2018 Chevrolet Traverse Engine

TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, CAR STARTED EXCESSIVELY JERKING AND STALLING (VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHILE TURNING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT) TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP AND SAID GM DOES NOT HAVE A 'FIX' FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION. THERE ARE 'CONCERNS WITH ALL 4 OR PAIRS OF CAMSHAFT POSITION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DCTS P0011 P0014 P0021 AND P0024. DEALERSHIP CLEARED CODES AND WE WERE TOLD 'CHANCES ARE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN'

WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE AUTO STOP ENGAGED AS USUAL. HOWEVER, UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE TO PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT WOULD NOT RUN PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH/JERK FORWARD THEN LOSE POWER OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT FELT LIKE WE WOULD GET WHIPLASHED FROM THE MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF OF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT IN ORDER TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP FOR ADVICE. THEY ADVISED TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT IN ORDER TO RESET THE SYSTEMS. WHILE THIS RESTORED THE ABILITY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL BE GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN 3 DAYS (THE EARLIEST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT) TO BE EVALUATED.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO A COLLEGE INTERVIEW FROM RIO GRANDE CITY TX TO AUSTIN TX; WHILE SHE WAS PASSING BY PLEASANTOWN TX, THE SUV REDUCED THE SPEED BY ITSELF AND SHE COULD NOT GET IT UP PASSING 25 MILES PER HOUR. IT SEEMED LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. SHE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER AND IS STILL THERE.

AT 7,256 MILES, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DALE WILLEY AUTOMOTIVE REPLACED THE ENGINE COOLANT FAN MOTOR & ASSEMBLY, AS IT WAS INTERMITTENTLY TURNING ON & OFF, CAUSING A CODE TO BE FIRED FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT. THE RADIATOR ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A LEAK. ALSO, A FUSE HAD TO BE REPLACED THAT WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY BY THE FACTORY WITH A PLASTIC COATING COVERING THE METAL CONTACT OF THE FUSE WHICH WAS CAUSING INTERMITTENT POWER .
