The battery tray located behind the passenger seat in the floor was compromised by a piece of steel debris on the highway. The battery split in half and battery acid came through the access door in the floor which was also inadequately secured. The door flew into the compartment along with battery acid from the split battery. and came disconnected exposing the passenger compartment. The vehicle is still available for inspection. My wife was struck by battery acid, luckily she had on a winter jacket protecting her arm, the sleeve was completely coated. She did receive minor 1st degree burns on her face and evidence of abrasions on her right cornea as well. If anyone was in the back seat the passengers would have suffered major leg injuries from the impact and flying debris. They would have had major chemical burns from the battery acid entering the passenger area, the acid completely coated the back seat and passenger rear door as well as the headliner. The vehicle has not het been to a dealer due to pending legal actions and insurance review. No inspection of the component has been done as of yet. There were no warning indicators present.
No incident has occurred, but the recall was issued almost a year ago with no remedy. This recall could result in my death or the death of my children. This is unacceptable.
We are almost near a year and GM/Chevrolet has not remedied recall #23V334.
MY 2017 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE IS DEFECTIVE. WHILE IN MOTION THE DASH WILL RANDOMLY LIGHT UP WITH "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY "TRACTION CONTROL ON". A FEW MOMENTS LATER, WHILE STILL IN MOTION, "SERVICE STABILITRAX" APPEARS WHILE EVERY DIAL ON THE DASH GOES TO ZERO, THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT, THE DIALS GO UP AND THE GAS PEDAL STOPS WORKING AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE DEALER FOR A 3RD TIME AND THE SERVICE SHOP "CANNOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER CONCERNS". THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IN TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY DOES NOT ACCELERATE.
PASSENGER DOOR HANDEL BROKE AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE THEY WAY IT'S MADE IN THE WHOLE UNIT NOT JUST A SIMPLE HANDEL BROKEN WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR . NO PRESSURE APPLIED IT JUST STOP WORKING
