I HAVE A 2010 TRAVERSE AROUND 40,000 MILES THE STEERING STARTED LOCKING UP WHEN TUNING AT A LOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY IN PARKING LOTS, ETC. SOMETIMES I EVEN HAVE TO TRY AND BACK UP AND TURN WITH ALL MY MIGHT TO GET THE CAR TO TURN IN PARKING SPOTS. THIS STARTED OUT AS A COUPLE TIMES A DAY NOT IT IS ALMOST EVERY TURN I MAKE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A WRECK SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND THERE ARE WAY TO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM. CHEVROLET MUST MAKE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE HELP US!!! *TR

STEERING WHEEL WILL BECOME VERY STIFF OR FREEZE UP WHEN MAKING A TURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY, MANY TIMES CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT OCCUR THIS QUICKLY, IF EVER. *TR

STARTED WITH A WHINING NOISE AT LOW SPEED APPROX 3 YEARS AGO AND THEN SLOWLEY STARTED TIGHTENING AT LOW SPEED THEN ULTIMATLY GIVING OUT COMPLETELY. THE TIGHTENING WAS A FRIGHTENING THING AS YOU NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WAS GOING TO DO IT AND YOU HAD TO BE PREPARED FOR IT TO OTHER WISE YOU WOULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER CAR OR PERSON.

POWER STEERING GIVES OUT, AND THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO TURN AND STEER. MAKES IT HARD TO PARK OR DRIVE AT SLOW SPEEDS. *TR

VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING ASSIST AT LOW VEHICLE AND ENGINE SPEED, SUCH AS PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE OR DRIVEWAY. OCCURS INFREQUENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. LOCAL DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND CANNOT REPLICATE PROBLEM. IS SAFETY ISSUE AS AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER COULD LOSE CONTROL AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PERSON. *TT

AT LOW SPEED I WAS UNABLE TO STEER CLEAR OF AN OBSTACLE BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF LOCKING. I HAD TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS TO HAVE IT MOVE AT ALL. THE LOCKUP CAUSED LOSS OF STEERING AND I STRUCK ANOTHER OBJECT. THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES AND NOW IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE PREVALENT. DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY CONSISTENT PATTERN, HOT, COLD, SHORT DRIVE, LONG DRIVE, ETC. PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE TURNING IN BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT DIRECTION. AT TIMES I GET THE FEELING THAT IT HAPPENS WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE. *TR

2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT GAS GAUGE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE,WAS ON THE EMPTY MARK WITH ABOUT 1/8 TANK GAS LEFT BUT GAUGE READ FULL OR MY GAUGE TO NOT READ CORRECTLY; AFTER FILLING, THE GAUGE WOULD NOT MOVE THE OPPOSITE WOULD OCCUR ALSO; THE GAUGE WOULD SHOW THE TANK WITH MORE GAS THAN WHAT I ACTUALLY HAD. HEY REPLACED THE FLOAT AND STILL NOT WORKING IN FACT IT'S WORSE. *TR

WHEN MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD, BECAME INCREASING DIFFICULT TO STEER. TOOK TO CHEVY DEALER WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT CHEVY SAID TO REPLACE POWER STEERING FLUID. AFTER THAT WAS COMPLETED, IT WAS STILL HARD TO STEER, DEALER SAID TO WAIT A FEW WEEKS TO WORK IT IN! BECAME WORSE AND WORSE. POWER STEERING JUST NOT WORKING. DIFFICULT TO PARK VEHICLE AND DANGEROUS AS IF YOU NEED TO QUICKLY TURN COULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. CHEVY DEALER SAID NEEDS NEW POWER STEERING PUMP, OVER $2000 REPAIR. FINALLY GOT VEHICLE REPAIRED IN 2013 ELSEWHERE AT A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR APPROXIMATELY $1300. CHEVY NEEDS TO MAN UP AND RECALL THIS BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES AND ALSO REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO SHELLED OUT BIG BUCKS FOR REPAIRS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, SHE NOTICED THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. AFTER CONTACTING ONSTAR, THEY ADVISED HER THAT THE WARNING WAS AN INDICATION THAT HER AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF A CRASH WAS TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY WERE PENDING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 37,500.

