My mechanic said my timing chain is loose & there should be a recall. Also my radio goes real low in a high pitch tone & i can't hear it so that means my turn singnals are low & everything else that makes a sound is very low. Also my window controls are all starting to not work one by one. I only have 89000 miles on my car. My mechanic is telling me i should get rid of my car but i always thought chevy was a good…

This is toward chevrolet and any other vehicle makers that require excessive use of dealerships for minor maintenance. I have commuted 40 miles daily for 18 years, i have previously owned ford vehicles and had no issues with doing minor repairs myself. With my chevy vehicle i have to take it into the dealership or repair shop to change a simple headlight because of the greedy design of the vehicle. They did this on…

While the vehicle is stationary or being driven the traction control turns off, the stabilizer goes out, and the engine power reduces. I was on the highway and i lost power going from 65 mph down to 25-30 mph. I had to pull over and shut off the car, waited for 15 minutes and started driving again. I hadn't gone far and all the warnings came up again and power was reduced. While driving in town the same thing…

The air condition system won't stay cold have been told it is the evaporator possibly more but its gonna cost 1000. To 2500.00 to get fixed. I have researched and apparently thousands of people with traverse 's are or had the same issues. I think it's time for a recall to be done. My daughter had 4 children ages 2yrs 8yrs and two 10yr olds and 7 and a half months pregnant driving 90 miles round trip to work and home…

The message on the screen appears: service traction control, service stabilitrack. After, this happens, another message appears reducing engine power.

I started my suv and put it in reverse to back out of my driveway. Upon trying to turn, noticed my steering wheel was completely locked up. Tried braking so i wouldn't roll into the street with my children. Brakes were extremely resistant and hard to press down. I then put it into drive to try to get out of the street and my gas pedal was not working. I was unable to move forward, unable to steer, and barely able to…

To whom it may concern, i own a 2011 chevy traverse and the timing chain broke on my wife last weekend. This was very scary for her and my kids as they were on a mountain going into a curve. She lost all control of steering and brakes. I was wondering if there are any recalls and or help from gm on getting this car repaired. To make a long story short, i am just glad my wife and kids were fine. The outcome could of…

Service air bag light came on and displays on my dashboard. Was told the seat module was bad and needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,271.00 who would think this goes bad and costs this much too replace. This is the first gm car i ever had this issue with and i have owned quite a few over the last 20+ years.

Driving on the interstate in 95 temperatures when the front passenger side vents began blowing hot air but the driver's side was still blowing cold air. We had to open the windows as the car got hot very quickly. This distraction could've caused an accident from addressing the situation. We've seen many others having defective blend door actuators.. .updated 07-16-15 *bf updated 10/25/2017*cn

We bought the 2011 chevrolet traverse used with 99,000 miles on it. We noticed that on the car fax, other than just routine maintenance, the car had its fuel tank replaced. We questioned it, but did not think we would have problems, as the car was well taken care of. Every since we purchased the vehicle, when we fill up the car, it does not register on the fuel gauge correctly, if it registers at all. We cannot take…

Brought it to the dealer, and asked if there was anything they can do as i just purchased this vehicle not too long ago, and they stated there wasnt any recall. I would have to pay out of pocket to have…
