2010 Chevrolet Traverse Electrical System Problems

The contact owned a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the contact discovered that the driver's side door, the driver's side seat, and the ceiling had caught on fire and was burned; the windshield was also cracked. The vehicle was unoccupied during the fire. A Fire Department report was filed the following day and the Fire Department inspected the vehicle and determined that the wiring was hot to the touch and could have possibly caused the fire; the vehicle was deemed totaled. The local dealer was not contacted. A Police report was not filed. The vehicle remained at the residence. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 175,000.

The airbag light on the dash keeps coming off and on randomly. Stays on for a period of time or goes off after a couple seconds. Also for electrical, I was driving down Hwy and the vehicle died and turned back on within 5 seconds. Had to jiggle battery cables for it to come back on. I had two small children in the vehicle and I don’t feel it’s safe to drive any longer.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the electrical plug was damaged by the previous dealer who performed maintenance work on the vehicle. The contact also stated no warning lights were operable on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

It happened 2 yrs ago in May. My kids and I were waiting in the vehicle and it cut off all of a sudden. My boyfriend checked it out and wasn’t sure what the problem was. The vehicle got towed. Mechanic said it was a bad ECM. Whomever sold me the vehicle had an Arcadia ECM. The mechanic from the dealership I took it to said it’s on back order. 6 months later he said there’s nothing they can do for my vehicle. So it stayed in my yard for so long. We bought a used ECM from a used auto part. Today my boyfriend had to go on YouTube just to figure out what’s wrong. He was under the hood almost the whole day and now it’s fixed. The only problem is the check engine light is on.

I HAVE HAD ALL ELECTRICAL WORK DONE. THE LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT ON MY TRUCK. I REPLACE THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS FREQUENTLY. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN I PUMP GAS. THE TRUCK STALLS AND DOES NOT WANT TO CRANK. I HAVE HAD THAT PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TRAVERSE WITH 94,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD I HAD ' SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED' MIT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND MY VEHICLE I HAD TO LIMP HOME.

I KEEP HAVING TO GET THE AIR CONDITIONING FIXED. I HAD ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL WORK DONE AND REPLACED AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT WENT BACK OUT. I REPLACED THE CONDENSOR. I HAD MORE FREON ADDED AND IT STILL BLOWS OUT WARM AIR. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I HAVE HAD THE AIR TO NOT WORK. VERY FRUSTRATING! WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT STILL DOES NOT WORK.

ENGIN BURNING OIL. ALSO SAYS CAT UNDER PERFORMANCE BAY 1 I HAD A MECHANIC FIR IT TWICE DUE TO MISFIRE ON 2 CYLINDERS. LIFT GATE ELECTRICAL ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES AND OTHERS IT GOES UP THE STARTS TO CLOSE HALF WAY UP. IV BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD A FEW TIMES. PASSENGER WINDOW WON'T ROLL UP OR DOWN FROM DRIVER SIDE. ALL ISSUES I WAS INFORMED WERE DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING ISSUES.

ME AND MY WIFE OWN A 2010 TRAVERSE AND 2 DAYS AGO THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SHE WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FEW SECONDS IT TOOK TO TURN THE HAZZARD LIGHTS ON, IM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT ENGINE ISSUES ARE BEING SUBMITTED BUT NO ACTIONS IVE BEEN A LIFE LONG GM OWNER AND THIS IS A TURNING ME TOWARDS LOOKING ELSEWHERE MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR MY 3 CHILDREN HAD THEY BEEN IN THE CAR AT THE TIME THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP BY A GOOD CAR MANUFACTURER PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS

MY VEHICLE BEING TRACK BY LAW ENFORCEMENT-MAPPING AND STOP AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK UNDER DIFFERENT VECHILE CODES EBD,EPS,TRAC AND RADIO WAVES BY TELCOMMUNCATIONERS CODING MY CAR MOST RECENTLY STOP ON 7-13-2020 .THIS IS MY COMPLAINT FOR INVESTIGATION. MY TAG IS RTT0049.

TRACTION CONTROL AND STABLIZER LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. RADIO COMES ON AND OFF.

