO LIMP MODE BUT DRIVABLE ENOUGH TO GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED ALL THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON BUT THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED. THE CAR DRIFTED TO A STOP RIGHT OUT OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE BUT WE WERE STILL UNABLE TO GET COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD. WOULD NOT RESTART. COPS CAME BECAUSE WE WERE BLOCKING TRAFFIC UNTIL A TOW TRUCK COULD ARRIVE. THANKFULLY OTHER CARS WERE ALREADY SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE. IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE WRONG LOCATION WERE YOU CAN'T GET OFF THE ROAD IT COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE FUSE BLOCK AND TERMINAL 51 HAD CORROSION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT WAS DEFINITELY THE PROBLEM AND I NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH.

DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED WHEN "TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT OFF" INDICATOR CAME ON, THEN VEHICLE STARTED TO REDUCE SPEED, "ENGINE LIGHT INDICATOR POWER OFF". VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START.

THE REDUCE ENGINE WARNING KEEPS COMING UP. WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. BUT WHEN SCAN NO CODES SHOW UP ON THE SCAN. IT KEEPS GLITCHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH ENGINE POWER REDUCED MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND BRAKING FUNCTIONALITY. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOSS ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,000.

WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR JERKED A FEW TIMES. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DINGING STARTED AND THE CAR STATED TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITRAK OFF THEN SAID SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, LOW ENGINE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN TURNED ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER SO MANY MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC BUT WAS ORIGINALLY DRIVING GOING 55 MPH ON A MAIN ROAD.

THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS FAILED AND MY VEHICLE DIED WHILE DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY TURNS OFF AND ON THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. AT TIMES, THE VEHICLE ALSO GOES INTO "REDUCED POWER MODE" WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN THE REDUCED POWER MODE OCCURS, LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALSO OCCUR MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL UNTIL IT IS STOPPED. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE REDUCED POWER MODE AND TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAC CONDITIONS GO AWAY UNTIL IT RANDOMLY TRIGGERS AGAIN. THE REDUCED POWER MODE AND TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAC ERRORS MAY OCCUR EITHER WHILE MOVING OR WHILE STATIONARY. THE EVENTS TRIGGER RANDOM ENGINE CODES, OF WHICH I HAVE SEVERAL ON RECORD, AND THOSE ENGINE CODES TYPICALLY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, ON OCCASION, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT AND AIRBAG LIGHTS ALERT TO BUCKLE THE BELT ALTHOUGHT THERE IS NO ONE OR NOTHING IN THAT SEAT. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME IGINITION SWITCH THAT WAS RECALLED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL.THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS 10/02/2020, WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO REDUCE POWER MODE, AND NEARLY CAUSING ME TO MISS A NEGOTIATING A CURVE IN THE ROAD.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. DROVE FINE. P1682 CODE IGNITION 1 SWITCH RELAY 2. RELAYS IN FUSE BOX LOOKED FINE. CODE WENT AWAY. FOLLOWING MORNING THE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH OTHER WARNINGS INCLUDING TEST ICE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS ETC. AND VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY GOES INTO LIMP MODE REDUCED ENGINE POWER. LUCKILY MY WIFE HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO A CITY STREET AND COULD SAFELY PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WITH OUR KIDS.TOWED VEHICLE TO SHOP AND SHOP SAYS SHORT/BURNT WIRE LEADING TO FUSE BOX. NEED TO REPLACE ENTIRE FUSE BOX. $1273. BOUGHT VEHICLE BRAND NEW, ONLY 69XXX MILES. STILL WAITING FOR REPAIR TO COMPLETE. SEVERAL DAYS FOR PART TO DELIVER.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY KIDS DRIVING NORMAL WHEN THE STABILITRAK HAPPENED, AND THE CAR WENT FROM 60 MILES PER HOUR TO 20 MILE PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST CAUSING A BAD ACCIDENT. WE GOT VERY SCARED. I BEEN LOOKING UP ONLINE ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A ISSUE WITH THE GM CARS.

