Our vehicle has a hole/leak in the pipe before the catalytic converter. This is a known problem in other years of the Traverse, and the warranty was increased substantially to fix an obvious and proven issue. GM needs to repair our 2015 Chevrolet Traverse at no cost to us before the fumes cause harm to anyone in the cabin.

Transmission issues
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at the dealer for a service appointment, the contact was informed that the evaporative emissions canister control solenoid valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed of an unknown recall for the solenoid valve; however, the VIN was not associated with the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to report the failure to the federal safety agency Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.
The 2015 Chevy Traverse had a hard shifting transmission from the first day we purchased it. The Chevy Dealer said that it was a shifting software problem. That did not fix it. The hard shifting transmission caused an engine motor mount to break twice. (There was a safety recall on the motor mount) That engine motor mount caused the power steering fluid to leak out. I contacted the Chevy Dealer and they said contact General Motors. General Motors ignored the problems.
Hello, there is a recall on my vehicle and the parts are not available to replace the part. This is my only vehicle and right now I am not able to drive my vehicle because of this recall. Please Advise.

The biggest problem is that mechanics don't know how to fix this problem. Traction control needs servicing with causes you to lose acceleration on the freeway. Then sometimes stabilitrac also goes off. Now the vehicle engine keeps running when turned off. The air conditioning sometimes randomly won't work at all, and last the tire servicing system now won't sync.
