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!

Two items: Item 1. Transmission switched to neutral by itself traveling at 65 mph. At about 5-6 seconds after the incident, transmission resumed with no further problem. This has happened 3 times. First time was mid 2022. Second and third times happened in late 2022. Appeared to be an intermittent problem. Took to dealership. It happened to a mechanic who drove the vehicle. Dealership thought they fixed the problem. A dealership mechanic, while addressing item number 2 below in 3rd week of April 2023, experienced the motor going into neutral. They had replaced the ignition switch to possibly fix item #2, and were test driving the car, when during the test drives, the motor went into neutral by itself two separate test drives. Item 2. While driving at highway speeds on a freeway in mid February 2023, the engine stopped (speedometer and RPM gauges went to zero). The whole dashboard went black. Power steering was lost. Was lucky to be able to pull over to side of road and stop. Turning ignition key off and on did not restart the car. Took ignition key out, replaced the ignition key, and the car started right up and we were able to continue our journey. This has happened 3 times total so far since February 2023. It has happened at random times. The dealership has not seen any computer feedback to indicate what is wrong for item 1 or item 2 here. So now, there is a new ignition switch, and we are hoping item 2 will not happen on a freeway, or on a crowded road, or anywhere!. I feel fortunate we had a way to pull off to the side of the road. If I was in a middle lane, I don-??t know what could have happened. It could have been a pileup accident.

I was driving at approximately 30mph on a road the traction control/stability track light came on and my car lost almost all power. it went from 30 to about 5mph. thankfully i was on a slower road and close to my house so I was able to get home. If I would have been on a highway I could have been killed. i quick google search showed thousands of other complaints with the same problem, my question is why is nothing being done. are they waiting for a certain number of deaths??

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.

Vehicle started having a rattling noise when it was started, coming from the passenger side of the motor at just under 86k miles on the odometer. I have been advised by a Certified Mechanic that the timing chain has stretched, receiving a stored code of P0008 with no Check Engine Light being active. The entire timing chain assembly now has to be replaced.

My check engine light started coming on and found out from mechanic there was an issue with the stretching of the timing chain (P0008). Car started making clanging noises and now needing a $3000 repair. After researching the problem, I have found out that there was an ongoing problem with belts and had recalls for 2009, which was covered. Gm knowing there was a faulty design tried to reprogram the oil life monitor as a corrective action for the population of vehicles meaning THEY recognized the sensitivity of system. It wasn-??t effective enough because now people are having issues at higher mileage and outside their warranty. GM knew this would happen and are now pushing the cost onto their loyal customers. GM needs to show loyalty to their customers and own up to the poor design. My traverse is now drivable and with all the financial difficulties of the pandemic, I can-??t afford the repair.

I was driving my 2010 Chevrolet Traverse lt on the freeway, when with no warnings at all. The engine shut off at 67 mph in mid heavy traffic. I pointed her to the center divider since I was in the fast lane. We came to a halt and I wasn't all the way out of traffic. I got it home to my mechanic and he said he had no idea what happened at all to her, since I had just had her serviced and was told she was ready to travel. My mechanic was dumb founded and showed me just in the last year this has happened to many driver's with my same car. And mine was just serviced and a new starter put is, as well as the timing belt looked over. Oil changed, transmission looked at, new catalytic converters valves cleaned, plugs replaced, and fast tank and lines purged and cleaned.

A few months ago my check engine light came on. I had my mechanic test it and it came back for timing chain. He said he knew right away when he saw the code because he's seen a lot of Traverse's with timing chain problems. I had less than 90,000 miles on my car! I called GM but they said there is no recall for my vehicle. Last month I found out my cousin just had her timing chain replaced on her Traverse just before 100,000 miles. There are also a ton of forum posts about Traverse timing chain issues. It's absurd such a crucial part is fault in so many of these cars. A recall needs to be issued.

- Wilmington, IL, USA

As I was driving the engine cut off in the middle of the road and the car wouldn't start. This happened without warning. No engine lights, temperature gauge, etc. I was traveling at about 35 mph and had just let off the accelerator to make a turn when I noticed the powering steering was out and realized the engine had cut off unexpectedly. Thank god I had just got off the expressway. This is very dangerous and after searching the internet saw a lot of other people have had the same issue. This should be of grave concern and a safety recall should be issued.

I am contacting you regarding a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse lt I purchased from carvana. The vehicle was delivered on Sunday, October 13, 2020.

I was contacted via phone on the delivery date via carvana customer advocate to instruct me the vehicle driver side-view mirror, driver door latch was damaged in route to the carvana hub located in birmingham, Alabama. The advocate advised me they can re-scheduled the delivery to have it repaired. I informed the advocate I was in desperate need of a vehicle and could not afford for it to be re-scheduled again. She assured me that I can take the vehicle to a certified service center and have a service advisor to give them a call to cover the labor and repairs and they will cover it. Unfortunately, I had been without a vehicle from October 2019 to March 2020 after receiving this vehicle it has been issue after issue. The repairs that was done is listed below.

Recently bought this Traverse 2010 ltz from a private owner after 200 miles on the road the check engine light triggered a few codes P0008-P0017-P0420, upon extensive diagnostics at four different places. From high end authorized Chevy dealers to local auto repair shops it has been determined the timing chain needs replacement. These same issues were recalled and investigated for the previous year 2009 on these models and obviously it has not been solve for the 2010. Why there is no recall for this car yet, how many complaints does it take to take action. We are in the middle of an emergency and financial crisis with big car companies being bail out. Private owners like me don't have the funds to cover a repair for over $3500. This was definitely my mistake but I was coming from a long ownerships line of Chevy cars from Cruze to Malibu and now the Traverse. But this issue is just too much. The life time of chain it is designed to go along with the engine lifetime. Obviously that isn't happening for the Traverse 2010. Please take action we need a solution this is definitely a safety hazard on this vehicles.

Vehicle with 110,000 miles with regular maintenance. Has codes P0017 and P0008 requiring a new timing chain. Timing chains are supposed to last the life of the motor. When do motors only last 100K miles? this known issue from 2009 has not been fixed and needs to be recalled.

While driving the car down the highway the check engine light came on. When pulling to the side if the road the car just shut of and went dead. Tried restarting the car it wouldn't start. Had it towed to the shop and I now have a $8,900 bill because the engine seized up due to the timing chain. So I now have a big blue permanent yard fixture because who can afford to fix this car in the pandemic. I've have researched this and there has been alot of people with this issue. Why has there not been a recall to fix this known issue" this is very dangerous. Why is Chevy not fixing this problem with these vehicles?"
