This vehicle is dangerous. Looks great on the outside but horrible on the inside under the hood! Since my son bought one for me it-??s had problems with engine revving and not shifting gears, and air conditioner continually going out even after repairs, and power steering leaks. I kept taking it to repair and oddly no technician anywhere could help! Read the reviews and watch the youtubes! This vehicle (all years) should be stripped from the market and considered under lemon law no matter the age! The culmination of my problems happened when leaving town, entering highway and accelerating and clicking cruise control! Immediately the car revved past 7 rpms and out of control! I had all I could do to stop it - then it died completely! The tow truck driver was also in an unsafe situation with many cars passing at high speed when he had to put special lifts on the back wheels! Scary! Towed to local Chevy dealer and without giving us the computer codes and no actual written estimate for repairs, they bluntly said metal shavings in engine and possibly a bearing and $11,500. And it-??s typical for transmission problems and steering so up to $18,500! Really"! And if no one could ever detect and fix it before, how can they now" All this with the added comment, we can-??t guarantee once we get into it that it will run properly and not need more repairs! LEMON! This is a very unsafe vehicle with notorious problems all in the face of competing with looks of other competitor cars! I praise God I was alone when this happened and no other passengers. If you love your life, family, and others, definitely join me in this recall / removal from market effort. Don-??t take my opinion, read the huge number of complaints by many other owners and past owners of any and every chevy traverse! Horrifying! Thank you for reading and acting! God Bless you!

Pulled into the driveway and put vehicle into park and turned vehicle off removed key and when I took my foot off the break the vehicle started rolling backwards. After getting to flat ground where it would not roll I tried to restart it and it would not start. I could not move the shift lever at all either. Had a mechanic friend look at it and he manually pulled the linkage forward to click it into park so I could restart it and move the vehicle. Everytime I stop and put it in park now it has to be pulled into park manually from under the hood. Have not heard yet what the problem actually is. Heard 2009 vehicles had same issue and recall was issued for it. This is definately not a good situation. Potentially could have been very dangerous.

P10017 and P0018- timing chains gone bad

- Woodlynne, NJ, USA

Tranmission jerk to change gear then drop into low gear, stop pulling.

Been having a problem with the traction system stalibak need help getting it fixed it's a known problem for a lot of people.

- West Haven, CT, USA

Randomly my car will have problems shifting gears using going into 3rd gear and the RPM will shoot up. Also when putting the car in reverse it hesitates and then starts sputtering. Once I turned the car off and restarted it it started shifting normally but about 10 minutes later it started again. I have this problem when I'm on the city streets or on the interstate. I wonder why there havent been a recall for this because I see there's other owners going through this and I have less than 101,000 miles on my car.

- Nashville, TN, USA

Traction control/stabilink system does not work properly. Vehicle will lose power while accelerating. There is a grinding noise which slowes the vehicle down. This happens each time the vehicle is driven. This is very dangerous when pulling out into traffic or onto highways where others are traveling at fast rate of speed. I see many complaints on the web when researching 2010 Chevy Traverse for problems. The VIN number of my vehicle is not included in recall but symptoms are the same as vehicles that were recalled.

- Milford, IN, USA

I was parked the traction control light came on. When I started driving the car would only go 10 mph. When I looked up the problemb it sounds like a lot of Traverse owners are having the same problem why have they not recalled. For this issue

- Leominster, MA, USA

Had the timing chain replaced once we only have 80000 miles on truck and light is on a again good maintenance and good quilty oil oil only in vehicle. Engine light came codes say timing chine.

- Tonawanda, NY, USA

Vehicle was on the highway when I got off the exit the car started making a weird noise. I tried making a right and the car jerked and almost flipped over it's the third time it does this. This is a huge safety concern. I tried fixing the issue all three times and it keeps happening.

- North Providence, RI, USA

Door locks unlock/lock and then the car seems to go into neutral and the RPM goes to about 7,000. This has killed the engine twice. GM has assigned a case number 8-423-8930914. Tcm, catalytic converter and neutral switch had been replaced and no change. Happens at various speeds - 75, 55,40,8mph and stopped. This has happened at least 30 times in the 34 days that we have owned it. It has been into the dealership four times.