ON JANUARY 13, 2012 AT NOON MY WIFE WENT TO A PARKING LOT WITH MY TWO KIDS. SHE TURN OFF THE IGNITION, REMOVE THE KEY AND BRING IT WITH HER, OPEN DRIVER DOOR TO OPEN REAR DOOR AND REMOVE KIDS FROM THEIR CAR SEATS. ONCE KIDS ARE FREE SHE CLOSE REAR DOOR AND THEY MOVE TO CARGO AREA WITH MY WIFE TO EAT HOT DOGS, SHE HAD OPENED BACK DOOR. BEING THERE MY BOY WALK TO THE DRIVER AREA, MY WIFE CALLS HIM BUT SHE FOUND HIM EXTRANGULATED AT THE DRIVER SEAT WITH THE WINDOW. SHE AND OTHER PERSONS RUN TO REMOVE HIM BUT TOOK A WHILE UNTIL THEY FOUND THE KEY AT THE CARGO AREA. MY SON WASN'T BREATHING AND THERE WAS NO PULSE, ONE GUY GAVE HIM CPR AND OTHER PERSON SAW AN AMBULANCE CLOSE TO THEM AND CALL THEM. AMBULANCE PERSONNEL REVIVE HIM WITH CPR AND PLACE A TUBE TO HIS LUNGS AND TRANSPORT HIM TO CLOSEST HOSPITAL. HE SPENT ONE DAY AT ICU AND THREE DAYS AT REGULAR ROOM. BASICALLY HE DIED FOR AROUND 5 MINUTES. I WILL LIKE CHEVROLET INVESTIGATE THIS, HOW A WINDOW GOES UP AFTER KEY IS REMOVED FROM IGNITION AND DOORS ARE OPENED. IT DIDN'T HAPPENS TO US BUT SOMEBODY CAN BE KILLED OR HURT IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG ON THE ELECTRIC OR WINDOW SYSTEM. *TR

2010 TRAVERSE IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE, TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK, CAN NOT CONTROL AIR OR HEAT HAVE TO STOP CAR TURN MOTOR OFF AND BACK ON . WILL WORK FOR A WHILE DEALER AND GM DO NOT KNOW WHATS WRONG, MARCH 26/2012 STILL NOT WORKING. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHILE SITTING IDLE AT A TRAFFIC STOP. THE SEAT BELTS SEIZED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT SPORADICALLY, WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING THE RESULTS OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FROM THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AS A GM CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE IN LATE DECEMBER 2010. NOV26'11 @ 37,395 MILES THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AND THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED. IN MAY 2012, I WAS REAR ENDED AT STOP LIGHT AND A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I STARTED EXPERIENCING SHAKING WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE WHEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR. JUN15'12 THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE REPLACED. NOV30'12 VEHICLE TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE ONCE MORE WITH SAME COMPLAINT OF SHAKING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES OR WHEN COASTING - FRONT DISC BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AND FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED. IT IS NOW MAY'13 (52K MI) AND I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES ONCE MORE, HOWEVER THE SHAKING IS MUCH WORSE TO THE POINT IT FEELS AS IF THE FRONT WHEELS WILL COME OFF WHILE BRAKING. I CONTACTED DEALER TO GET SERVICE HISTORY, AND FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS PRESENT BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD ONLY BE REMOVED FROM PARK IN COLDER WEATHER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE PROBLEM RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF TWO YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS FOR THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES ARE REVERSED. FOR EXAMPLE, THE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN TELLING ME FOR A WEEK THAT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW (PSI 15 OR LESS). I HAVE PUT AIR IN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM IDENTIFIED BY THE WARNING LIGHT, AND THE TIRE GAUGE WOULD READ ABOVE 35. I THOUGHT THE SENSOR WAS READING INCORRECTLY UNTIL I NOTICED THE REAR RIGHT TIRE WAS LOW. ONCE I PUT AIR IN THE REAR RIGHT TIRE, THE READING FOR THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WENT FROM 9 PSI TO 36 PSI. *TR

THE REAR CLIMATE CONTROL KNOBS ARE TO HOT TO TOUCH AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON. *TR

LOST POWER STEERING, TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIR BUT TO THIS DAY IT IS STILL OCCURRING THIS PROBLEM IS SO DANGEROUS THAT I CAN'T SEE HOW GM WOULDN'T RECALL TO REPAIR SO I'VE BEEN WAITING BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE ASSOCIATED. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED FROM THIS NATIONWIDE PROBLEM. *TR