THE CAR IS A 2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE LS WITH 98,804 MILES ON IT. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND A WARNING ON THE DASH CAME UP OF SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OFF, REDUCED ENGINE POWER . THE VEHICLE REDUCED SPEED FROM 60 MPH TO 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS MISFIRING. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OF ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES OR TRANSMISSION ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE LET IT SIT FOR A MOMENT AND RESTARTED IT. VEHICLE STARTED FINE NO MISFIRING OR LURCHING WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE. AFTER RESETTING THE FAULTS THE VEHICLE DROVE LIKE NORMAL. APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE. POSSIBLY THE FUSE BLOCK. I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR 25 YEARS THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME EVER SEEING THIS ISSUE.

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT SAY "SERVICE AIRBAG" AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT BY THE DEALER, THEY SAY IT MAYBE A SHORT IN A WIRE BUT THEIR COMPUTER IS NOT PICKING IT UP. IT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER 2019 BUT IT USUALLY GO OUT BUT THIS TIME IT HAS STAYED ON AD WILL NOT GO OUT. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS SAFE IF I'M INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. EACH TIME I START MY VEHICLE, WHILE I'M DRIVING, PARKED, ETC., THIS WARNING LIGHT NEVER GO OFF

DRIVING AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS ON LONG CAR RIDES EVEN THOUGH THE FLUIDS ARE ALL FINE THE TRACTION CONTROL CODE COMES ON AND I LOSE POWER TO THE VEHICLE AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES

I TURN MY TRUCK ON TO GO TO WORK COME OUT OF WORK TRUCK IS COMPLETELY DEAD THEN WHEN I TRY A FEW TIMES TO START SERVICE AIR BAG POPS UP AND SERVICE CHARGING SYSTEM AS WELL I HAVE PICTURES AND NEED CHEVROLET TO FIX THESE ISSUES CAUSE I HAVE TO BUY BATTERIES EVERY 3 MONTHS IT'S COSTING TO MUCH MONEY

THE STARTER ON THIS TRUCK IS FAULTY AND SERVICE FOR AIR BAG KEEPS COMING UP AT BEGINNING OF START IT'S HARD TO START SOUNDS LIKE IT NEEDS JUMP AFTER WHILE IT WILL KILL MY BATTERY DEAD FEW MINUTES LATER IT WILL START

BEEN HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE POWER ON TURNING MY SUV ON SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SPARKING HARD UNDER HOOD AND ALSO WHEN THE TRUCK RUNS IT JERKS AND WHEN I GO TO START IT UP IT TELLS ME SOMETHING ABOUT THE AIR BAGS THE ALTERNATOR READS 14.0 VOLTS THEN DROPS TO 12.5 VOLTS SOMETIMES IT STAYS THERE NEW BATTERY HAS BEEN PUT IN A GOLD TOP AND STILL PROBLEMS ARE NOT GOING AWAY THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IF IT COULD CATCH ON FIRE OR WORST

GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT, AND ALL OF SUDDEN MY LIGHTS AND RADIO WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND THEN BACK ON. THE ALTERNATOR DROP PAST THE 14 V. WE HAVE HAD THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR CHECK AND THEY ARE SHOWING WORKING IN GOOD CONDITION. SOMETIMES THE ALTERNATOR WILL DROP DOWN BELOW THE 14 V, AND SOMETIMES IS STAYS ABOVE THE 14 V.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO REDUCED POWER, TURN OFF TRACTION CONTROL, TURN OFF STABILITY CONTROL. IT HAS ALSO TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR VEHICLES FROM 2009-2015, WITH NO KNOWN FOR SURE FIXES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN IF YOUR VEHICLE STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. I DONT HAVE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING THINGS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. ADDITIONALLY, THE ENGINE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AFTER THE FAILURE AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RED WING CHEVROLET BUICK CADILLAC (2500 US 6, RED WING, MN 55066, (651) 388-4777) TO BE TO DIAGNOSED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE ENGINE'S FUSE BOX WIRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. INVALID VIN.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, 2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE LS ON 5/6/2030, A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, I BROUGHT IT BACK THREE TIMES TO SUN USED CARS, ALL WITHIN MY WARRANTY PERIOD AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO NOW THEY WILL NO LONGER FIX THE VEHICLE, AND I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH IT SLIPPING. I THINK IT MAY BE ELECTRICAL BECAUSE WHEN IT WON'T SHIFT AND YOU TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IT WILL SHIFT GEARS. THERE IS ALSO 4 AIR BAG SENSORS THAT ARE SHOWING UP AS AN ISSUE THAT STARTED AFTER THE RELAY SWITCH FOR THE LOCKS WERE FIXED.

