The check engine light popped up in the morning and two hours later the car was idling and started to shake while idling. The traction control light turned on and the check engine light started to flash and the message center said service the stabilitrak and then the vehicle stalled. As i am driving down the road you can feel the vehicle losing power.

My car has been very well taken care of and still is only at 70,000 miles. Prior to a [redacted] time with my husband and two children i went in for a regular maintenance and to prep for the trip. After getting back my struts went out, apparently a chevy defect. After paying upwards of $1,000.00 to replace and check everything we headed on the road. No less that 60 miles from home, while going 65 on the freeway, my…

Then when i let go of my gas for 5 seconds to stop the shaking it stalls and i have to push the gas pump at least 3 times to make it drive. It also smells like my gas is leaking and it is worse when i turn left or right.…

The first night when the temperature dropped below 40 degrees my car wouldn't start so i replaced my battery spending $188 for a brand new battery. The very next morning the car still wouldn't start so i got someone to jump me off. It cranked with no issue. When i put the car in drive it would not accelerate beyond 35mph. I then attempted to turn around and go home and my car would only reverse and would no longer…

Ac does not work properly, freon leakingout in 2018. Serviced several times in 2018 ( a minimum of 3 times) for this problem (blowing hot air instead of cold) supposedly addressed but continues to be a problem in 2019. Seems to be a widespread problem across the board. Help

The ac evaporator has been leaking for years, and it has taken several refills of freon to locate the issue. Freon is being blown into the cabin which is a toxic substance. While driving the air vents blow out a fog from the leak. Eventually the freon runs out and the cabin heats up causing drowsiness while driving. I am fixing the issue by replacing the evaporator, but it will probably wear out again and cause…

At 59,346 the air conditioning quit blowing cold air. I had to have the discharge line replaced for $408.00. This looks to be a common problem.

The power lift gate falls prematurely. I click the button to open it and it goes up. But as soon as it gets fully lifted, it immediately goes back down. I've seen where there is a recall campaign #15v415000 on traverses produced july 6, 2008 - february 28, 2012. My vin, however, isn't listed in that recall for some reason. It is doing exactly what the recall lists on all of these other traverses. I'd just like to be…

When it is cold outside there is no sound in the traverse. No music, back up waning, or turn signal noise. The care has to warm up to make sound.

The car's engine sounds too loud. I bought the car late december 2015 and i told the servce advisor that something is wrong with the wiring because the light bulb needed to change, sounds from speakers would bounce off from one speaker to another, the windows would not go back up, and engine was louder than usual. Two weeks ago, while i was on i-95 with my kids, the engine light came on, the car automatically slowed…

The driver center said the traction control shut off and it also stated to service stabillitrack. The engine seemed to slow itself as well. I parked the vehicle and waited a few minutes. The warning lights finally went off on their own and the traction control turned back…
