2010 Chevrolet Traverse transmission problems

Filed Aug 8, 2023 · Engine, Steering · MN

This vehicle is dangerous. Looks great on the outside but horrible on the inside under the hood! Since my son bought one for me it’s had problems with engine revving and not shifting gears, and air conditioner continually going out even after repairs, and power steering leaks. I kept taking it to repair and oddly no technician anywhere could help! Read the reviews and watch the youtubes! This vehicle (all years) should be stripped from the market and considered under lemon law no matter the age! The culmination of my problems happened when leaving town, entering highway and accelerating and clicking cruise control! Immediately the car revved past 7 rpms and out of control! I had all I could do to stop it - then it died completely! The tow truck driver was also in an unsafe situation with many cars passing at high speed when he had to put special lifts on the back wheels! Scary! Towed to local Chevy dealer and without giving us the computer codes and no actual written estimate for repairs, they bluntly said metal shavings in engine and possibly a bearing and $11,500. And it’s typical for transmission problems and steering so up to $18,500! Really?! And if no one could ever detect and fix it before, how can they now? All this with the added comment, we can’t guarantee once we get into it that it will run properly and not need more repairs! LEMON! This is a very unsafe vehicle with notorious problems all in the face of competing with looks of other competitor cars! I praise God I was alone when this happened and no other passengers. If you love your life, family, and others, definitely join me in this recall / removal from market effort. Don’t take my opinion, read the huge number of complaints by many other owners and past owners of any and every chevy traverse! Horrifying! Thank you for reading and acting! God Bless you!

Pulled into the driveway and put vehicle into park and turned vehicle off removed key and when I took my foot off the break the vehicle started rolling backwards. After getting to flat ground where it would not roll I tried to restart it and it would not start. I could not move the shift lever at all either. Had a mechanic friend look at it and he manually pulled the linkage forward to click it into park so I could restart it and move the vehicle. Everytime I stop and put it in park now it has to be pulled into park manually from under the hood. Have not heard yet what the problem actually is. Heard 2009 vehicles had same issue and recall was issued for it. This is definately not a good situation. Potentially could have been very dangerous.

Randomly my car will have problems shifting gears using going into 3rd gear and the RPM will shoot up. Also when putting the car in reverse it hesitates and then starts sputtering. Once I turned the car off and restarted it it started shifting normally but about 10 minutes later it started again. I have this problem when I'm on the city streets or on the interstate. I wonder why there havent been a recall for this because I see there's other owners going through this and I have less than 101,000 miles on my car.

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.
