2014 Chevrolet Traverse Engine

The dealer ( P & C Auto of Vance SC) used a code reader to clear out safety codes before the car was purchased. After having a diagnostic test done, a mechanic was able to show the codes and when they were cleared. He recommended returning the car back as it was not safe to operate. I would like to have this looked at. I sent a letter to both the dealer and the finance company ( Mid Atlantic of Clearwater Florida) to be reimbursed so that I can purchase a car from elsewhere and to have this car removed from my credit report. The car has been at the mechanic since May where it was towed after being dragged across the road and stalling out. It sat overnight because it would not start. He is unable to repair. Both parties have failed to return my phone calls, emails, or written requests. I've met with an attorney and I'm ready to pursue legal actions because I could have been killed along with my children on several occasions. Please check this car out and the safety codes (P1682 and P0689)

- Engine locked up and does not turn at all - Engine failed while our son was driving on the hwy to school and the car stalled. He was not able to turn the steering wheel and the gas peddle would not work. Luckily he knew to get off the road right away. - Gustmans Chevrolet in Kaukauna, WI confirmed this problem. After doing research and talking with the dealership. They said they are finding this is a common issue in the 2012-2014 Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclaves, and Acadias. - Just the dealership as of now - The check engine light went on and then went off the day before. No other message in the vehicle popped up. - The sad part is most of these vehicles are still in good shape and well taken care of. To be told we can only get $500 for this vehicle is just wrong. These vehicle engines should last longer than 9-10 years, Especially when we have done all the other maintenance on our vehicle.

[XXX] I WAS GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. ENGINE REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON I LOST ALL POWER OF THE VEHICLE, I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FORCED OFF OF THE ROAD BECAUSE MY ENGINE DIED. I WENT FROM DOING 70 MPH DOWN TO 10 MPH AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING REAR ENDED. This would have caused a chain reaction rear end crash with multiple vehicles. WHEN I GOT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD I WASN'T ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE STARTED. I waited about 10 minutes tried it again. It turned over with yellow engine light remaining on. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. 1 HAVE SEEN WHERE THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE AND WONDERING WHY IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THERE LIFE. This is my only vehicle and I feel that it is unsafe to drive. I have a one year old granddaughter and her safety is at risk. Please help fix this problem as we need a car to drive.

FOR THAT LAST 9 MONTHS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY. AT TIMES, IT FLASHES REALLY FAST BEFORE MY ENGINE STARTS MAKING A RUMBLING NOISE. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES WITH THEM DOING THE FOLLOWING: REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, FUEL INDUCTION SERVICE, NEW SENSOR BOX AND NEW WATER PUMP. THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. IT IS CURRENTLY AT ANOTHER CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT 15 MILES FROM ME. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND STILL NO WORD AS TO WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES IT'S WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND IT STAYS ALL WHILE BEEN DRIVEN. WHEN THE LIGHT FLASHES AND THE VEHICLE MAKES THE RUMBLING NOISE IT IS WHILE BEING DRIVEN AND STATIONARY. THE RUMBLING NOISE WILL STOP ONCE I PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. BUT THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON.

WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGED THIS WEEK I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A SLIGHT LEAK BEGINNING IN THE FRONT COVER. THE CAR HAS ONLY 53,600 MILES. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED?

THE ENGINE LIGHT, STABIL TRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGES COME ON. THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN LEAVING 1-2 MINUTES TO GET OVER.

THE CAR SUDDENLY REDUCES POWER AND TAKES ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES BEFORE ALL POWER GOES OFF AND CAR WILL NOT DRIVE ANY MORE.

WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN JERK LIKE IT LOOSES POWER AND THEN PULLS REALLY BAD. TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY THAT THEY DONT KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING.

OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS 10 MONTHS I HAVE LOST THE COOLANT IN MY AIR CONDITIONER. THEY HAVE FILLED IT SEVERAL TIMES, ADDING DYE, BUT HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE LEAK EVEN THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGED IT WAS LOST. SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS RUNNING OUT WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN AFTER DYE HAD BEEN ADDED AND THEY FINALLY STARTED TO LOOK AT THE EVAPORATORS. THEY COULD NOT THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE FRONT EVAPORATOR SINCE A FULL INSPECTION REQUIRES REMOVAL OF THE DASHBOARD. THEY LOOKED AT THE REAR EVAPORATOR AND FOUND SOME CORROSION (WITH A MIRROR) AND A PINHOLE LEAK.. WHEN THEY WENT TO ORDER A NEW PART AND GM HAD A FOOTNOTE THAT IF THEY WERE ORDERING A REPLACEMENT EVAPORATOR THEY SHOULD ALSO ORDER AND REPLACE THE BLOWER MOTOR SINCE THE COPPER IN THE MOTOR BRUSHES WAS ATTACKING THE ALUMINUM EVAPORATOR. (THE MORE YOU USED THE AC, THE SOONER IT WOULD SHOW UP AND CAUSE THE CORROSION. THIS IS WHY EACH TIME IT TOOK ABOUT 8 MONTHS FOR THE COOLANT TO LEAKED OUT.) BOTH REAR AC PARTS WERE REPLACED BUT THE BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE FRONT EVAPORATOR WAS NOT REPLACED AND THIS MAY ALSO BE GOING BAD. WE WON'T KNOW FOR A WHILE SINCE WE WON'T BE USING THE AC DURING THE FALL AND WINTER MONTHS. ALSO, IF THESE MOTORS CORRODE THE ALUMINUM EVAPORATOR, IT COULD EASILY ATTACK OTHER ALUMINUM PARTS IN THE CAR AND OF COURSE THE COOLANT HAS BEEN LEAKING INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR, BOTH OF WHICH WHICH MAY BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN.CHEVROLET WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DID NOT TO RECALL THESE CARS SINCE GENERALLY THE ISSUE MAY NOT SHOW UP UNTIL THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE E-MAILS FROM JOHN THORNTON CHEVROLET'S SERVICE MAN ALONG WITH A PICTURE OF THE EVAPORATOR BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ATTACH THEM TO THIS COMPLAINT FORM.

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING, WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING IT WILL RUN ROUGH, BUCK AND NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. WHEN YOU STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR ALL OF THE SYSTEM LIGHTS TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SERVICED THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE INJECTORS ON ONE SIDE, THEN FIVE MONTHS LATER IT STARTED AGAIN. WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOW AT THE FIRST DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACED THE INJECTORS AND NO SYSTEM CODES PRESENTED AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE.

AS THE VEHICLE WAS DRINING 50 MPH, THE CAR PULLED TO ONE SIDE AND SLOWED. AND WAS NOT EASILY CONTROLLABLE. NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT I HAD TO GO OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO SAFELY PULL OVER. THE "TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF" LIGHT CAME ON AT THE DASHBOARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES. I HIT THE BUTTON TO TURN ON TRACTION CONTROL BUT IT DID NOTHING.

DURING DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED 65 MPH THE POWER WAS TOTALLY LOST. "STABILITRAK, TRANCTION CONTROL, REDUCED ENGINE POWER" SHOWED UP ON THE DISPLAY OF THE DASHBOARD. I WAS LUCKY TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY. *TR
