2016 Chevrolet Traverse Power Train

the transmission lost power and almost caused an accident with the vehicle behind me

Transmission solenoid. Common. Needs to be reported. Its know as the week link to this vehicle. The manufacturer knows and there are many complaints. This vehicle needs to be recalled. Safety concern while driving.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle began to lose motive power and was making a loud abnormal sound coming from under the floorboards. The contact stated that the transmission warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to pull over and turn off the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was restarted and shifted to drive(D), the vehicle revved but failed to respond as needed. The contact shifted to reverse(R) however, the vehicle failed to move. The contact called a tow truck and had the vehicle towed to a local dealer, where it was determined that there were fragments of metal in the transmission and that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.

Automatic transmission failure at only 62,169 miles. No reverse, slipping in drive. Towed 2016 Chevy Traverse to AAMCO Transmission Total Car Care and had to replace the transmission.

I routinely get my car checked and fixed at Jeff Wyler Chevrolet of Columbus in Canal Winchester, OH. I can’t believe that my 2016 Chevrolet Traverse transmission pump and gasket, also my reseal oil pan has to be replaced this soon. This should have a recall. I’ve had to pay a total of $5,568.72

Transmission failure- complete failure and required total replacement, car only has 73,000 miles. There were no warning lamps on or errors. Received a notice from GM that the car was in good condition via On Star also. Had three separate mechanics review issue. Issue appear couple weeks ago. Safety Issue!!!!!!!!!!!!

ON 2/19/2018 WHILE ON A TRIP, OUR 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE WITH 29,000 MILES ON IT HAD A CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE 40 AT SHAMROCK, TEXAS. WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK AND BARLEY MISSED A FATAL ACCIDENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BY IRISH ROAD SERVICE TO THE CLOSEST CHEVROLET DEALER (WARE CHEVROLET BUICK) IN WHEELER, TEXAS. THIS WAS APPROXIMATELY 16 MILES ($175) ' WHEN WE ARRIVED THERE I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON THE CAR AND TO TOW IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. I TALKED TO SERENA IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT AUTONATION CHEVROLET IN AMARILLO, TX AND SHE TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT TOW THE CAR BUT WOULD WORK ON IT IF I GOT IT THERE. . I HAD THE CAR TOWED APPROX. 100 MILES TO AUTONATION CHEVROLET ON FEBRUARY 20 ($575). PER THE DEALER IN AMARILLO THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT ON THIS TRANSMISSION FOR THE FAILURE OF THE 3-5-R CLUTCH PACK SO THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FIX DONE AS A RECALL INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION HAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THIS IS EXACTLY THE PART REPLACED BY THIS DEALER PER THE INVOICE FROM THAT REPAIR. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET 4 TIMES ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR THE TOWING AND COSTS TO STAY IN AMARILLO. TWO TIMES THEY CUT ME OFF - THE 3RD TIME ON 3/5/18 THEY TOLD ME TO WRITE A LETTER TO ROAD SIDE SERVICE TO REQUEST THE REIMBURSEMENT. I DID THIS WITH COPIES OF ALL RECEIPTS ON 3-5-18. I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING SO ON 3/27/18 I CALLED THE 1-800-243-8971 AGAIN AND TALKED TO SOFIA. SHE TOLD ME THAT SINCE I DID NOT CALL THEM INITIALLY ON 2/19/18 TO HAVE THEM TOW THE CAR I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A REIMBURSEMENT.