STREERING HARD AT LOW RMP. HARD TO STEER

IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS MY 2013 CHEV TRAVERSE HAS HAD THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS. IT HAS HAPPENED GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND 30 MPH ON CITY STREETS. USUALLY I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURN OFF THE ENGINE FOR A MINUTE THEN THE CAR WILL START AND OPERATE AS NORMAL FOR A FEW DAYS OR A FEW WEEKS. IN THE PAST MONTH I HAVE BEEN IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE TOTALLY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO AVOID A TRACTOR TRAILER IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. AFTER THE CAR SAT IDLE FOR A DAY IT STARTED UP. CODES WERE CLEARED AND IT RAN NORMALLY AGAIN FOR WEEKS. LAST WEEK WHILE TRAVELING AT 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING, BUT STILL IMPACTING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. A LOCAL POLICE OFFICER HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR FURTHER OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SIDEWALK. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. 24 HOURS LATER THE CAR STARTED OK. CODES WERE CLEARED AND IT ONCE AGAIN COULD OPERATE NORMALLY. MY MECHANIC CONSULTED TO A GM MECHANIC AND THEY AGREED THE PROBLEM IS THE IGNITION SWITCH. MY TRAVERSE HAS NOT HAD A RECALL FOR IGNITION SWITCH REPLACEMENT. I AM AWARE THAT GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS HAVE KILLED OVER (100) GM VEHICLE OWNERS. MILLIONS OF GM CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED BY REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH, IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND IGNITION KEY. MANY MORE GM VEHICLES LIKE MY 2013 CHEV TRAVERSE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED OR MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE. IN FACT MY GUESS IS HUNDREDS OF ADDITIONAL DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS HAVE DIED AND THE PROBLEM IGNITION SWITCH WAS NOT BLAMED FOR THESE ADDITIONAL DEATHS.

I HAVE A 2013 TRAVERSE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM IT HAS DONE THIS A FEW TIMES NOW WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL, THE LATEST WAS TODAY WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY LOCAL GAS STATION IN TO ON COMING TRAFFIC THE STEERING JUST QUIT HAD A HELL OF A TIME TRYING TO KEEP MY CAR INTO MY LANE. MY SUV IS IN PERFECT CONDITION I TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. HAS ANYONE HEARD OF ANY POSSIBLE RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? I HOPE CHEVY DOES SOMETHING SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THIS SUV IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED STEERING PROBLEM WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. JIM

WHILE DRIVING, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, LOSS OF POWER CAME ON, AND STABILITY TRACTION TURNED OFF. MY SPEED REDUCED FROM 40 TO 25. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND NOW ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

WHILE DRIVING I EXPERIENCED 'TRACTION CONTROL OFF'; 'SERVICE STABILITRAC'; 'SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL' AND THEN THE CAR WENT INTO 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND HAD TO QUICKLY MAKE AN UNSAFE TURN TO AVOID BEING REAR-ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 75 MPH WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING CAME ON AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN

WHILE DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE DURING RUSH HOUR NEAR PHILADELPHIA I GOT A VEHICLE ALARM FOR REDUCED POWER. THE VEHICLE THEN QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN FROM 50MPH TO 10MPH NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THEN A ALARM FOR STABILITY TRAC CONTROL. PULLED CODES P089 AND P228C. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF MY DASH GAUGES STARTED TO FLUCTUATE, MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, I STARTED TO LOOSE SPEED WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHEN I FINALLY MADE IT HOME MY BACK UP CAMERA WOULD NOT COME ON AND I HEARD CLICKING COMING FROM THE FUSE BOX.
