What owners say

I have had all electrical work done. The lights keep going out on my truck. I replace the low beam lights frequently. I also have problems when I pump gas. The truck stalls and does not want to crank. I have had that problem fixed before and it is doing it again.

I have had to replace my dim head lights 3 times in a year and a half. First the passenger side goes then within a few days the drivers side blows. I only notice when it happens at night so not sure exactly when they burn out but always one and then the other less than a week apart. I buy premium bulbs so I know it is not an issue with the bulb manufacturer..

Passenger side window will not go down from driver side. Driver side tries not to go down. Both headlights went out days apart. Passenger heat does not work while driver and back heat works. Tire gage says rear tire pressure low when it means the front. When air is added the next day it says tire pressure low again. Power lift gate falling. These things happen while stationary and in motion.

I bought this vehicle in october 2012. After driving for a while I noticed a funny sound coming from the steering wheel. I took it to for an oil change and was informed my power steering was leaking. I called the dealer and informed them of the issue. Due to having the vehicle over 30 days they would not repair it they stated I could use the extended warranty I purchased. I was not happy with the decision and they paid half of the deductible. So some months later I started having issues with turning corners and into my parking lot. The steering wheel would lock up and I had to use everything in me to turn the wheel. This is very concerning and scary. It is almost a year and I have had 2 recalls on this vehicle. The headlight has blown out. The interior lights have stopped working and I am not happy with this chevy traverse. I called chevrolet customer service and they said before I talk with someone I have to take the truck to a dealer and have them diagnose the problem and I have to pay for the diagnosis. They also said that they are not aware of the problem and there is no warranty at this time for the power steering only for the 2 recalls. I think we should file a class action against chevrolet. This is ridiculous that we are all having the same issues and there has not been a recall yet. Lives are at risk with these types of problems.