ON JAN 4 2020 I WAS DRY ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING 70 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR MADE A DING NOISE AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON SAYING IT WAS OFF THEN IT SAID IT WAS POWERING DOWN AND THEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF NOWHERE THAT HAPPENED I READ THAT GMC HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS QITH THE SAME SITUATION. I WAS VERY SCARED AND VERY EMOTIONAL AND I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED THIS IS A REALLY BAD SAFETY PROBLEM AND I READ THAT TTHAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENED TOO

IT'S DRIVABLE JUST I NOTICED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LIKE DASHBOARD RADIO GO DIM OCCASIONALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE MAYBE TAKE A HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR FOR THE LIGHTS TO GO REGULAR AND IF I HAVE THE RADIO AT HIGH VOLUME WHILE DRIVING AND I DECREASE SPEED THE VOLUME LOWERS ITSELF JUST A CONCERN THAT IT MAYBE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON BUT NO RECALLS FOR IT. *TR

THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS INTERMITTENTLY GOING INTO "LOW ENGINE" MODE, WARNING BLINKS FOR ONLY A SECOND THEN THE CAR WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS TO ME, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER DRIVERS- IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING ON THE FREEWAY? DOES THIS ISSUE NEED TO RESULT IN A DEATH BEFORE IT IS LOOKED INTO BY THE COMPANY? THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEARS- HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO WARNING SIGNS WHATSOEVER. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN I GO ABOVE 40 MPH, THE THE RPMS GOES TO 9+OFF THE CHARTS AND I CANNOT GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR. SINCE IT HAPPENS ONLY RANDOMLY MECHANICS HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING ISSUE SINCE IT DOES NOT ALWAYS DO THIS FOR THEM. OUR LAST VISIT SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT AT A PRICE THAT IS MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR, THAT IS HARD TO STOMACH. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE AND CONSIDERING THE 2009 RECALL, MY TWO CENTS IS THE 2010 MODEL MOST OBVIOUSLY HAS SIMILAR MANUFACTURING ISSUES AND A DEEPER INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE. OTHER ISSUES, CAR LURCHES/JERKS WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE FROM PARK. PLEASE BACK YOUR COMPANY AND IN GOOD FAITH TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS AS SOME OF US WORK HARD FOR OUR MONEY, THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE RESULT OF SOMETHING ANYONE TAKES PRIDE IN!

STABILITRAK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL. SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS MANY OF THE WINDOWS, ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT AND STABILITRAK COMES ON, ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THERE IS LOSS OF POWER THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECOND, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.

MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES. FIRST THE DVD PLAYER WENT OUT THEN THE AIR AND HEAT QUIT BLOWING, DURING THIS THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY LOSE POWER COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING BUT COULD BE BUMPED BACK ON BY JAMMING ON THE GAS OR RESTARTING THE CAR. THE VEHICLE STARTED LOCKING IN MY KEY AND SETTING OFF THE ANTI THEFT ELECTRIC LOCKDOWN. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SOME OF THE ISSUES STOPPED BRIEFLY (THE ANTI THEFT AND POWER LOSS) BUT THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED WITHIN A MONTH AND THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER START OR ALLOW THE BATTERY TO CHARGE VIA JUMP OR CHARGE PACK.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR TWO YEARS IN MY TRAVERSE AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHY. FOR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, WHEN FILLING THE TANK WE HAVE TO TURN ALL ELECTRONICS OFF AND THEN AFTER THE FILL WE HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL AND COAX IT INTO STARTING. AGAIN, LOCAL MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THAT WON'T COST A FORTUNE, SO ADVISED TO CONTINUE DRIVING IF WHAT WE DO WORKS. FOR THE LAST MONTH OR SO THE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON PERIODICALLY AND THEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS REALLY COLD. AT FIRST NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED, BUT THE LAST THREE TIMES WE DID LOSE POWER. I WENT DOWN TO 40MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THEN AT 21 BELOW LAST NIGHT WE COULDN'T GO OVER 10-15 MPH. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR A WHILE IT NORMALLY RE-SETS WHICH IT DID LAST NIGHT AND WE FINALLY MADE IT HOME. THIS ENGINE POWER REDUCTION AND STABILITRAK ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON WHEN THE CAR IS ON.

IT STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING AND KEYS GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION MULTIPLE TIMES . ACCELERATES ITSELF OR FAILS TO PICK UP THE SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD MANY FIXED AND THEY GO RIGHT IN THE SAME PROBLEM.

ALARM SOUNDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NO ONE ATTEMPT TO GET INTO VEHICLE. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES WEEKS. ALSO HOOD LATCH LIGHT ON DASH COMES AND GOES.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED THIS EVENING IN MY 2010 TRAVERSE AS WELL AS SERVICE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL. AS I ACCELERATED MY FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WENT DOWN AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT WOULD SHOOT UP TO FULL. I AM ONE OF MANY TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE WITH SPECIFICALLY A CHEVY TRAVERSE.