I have had the power train repaired twice, once while under warranty, and then at cost. I have paid more than $2K on the repair and yet the check engine light stays on and a check of the error codes reveals the same problem. The vehicle has failed emissions testing as a result of the problem. I've seen numerous complaints on this site with the same issues. There's definitely a defect within this model year's engine system involving the power train. I am requesting an investigation and possible recall. I can't put out more money to fix a maintenance problem that will never be fixed. The car shakes as if it's idle when driving and the check engine light blinks off and on profusely. I'm afraid to drive it fearing something terrible will happen. The car was taken to waldorf Chevrolet. They are not cooperative with providing service details, one because they claim to have a new system. And they are not helpful with understanding why the power train continues to be an issue after they "repaired" it. I do have a copy of the repair documents it needed. Also, one set of seat belts in the second row have fallen apart on its own (meaning there were being used as designed and the fastener just crumbled)

The ac is hissing and smoke is coming out of the vents I can't believe there has not been a recall as I see this is a common occurrence with these vehicles!

In 2014, I had the timing chain issues. GM covered all but $1,000 of the repair. Now again, 4 years later, and 40,000 miles on the timing chain that was replaced, I'm having the exact same issue. Dealer says timing chain needs to be replaced. I am over the 5 year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty, so they tell me it won't be covered and it will all by at my own expense. This is an engineering flaw, and we the consumers are expected to foot the bill. It's not fair, and needs to expand their timing chain warranty from to the extended warranty with the extended service 11340-C. or do a complete recall!!! how there hasn't been a class action lawsuit yet is beyond me....

I took my car to the dearler in waldorf Maryland when I went to pick up my car I noticed the front end was down, I drove like I was on a tractor. It was not this way when I dropped it off. I have 3 different people that can vouch for this. The dealer ship nor GM will give me an answer. The asst ser mgt said if the mechanic failed to say something he apologized. When on the phone with GM the dealer ship would not talk to me on the phone for an explaintion but said we did nothing to your car but would not ralk on the phone only proving to be hiding something of the truth.

- Waldorf, MD, USA

There have been so many things wrong with car since we bought brand new in 2010 from the complete fuel system replaced to 3 entire brakes replaced, to transmission slipping, to tracktion stilbility control lights failing, to power steering pump, to faulty control box issues, replacement of window shield wiper motor, air conditioning/heating module. Most of this under warranity or not covered still at all in first 4 years of owning this car. Its literally a pile of junk. So many safety issues that GM wont list as a recall. People have been killed but still fail do anything. The dealer ship here in waldorf md, to conceal what they did lately to my car in damaging the front shocks and struts wouldnt even get on the phone with a conference call with me instead refused to talk to me and also ban me from the dealership which leads to more suspicion that they are hiding the truth that they did something to damage my car. This is the only dealer in town too. This isn't the first complaint. Dont buy this car. Nothing but problems, a lemon.

- Waldorf, MD, USA

P008 P0017 same problems with earlier years. This should be covered as well. Driving and check engine light comes on to show these codes. Cost for repair is way too much money.

- King William, VA, USA

Check engine light displays then engine power reduced warning comes on, causing the vehicle to slow at any time (very dangerous when on the freeway). The throttle needle and car shakes and car will cut off and stall to turn on again.

Power steering and timing chain failed in vehicle at 74K miles. There are several complaints regarding the same issues from other owners of this vehicle. General Motors has not accepted responsibility for this issue which has been widely reported. While in motion on November 4, 2017, our vehicle became difficult to maneuver eventually shutting off. Upon trying to restart the vehicle we heard a grinding sound. We immediately pushed the vehicle to a near by reputable repair shop. Upon their evaluation it was determined the timing chain was faulty and needed to be replaced. We contacted General Motors to inform them of the issue, they responded by having us to tow our vehicle to don brown Chevrolet in saint louis Missouri. General Motors asked us to authorize don brown to "break down" the vehicle in which we agreed. We were then informed because of a cost analysis being performed by General Motors and don brown, a break down of the vehicle was not necessary and nothing would be done by the manufacturer to repair the power steering or timing chain. It is widely reported old timing chains were installed in 2009-2011 Chevy Traverse which has led to several engine failures and inoperable vehicles of consumers across the country. It is irresponsible for General Motors to have not issued a recall on these vehicles with timing chains that stretch and cause engine damage. General Motors has placed a hardship on families when they refuse to cover the very expensive cost of these repairs. We purchased our vehicle less than 2 years ago from a Chevy dealer and to have it to become impossible to steer and shut off in traffic is very dangerous and needs to be investigated. General Motors has not offered any relief with an issue known to them.being out of warranty and not purchasing an extended warranty should exclude defects as in the ones stated in this complaint.
