The contact owned a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle was involved in a crash. The contact stated that two children seated in the third row seats was injured due to the seat belt not retaining their forward motion. The two children seated in the third row of the vehicle hit their heads on the seat back of the middle row seats. Medical attention was sought. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent auto repair center. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 10V375000 (seat belts) or 14V266000 (seat belts. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
When driving it on the highway, the check engine light came on in the car and flashed the words: Traction control off, service stability, rear park assist off, engine power being reduced. The vehicle went from 70 mph to about 25 mph. I was almost hit by the other vehicles as this happened. The seatbelt has also not been latching fully and this morning the airbag sensor came on and said check the airbag system. But then went off after about 20 seconds, while I was stationary.this is clearly hazardous and makes driving to work and to my children's things impossible and extremely dangerous. Now I've done my research and what most people believed and mechanics was that it was the throttle body sensor being dirty, we had this cleaned last year. This also seemed to only occur after the temperature outside goes below 30 degrees. People also have found that it may be the engine module system that was serviced or sometimes the catalyst converter. But even after people have had these things serviced they have experienced the same ordeal I have and that's after having 3 or more mechanical repairs with no clue on what is actually causing the problem.
The middle bench seat belts wont click into the buckle properly, it becomes loose on its own. Putting in danger my children because their car seats can't be buckled in properly.
The steel cable on the support anchor to the seatbelt snapped while my wife was fastening it. This had a recall in 2014 and was fixed according to records. Chevrolet was contacted said problem was fixed, recall was closed, this is "normal wear and tear" this would be very dangerous in an accident. She was parked and getting ready to pull out of the driveway.
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)

While driving 5 mph and after latching the driver's seat belt in place, the seat belt icon remained illuminated for at least ten minutes before it went off. The dealer (autonation Chevrolet, 3707 West colonial drive, orlando, fl 32808) informed the contact that the mileage was too high on the vehicle to make any repairs or diagnosis. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 129,000.

I have a Chevy Traverse 2010 and the drivers rear seat belt will not stay locked. They send me a recall for the seat bell for the passenger seat but the seat bell is working very good, I took the SUV to the dealer and I told them about the problem but they told me I have to pay 200 but I think this is a recall because my car has a clean record no car accident.

On the day of purchasing the vehicle, only seconds after signing the contract, I was told the vehicle could not be driven because of safety recalls. Had to wait three weeks before getting the vehicle I purchased, very nervous after that situation. Then after only having the vehicle approximately 8 months the power steering pump, water pump, and leaking hoses went out with over $1,500 in repairs. Three days after the second incident they called, after I brought the vehicle in for more business to get an oil change, tires rotated and a safety check, and they told me the tires were unsafe and they would not rotate the tires. They further stated that they would replace the tires for approximately $800. I am now on the fifth (5th) day without the family vehicle and very stressed. A 20 year veteran retired from the United States marines is asking for your support and assistance to make a bad deal right. Here is my statement on the last 9 months with dealing with prince Chevrolet of albany, 2701 ledo road, albany, ga 31707 and my breaking down lemon and vehicle. I am outraged that this is the type of customer service I am receiving from Chevy and I want out of the contract. I no longer want anything to do with Chevy or GMC. I hope to hear back from someone other than the local prince of albany staff, they are obviously giving me the run around. Thank you prince Chevrolet for not supporting your veterans and customers of Georgia with the right service. A great way to show the example of the rich stealing from the poor. I am not rich enough or powerful enough to hold prince Chevrolet of albany, 2701 ledo road, albany, ga 31707 accountable but ask that someone assist me so I can just get back to a normal life and Transport my family around safely.
The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact received recall notices for NHTSA campaign numbers: 14V266000 (seat belts), 14V118000 (air bags), and 10V375000 (seat belts). The dealer stated that the parts needed for the repairs were unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure.
My 2010 Traverse power steering went completely out. Still not working. My truck tends to roll some after being in park on the brakes. My windows power doesn't work thru driver door. My ac stop blowing thru front vents. My seatbelts doesnt work properly. My second row pops up and glide while sitting in the seat. This truck has many problems.
Coming out of highway exit, the stop light changed to red and my 7-year old child who I thought was restrained by the seatbelt was ejected forward. The driver seat stopped her from going into the front seat and cushioned her impact. I asked if she was ok and to move seats. The right passenger seat belt does not latch, it makes the sound that it clicks but it comes off, which can fool a child, I have four!!! my 7-year old thought the she was all buckled-up when she heard the "click" but the latch was not secure into the buckle and the seatbelt gave everyone a false sense of security. She could have broken her neck if her hands did not extend out first. Scary!
Second row seat belt latches make it extremely difficult to install child seat in center of second row. Tried two different car seats, neither one fit between the buckles in the center position. In order to get the seat installed, I was required to roll up a small blanket or towel to fit between the latches in order to get the child seat up above the top of the latches. This disallowed me to use the actual seat belt to secure the child seat and I was forced to use the adjacent "latch" anchors on the outer two seats, which I know is not recommended. No other choice though for a center child seat position. The stiff buckles also cause very difficult seating for even the smallest adults and cause the passenger to need to sit sideways in order to not get bruised by the stiff buckles while going over even the smallest bump. Very poor design that needs to be replaced with more flexible buckles.
I was driving on the interstate at approximately 55-60 mph and merged right to take an off ramp to a side street when both side air bag curtains deployed without incident. There were four people in the vehicle at the time of incident and my wife suffered serious chest bruising from the seatbelt locking up. The seatbelt locking mechanism front passenger and front driver side will not retract. At the time of incident I was clearly the only thing on the road with no obstructions. This complaint should be taken very seriously and checked into by General Motors for the safety of myself and others.
The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the rear center seat belt retractor malfunctioned and as a result, the seat belt could not be utilized. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the failure was due to the belt being twisted, which would need to be realigned. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 31,000.
