Many electrical issues. First the dvd player went out then the air and heat quit blowing, during this the car would occasionally lose power completely while driving but could be bumped back on by jamming on the gas or restarting the car. The vehicle started locking in my key and setting off the anti theft electric lockdown. We replaced the battery and some of the issues stopped briefly (the anti theft and power loss) but the battery completely drained within a month and the vehicle will no longer start or allow the battery to charge via jump or charge pack.

Traction control/stabilink system does not work properly. Vehicle will lose power while accelerating. There is a grinding noise which slowes the vehicle down. This happens each time the vehicle is driven. This is very dangerous when pulling out into traffic or onto highways where others are traveling at fast rate of speed. I see many complaints on the web when researching 2010 chevy traverse for problems. The VIN number of my vehicle is not included in recall but symptoms are the same as vehicles that were recalled.

The check engine light has been on for two years in my traverse and my local mechanic doesn't know why. For about the same amount of time, when filling the tank we have to turn all electronics off and then after the fill we have to pump the gas pedal and coax it into starting. Again, local mechanic doesn't know what to do that won't cost a fortune, so advised to continue driving if what we do works. For the last month or so the stabilitrak warning light has come on periodically and then the reduced engine power light also comes on. This happens when it is really cold. At first nothing else happened, but the last three times we did lose power. I went down to 40mph while driving on the interstate and then at 21 below last night we couldn't go over 10-15 MPH. After turning the car off for a while it normally re-sets which it did last night and we finally made it home. This engine power reduction and stabilitrak issue happens while driving. The check engine light is always on when the car is on.

When you turn a corner, park in a parking spot, back up the power steering goes out. Anytime you turn the wheel the power steering goes out. It will cost over $2,000.00 to fix this issue. I have never had a vehicle lose power steering when you turn the wheel. I do not believe my vehicle is an isolated incident.
