INTERNAL ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION. MECHANIC WILL NOT EVEN DO 90,000 TRANSMISSION SERVICE ON MY VEHICLE AND STATED THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN SEEN WITH 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSES BEING SERVICED IN THEIR SHOP AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A VEHICLE AT THIS AGE/MILEAGE.

USED MY AUTO START ON 12/24/2017 PARKED AT A HOTEL VISITING FAMILY, WHEN GOT IN VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT ON. HAD IT CHECKED ON 12/26/2017 AND INFORMED TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. ESTIMATE GIVEN OF $3400 AT A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALERSHIP. NOTIFIED GM CUSTOMER CARE AFTER BACK AND FORTH E-MAILS NOTIFIED ME THEY WOULDN'T DO ANY COST ASSISTANCE AS WARRANTY IS UP.

THE CAR STUTTERED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AND FIRST GEAR. SHE BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHUTTERING IMMEDIATELY. SHE THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT STARTED SHUTTERING VIOLENTLY AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE AT 10 MILES PER HOUR. EVEN AT THAT SPEED IT WAS STILL SHUTTERING. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE QUOTED THAT THE CLUTCH PLATES AND VALVES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $4400. THIS ISSUE COULD BECOME A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE IF THOSE PLATES DECIDE TO GO BAD WHILE AT ANY SPEED.

AT ALL PERIODS OF STOPPING AND APPLYING BRAKES AND PUTTING VEHICLE INTO THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD, APPROX 4-6 INCHES. THIS HAPPENS OF FLAT SURFACES, INCLINES, ANY AND ALL SURFACES. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS FRONT END COLLISIONS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I APPLY THE BRAKE, THEN ENGAGE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. HAPPENS ON ANY AND ALL ROAD SURFACES. VEHICLE DOES NOT LUNGE WHEN ONLY BRAKE IS APPLIED, BUT WHEN IT IS SHIFTED INTO PARK. AS SOON AS THE PARK IS ENGAGED IT LUNGES. NOTHING I DO CAN STOP THE LUNGE. VERY DANGEROUS AND I WILL RECORD VIDEO OF THIS FOR FUTURE REFERENCES IF NEED BE,

VEHICLE WITH AUTO TRANSMISSION WAS SWITCHED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE POSITION ON FLAT SURFACE. WHEN DRIVER MOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE TO GAS PEDAL VEHICLE LURCHED BACKWARD STRIKING POLE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO OBSERVED LURCHING FORWARD WHEN REVERSE LIGHTS WERE ON. DEALERSHIP REPLACED TCM CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE AND REPROGRAMED.

DURING REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING GREAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT IS LEAKING ($1500). NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. STRANGELY ENOUGH, MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AT 32,000 MILES BUT WAS COVERED UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE IN MY OPINION. *TR
