Timing cover / valve covers...had to drop the engine...5K for 100,000 miles. Other 2019 Traverse have had issues for recall but not my VIN. If some VIN numbers have been recalled, then all VIN numbers with the same issue should be covered

the exhaust bracket broke 3 times had it repaired at my own expense each time. my muffler broke off at the weld. my exhaust cracked. then my catalytic converter broke off.

Broken catalytic converter at joint with exhaust pipe. Manufacturer defect with the exhaust piping.

When driving I feel shudder at lower speeds, medium speeds and sometimes faster speeds. Makes feel car motor or transmission can leave me in middle of highway or street compromising my safety. Vehicle can be inspected at any time. The dealer indicated fix was transmission oil change with additives, which I did, which cost 700.00 and the problems is still there. The vehicle has not been inspected by insurance but the dealer has as stated above. I bought vehicle with 46k miles and after about 1.5k it stated happening. Vehicle now has 50k miles. No codes have displayed.

GM has a TSB # N212356540 for one exhaust pipe. Bracket broken a causes hole in pipe. Weld was bad. Mine was bad on both pipes and only one covered by GM, this led to catalytic converter cracking and flex pipe leaking. I had to pay to have repaired. This second pipe and catalytic converter were not covered

Oil consumption issues

See attached document for complaint

RTV gasket on engine get worn out at 60,000miles and causes small oil leak and gets worst over time.

Traverse Check Engine light came on and vehicle sounded louder than usual w/ additional rattle. Upon inspection passenger side bracket holding two exhaust pipes together was broken at the weld. Took to Superior Chevrolet (dealer) 4/5/24 who stated right side pipe and bracket were not covered under Special Coverage Adjustment Front Exhaust Pipe N212356540 and only left side is covered despite the bracket being attached to both pipes. Awaiting part to complete repair at dealership. Advised by dealership vehicle is okay to drive until parts arrive and repair can be completed. 4/14/24 driving on I40 heard large bang from underneath vehicle, looked in rearview mirror to see the remaining portion of the bracket fly out from under vehicle and almost hit the car's windshield behind me, they had to swerve in heavy traffic to avoid having it go through their windshield. Vehicle immediately sounds like a motorcycle with no baffles, loud in the cabin and smelling of exhaust. Once stopped, climbed under vehicle to see that the complete bracket was missing from both pipes and a gaping hole in the drivers side front exhaust pipe. Bracket could have killed someone or caused a major accident while airborne on the Highway and cabin smells of exhaust.

Transmission oil leak

Purchased new in 2019 and first issue started less than a year later. Jerking from park to drive. Check engine light comes on, jerks when at a stop to starting to accelerate. Brought up several times to servicemen and couldn’t figure out the problem. Has continued to present

I PURCHASED THE TRAVERSE IN MARCH 2023 AND TRULY ENJOYED IT. BUT IN THE LAST WEEK IT HAS BEEN GIVING PROBLEMS TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN OFF ENGINE, IT KEEPS SAYING TO "SHIFT TO PARK" AND I HAVE TO RESTART AND CHANGE GEARS TO REDO THE PARKING IT MAY BE THE GEAR BOX NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY, AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE UNTIL I HAVE TO KEEP REDOING THE PARKING AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL STOP. I AM SO WORRIED IT WILL COME OUT OF PARK AND ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TO STREET, AS I HAVE A SLANTED DRIVEWAY AND NO OPTION TO PARK IN STREET. COULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME IF THERE IS A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS. MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE SAW A NOTICE OF IT ON HER PHONE BUT I COULDN'T FIND IT. I AM 75 YRS OLD ON LIMITED INCOME AND DONT WANT TO HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS OR CAUSE ONE. THANK YOU

I have a 2019 Chevy Traverse with 57,000 miles on it currently. First incident of loud noise coming from catalytic converter area began in Fall of 2022. In January 2023 I took it to the dealer and they found 2 cracks where the catalytic converter was cracked on each side of the pipes. I think they replaced the exhaust system at that time. Now, not even 1 year later, in 10/2023 I am hearing that same loud, embarrassing noise from my exhaust. I took it to the dealer today and there is a crack in my catalytic converter and the bracket broken off exhaust pipe that attaches to the muffler. I should not have to pay for this! In the Traverse Forum online this is a problem many people are having!

BACK BRACKET ON EXHAUST THAT IS WELDED ON HAS FAILED. THE WELD HAS FAILED CAUSING A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT JUST 43K MILES. THERE IS ALREADY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THE FRONT BRACKET ON THE 2019 CHEVY TRAVERSE.

When my vehicle is in park my vehicle will not turn off and an error comes on my screen and says shift to park.

Driving through Arizona desert and California desert, air conditioning went out. On Monday, contacted Mission Bay Chevrolet to get AC repaired. Dealership and service rep were excellent but this AC should not have failed at 39,151 miles. Diagnosis showed that Compressor clutch pulley melted freezing the compressor. I can only thank God that I had an extended warranty.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that after slowing down and coming to a stop, the START/STOP function activated however, the vehicle failed to restart. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer who diagnosed that either the starter or 350 Amp Fuse had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the bearings were also loose and needed to be tightened. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 22,200.

ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL NEEDS SERVICED. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I STARTED THE TRAVERSE AND REMAINED ON. WHEN I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE THE CODE READ A CODE OF 300. DEALER STATED THAT CODE IS FOR CYLINDER MISFIRE NOT SURE HOW MANY. RESEARCHED AND FOUND SERVICE UPDATE N192281810 THAT READS MISFIRE DUE TO CARBON TRACKING RELEASED DATE OF MARCH 2019. IT IS THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS DURING THE SERVICE PORTION OF THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD. MY VEHICLE IS NOW PAST THAT AND IS MISFIRING AND READING OUT THIS CODE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF MILES DUE TO FAULTY COILS, COIL PACK OR SPARK PLUGS. IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED SERVICE UPDATE IT STATES THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY GM. ATS, CTS, CAMARO AND TRAVERSE. WHEN DOING FURTHER RESEARCH THERE IS NOT A WAY TO FIND OUT IF DEALER DID THE SERVICE WHEN GM SENT OUT THE SERVICE UPDATE. I LOOKED BACK AT ALL MY RECORDS FOR SERVICES THAT THE DEALER DONE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND SEE NO INDICATION THAT THIS SERVICE WAS PERFORMED.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DIAGNOSTICS STATED CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS THE ISSUE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.. VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 15K MILES AND OWNED FOR ABOUT 14 MONTHS.

VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. COULD NOT ACCELERATE. STRONG CHEMICAL ODOR.

WHEN BRAKING TO DO A U-TURN AND NOT STOPPING THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND DOESN'T COME BACK ON RIGHT AWAY. AND IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT FROM A CAR FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION. WE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT FIVE TIMES NOW.
