    The vehicle regularly will not shut off due to the shifter sensor indicating it is not in park. This has affected the ability to lock the vehicle, affects the battery level, and also has been reported to cause instances where the vehicle operates as if it is in neutral instead of park...allowing it to roll although shifter is in park. Upon calling chevy, this is only covered under their bumper to bumper warranty…

    Driving down highway and all of the sudden a loud pop noise like a shotgun hit my sunroof, followed with crackling noise that immediately told me that underneath the shade that thankfully acted as a protection to me as i was driving was a my sunroof that for no apparent reason exploded. This has to be a recall of some kind! So scary!

    For the past several months we have been having difficulty turning off the engine, with an error warning us to 'shift to park', when it is already in park position. This renders the driver unable to turn off the vehicle and will lead to battery drain. We brought the vehicle once again to lucas chevrolet service department on december 31st to fix this and were made aware that this is a known problem, not yet at the…

    When i attempt to turn my vehicle off, i get a message on the screen that says to put the car in park. I verified that the car is in park and the screen reads that it is. The message continues, and the vehicle will not allow me to shut anything off or lock the vehicle. The vehicle just continues to chime. The only recourse is to disconnect the battery. But then, i cannot lock the vehicle. I have included a picture…

    When parking shift into park and car says to" shift into park", and will not turn off. Takes multiple shifts to get car to recognize it already is in park. This has done this for weeks, not just on date listed below. Still under warrantee and they charged us to fix it on 09/16/2019. Heading to dealer ship 09/17/2019 to fight for money back.

    As i was turning onto route 32 my car lost power, was shaking, and vibrating; the check engine light also came on. I took the car to the dealership. They told me the issue is being investigated under general motors and to continue to drive the vehicle even though it was a hazard to my life as it could happen again at any time.

    I was driving down the highway about 79 mph on i-65 in tennessee and all the sudden car stops while on the drive mode. Luckily no one was on my right lane, so i pulled over to the breakdown lane. It's a brand new car bought it 6 months ago and only has 3200 miles on it and it hasn't even went through it's first oil change.

    I woke up this morning and my remote key do not want to connect with the vehicle. I thought my battery die but that wasn't the case. The car would not start, locked or unlocked. The car always in my garage. I had to put the key in the transmitter pocket in order for the car start. This is very inconvenience.

    Purchased a 2018 chevrolet traverse in october. Beginning within the first 30 days the car made a loud roaring noise when @ 2100 rpm and going approximately 74 mph. Just thought it was a fluke. Then starting in december, while travelling out of town, it persisted every time we drove it. It also would lose power or something strange when putting it in gear after backing out of our driveway. We would accelerate for a…
