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…

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…

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…

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.

I bought this traverse used with only 7,000 miles. After about a year, the radio and screen would not turn off after turning the car off and opening the door. It would remain on even after turning the ignition on and off or opening the drivers door several times. The front passenger window does not go down using the driver side controls, despite multiple attempts to fix it. I have learned to live with the issues…

While at a stop sign our 2010 traverse shut off. It powered down everything, it would start up again but would shut down several times again. My son was in the passenger seat and noticed when he pressed down on a certain spot on the passenger side floor the car shut off. We have our car at the chevrolet place now and they were very skeptical until my son placed his foot on the spot and the car shut down right in…
