First issue is, when you stop driving the traverse, place it in park and hit the button to turn off the engine, it will shut off the engine but not the electronics. The car displays "action required shift to park" even though it is already in park with the red p lit up. You cannot turn off the vehicle until you repeatedly start the vehicle, place it in drive then back to park. Eventually it will work correctly.…

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…

Multiple instances have occurred where entertainment system and other areas of dash randomly shutdown while driving. Music can not be played, turn signal sounds are no longer heard, and voice operations do not work. Turning car on and off does not solve problem, however after sitting over night seems to work normal. Most recent two instances happened september 14th, 2019 and september 8th, 2019 so just a week apart.

My vehicle's transmission is lagging. It sometimes won't go when in drive and given gas. The engine will rev up but won't move. It shifts hard as well. The shift to park indicator comes on when the vehicle is in park and not moving. The radio screen sometimes won't turn off or on, like it's froze. When i turn the vehicle off and all power is off, i can walk in the house and about 4 minutes later my radio comes on by…

While driving on rainy day about 20 mph the engine would alternate between a power surge to no power. This continued for several minutes while driving (nowhere to pull over) until the engine completely died. Both the jerking forward and the shutoff while driving could have caused a horrible accident but fortunately we were lucky. The street was a city street, it was a very wet environment, and i was going straight.…

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…
