What 2009 Chevrolet Traverse owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Loss of power while driving.. Traction control off warning indicator. Very dangerous when this happens at highway speeds and all of a sudden you go from 70 MPH to 30 MPH and almost get rear ended by other vehicles. See this for exactly what happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbvaoiixnxy
Stability trac , and traction control . Slowing down speed and car turning off . In motion on city street , passing by expressway.
Seatbelts and the electrical system need to get fixed.
I have been battling my check engine light all 2018 and now 2019. Not to mention the stabiliztrak and hard to turn steering wheel. I have been getting a misfire in all my coils. This issue has caused the vehicle to stutter, drink high volumes of gas and almost sent me broke. I have changed every coil, every plug, changed the stabilizer, tentioner, bearings, swaybar links and much more. I am completely done with chevy. They know this make and midel is horrible and we as customers need to do a class action lawsuit. This vehicle sounds like a tin can when it starts. It rattles and stutters while driving and it shakes when stationary.
The rear hatch would open and shut on you. I opened it and had it come down on me and it closed on my legs. The recall # 257343 was done for this but was doing it again. I would think since it's doing the same thing it would be covered again....it wasn't. I paid to have fixed.
Unsafe car to drive in with my kids. I have no traction control and very sporadic power loss! I was driving with my kids going about 30mph and spun out of control around a curve with my kids in the car. Thank the lord no one was hurt and neither was the vehicle. I try to take off from a light or stop sign and it'll either take off super fast and almost hit the car in front of me, or take off slow with no power and almost get rear ended. I bought this car used 6 months ago and the last 3 months have been very frustrating with issues of this vehicle. I've already put $300 into it and now it's saying to change the cat converter. I called the #1 local shop to get a quote and he actually said his number one supplier has stopped issuing this part to chevy traverse because of all the recalls! So what do I do now????? I am a medical courier and this traverse is my source of income. I've always loved chevys and don't buy any other brand, but c'mon. I don't have $3000 to fix electrical issues!! Especially when it is a manufacturers default and mistake!! Very unsatisfied :(
Stabilitrak light keeps coming on along with brake warning system, car power keeps cutting out, this will reset when I restart the vehicle, while vehicle is moving
The covers for the second row seatbelts seem to have strchech out of it caseing. Main issue the check engine when off and have been having issues with traction control, engine power reduced, misfire of different, oxygen sensor (after getting it replaced about 6 months ago, at chevy dealer) over $5,000 in different repairs and update and everything seems to still be having issues. Recently the ABS has been going of and was unable to drive it, at least 3 times. Most happen on highway. The engine reduces power and the car feels like being pull back if the gas is release the ABS start going off.
I was coming back from dropping off my kids at school when I heard a beeping noise and then I realized that I had loss of power, I then looked at my dashboard and the traction control light and the brake light was on, I didn't think nothing of it since it only lasted for a few minutes but the next day it happened again:( I'm so scared to drive on the freeway because I have 4 kids from ages [xxx] to [xxx] months and I can't afford to risk getting into an accident if all of the sudden my truck does that and I get hit from the back. I been looking into this issue and I can't believe how many people have the same issue I can't afford to be paying unnecessary money for a problem that needs to be looked at more deeply please help.