WHINING NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL. HAS BEEN IN SHOP 4 TIMES. WITH SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED WHEN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING, THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHO SUGGESTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FAILURE, THAT THE ENGINE BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO RESET THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 10/18/11*LJ UPDATED 11/04/11

WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION ON A STEEP HILL AT A STOP SIGN, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACK ALMOST HITTING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. IT STARTLED ME. IN ORDER TO PROCEED SAFELY I HAD TO USE MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. IN THE SECOND INCIDENT, MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A SLIGHT INCLINE. SHE REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACK ALMOST HITTING OUR YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WHO WAS RIDING HER BICYCLE. MY WIFE WAS SCARED. WE FURTHER TESTED THE VEHICLE ON VARIOUS HILLS/INCLINES BOTH IN DRIVE AND REVERSE AND IT CONTINUED TO ROLL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE ENGAGED GEAR. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT HAVE "HILL-HOLD" OR "HILL ASSIST".

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT ALL THE TIME WHEN CAR IS MOVING SLOWLY. *TR

THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF LEAKAGE ON GARAGE FLOOR. THEN THE STEARING AT SLOW SPEEDS HAD BECOME VERY HARD TO TURN. *TR

MY TRUCK KEPT MAKING CLICKING NOISES AND THE POWER STEERING KEPT FEELING STIFF. IT CONTINUOUSLY MADE NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEELS. *TR

I EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE ON MY 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE LT. AFTER SAFELY PULLING OFF THE ROAD AND GETTING THE JACK AND SUCH READY I LOWERED THE SPARE TIRE. AFTER 3 HOURS AND 3 PEOPLE ATTEMPTING TO RELEASE THE SPARE TIRE I DECIDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE RELEASE LEVER WOULD NOT LET THE TIRE FREE. GETTING MY SPARE TIRE DOWN SHOULD NOT BE THAT HARD. *TR

THE 2ND AND 3RD ROW SEAT BELTS ARE POORLY DESIGNED. IN ORDER FOR AN ADULT TO SIT IN THE BACK SEATS, THEY MUST SIT SIDEWAYS OR THE SEAT BELT WILL DIG RIGHT INTO THEIR HIPS. IT IS SO PAINFUL THAT PUTTING ON THE SEAT BELT AT ALL ONLY MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE. ALSO, IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO INSTALL A CARSEAT IN THE BACK ROWS AS WELL. ADDITIONALLY, CHILDREN HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME TRYING TO FASTEN THEIR SEAT BELTS IF THEY ARE IN BOOSTER SEATS. THE BOOSTER SITS RIGHT UP AGAINST THE SEAT BELTS AND MAKE A CLICKING NOISE SO THAT YOU THINK THE BELT HAS BEEN FASTENED BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT IS NOT.

SECOND ROW SEAT BELT BUCKLES ARE STIFF AND MAKE IT EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE WHERE PASSENGERS HAVE TO SIT SIDEWAYS SO THAT THE BUCKLE DOESN'T HURT THEM, LEAVING THEM PRONE TO INJURY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. MY MOTHER BRUISED HER HIP AFTER SITTING IN THE SECOND ROW WHEN I HAD TO BRAKE HARD AFTER I WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER DRIVE. ALMOST EVERYONE THAT SITS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SECOND ROW REFUSES TO PUT ON THEIR SEAT BELT BECAUSE IT HURTS THEIRS HIPS. ALSO, THIS MAKES IT HARD TO BUCKLE IN A CHILD WITH A BOOSTER SEAT AS THERE IS VERY LITTLE ROOM TO CLICK IN THE SEAT BELT WITH THE SEAT IN PLACE. TWICE ALREADY I BELIEVED MY DAUGHTER WAS CLICKED IN BUT IN FACT SHE WASN'T BECAUSE THE BUCKLES HAD LITTLE TO NO GIVE AND GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION THAT SHE WAS SECURE. *TR

2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH APPROX 20K MILES. 5 TIMES HAS POSTED A MESSAGE STATING "TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED, SERVICE STABIL-TRACK". THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN A WEEK. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED FOR COMPUTER CODES AND FOUND NONE. PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR APPROX. 4 WEEKS THEN RETURNED AGAIN THIS MORNING. IT APPEARED TO RESET ITSELF AFTER STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR 5 MINUTES. *TR
