A year a go the steering at low speed would act like the power steering just stop working, very hard to turn. but not all the time, but now it more often. when a kid ran out between two parked cars I went to turn and hit the brakes the steering went out. Luckily he stop in time, but after that I needed it repaired. Went to GM web site and was amazed of all the people with this, called chevy dealer about repairs and was told its my problem and it would be $ 2100.00 to replace a faulty power steering pump, how is this not a safety problem. Try turning in a parking space and the wheel locks up its hard not to hit the car beside you. WITH NO WARNING

EVEN WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE THE VEHICLE WAS CLEARED FOR RECALL REPAIRS. NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS ALERTED ME OF ANY PROBLEMS. THIS HAPPENED INSTANTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BACKING INTO A CITY STREET.

COUPLE MONTHS AGO I WAS OUT WITH MY FAMILY AND NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS ALMOST STUTTERING WHEN I PLACED IT IN REVERSE. A LITTLE LIKE WHEN YOU DRIVE A CAR WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND YOU DEPRESS THE CLUTCH BUT DON'T GIVE THE CAR ENOUGH GAS AND IS STARTS TO JERK BACKWARDS INSTEAD OF ROLL SMOOTHLY. THEN AS I TRAVELED HOME I NOTICED A SORT OF SHUTTER WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS AT 25 MPH- I'M GUESSING AROUND 3RD GEAR. NO SHUTTERING AT A HIGHER GEAR. IT HAS BEEN IN MY GARAGE SINCE THAT DAY AND I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT. FROM WHAT I BEEN READING & LEARNING IT HAS TO DO WITH THE WAVE PLATES ON THE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE HELP.

Incident Sep 13, 2019

"SERVICE AIR BAG" DIC MESSAGE AND DASHBOARD AIR BAG WARNING ICON CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. THEN IT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR A WHILE - LONG ENOUGH TO LOG A CODE. THIS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER SAID IT NEEDED AN AIR BAG HARNESS. THEY TOLD ME THE CONNECTION POINTS OF THE WIRING LOOSEN UP OVER TIME AND GIVE A DIFFERENT CIRCUIT RESISTANCE READING THAT THE COMPUTER READS AS A FAULT. THAT WILL COST 3 HOURS OF LABOR AND MANY DOLLARS FOR THE REPLACEMENT HARNESS. I AM WAITING FOR THE HARNESS TO COME ON NOW. BUT THIS VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT WERE COVERED IN A 2014 RECALL PROGRAM. THE 2014 REPAIR WAS DONE, AND NOW THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE. I WAS TOLD IT IS OKAY TO DRIVE BUT BE AWARE THAT IF THE WARNING LIGHT IS LIT, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY.

Incident May 5, 2017

WE BOUGHT OUR 2009 TRAVERSE LTZ WITH TOWING PACKAGE BRAND NEW IN JULY 2009. FROM DAY ONE IT HAS ROLLED BACKWARDS WHEN IN DRIVE WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, A STOP SIGN, OR PAUSING FOR TRAFFIC. ONCE, WE ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO THE CAR BEHIND US EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. WHEN I SPOKE TO SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP, HE SAID IT WAS FINE, THAT'S WHAT THEY DID. OBVIOUSLY IT WAS A PROBLEM BECAUSE WITHIN A FEW YEARS, CHEVY MADE A BIG DEAL ABOUT THE NEW SYSTEM THAT STOPPED TRUCKS FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL.

Incident Jul 31, 2009

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING ON I70 SOUTH IN THE FAST LANE MY 2009 CHEVY TRAVERSE STARTED TO LOOSE POWER, LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING, AND THEN ULTIMATELY STOPPED AS I WAS PARTIALLY IN THE ROADWAY. STATE PATROL HAD TO COME OUT AND MOVE THE VEHICLE AND ASSURE MY SAFETY OF EXITING ON THIS VERY DARK INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN START UP AGAIN. AND THIS WAS THREE DAYS FOLLOWING A TUNE-UP W/6 NEW COIL PACKS, OIL CHANGE W/FILTER AND FLOW VENT. AND ALL THIS COST ALMOST 600.00 BUCKS BECAUSE COILS ARE NEARLY 45.00 PER COIL. AND ALL THIS HAD TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF A CONSTANT MISFIRE IN ALL OF MY CYLINDERS. SO I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED 48 MILES HOME AND THEN 16 MILES TO THE DEALER JUST TO BE TOLD THAT THIS TRUCK HAS A TIMING CHAIN RECALL THAT WAS NEVER DONE. SO I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL CHE Y CORPORATE OFFICE. LOL. CHEVROLET TOLD ME THAT THE THE RECALL EXPIRED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TIMING CHAIN MYSELF. AFTER 2 YEARS OF CONSTANT SPENDING. IM DONE AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO SUE. THE TROOPER CALLED TO FOLLOW UP WITH ME BECAUSE I DID ALMOST DIE ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND 18 WHEELERS WERE GOING EXTREMELY FAST. AND HE PROVIDED ME WITH A COMPLETE POLICE REPORT TO GO AFTER CHEVY. MY TWO KIDS NOW HATE THE VEHICLE. MY DAUGHTER CRIED ALL THROUGH THE 4TH OF JULY BECAUSE OF THE TRAUMA. AND CHEVY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL FAMILY VEHICLES WITHOUT HAVING A FAMILIES SAFETY IN MIND. THIS WAS MY FIRST CHEVY PURCHASE AND IT WILL BE MY LAST. THIS IS NOT A COMPANY I WISH TO SUPPORT. BECAUSE IT COULD CARELESS ABOUT OUR LIVES AND SAFETY. I REFUSE TO PAY ANOTHER 2K TO REPAIR AN ISSUE THAT HAD A RECALL THAT I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT. #2NDOWNERSCLUB

MY LTZ STARTED SHUDDERING AT ABOUT 25-30MPH @ AROUND 130,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LINE IS ON SPORADICALLY. IF YOU PUSH THE GAS HARDER, IT PICKS UP AND MOVES ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM WITH MANY '09 MODELS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL/FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. WE USE THIS CAR ONLY FOR FAMILY TRIPS OR BIG GROCERY TRIPS. I'D HATE TO GET RID OF IT. PAYING $45,000 FOR A VEHICLE MEANS IT SHOULD LAST FOR A VERY LONG TIME!
