On March 4, 2023, I purchased a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse from Landers Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram located in Norman, Oklahoma. Before actually purchasing the vehicle and after inspection it was stated to the dealership that the [XXX] would not purchase the vehicle with the various problems notated before purchase. After receiving a verbal agreement that the problems would be fixed my wife and I signed the contract. My wife and I took the car to Lawton Oklahoma from Mach 4 to March 8 when we were to return the vehicle for repairs. Then on March 17, 2023, we picked the vehicle up from Landers after repairs. After leaving Landers Chrysler and then getting onto HE Bailey Turnpike the vehicle’s check engine light came back on, and the passenger headlight was out again. However, on March 20, 2023, [XXX] wrote a letter to Landers Chrysler with several complaints which needed to be rectified. •RE: Failure to disclose material information, and/or making a false representation of a present or past material fact such as a diagnostic trouble code: (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold [possible needed repairs] 2015 Chevrolet Traverse) known to dealer, and by the dealer’s failing to disclose such information involving the vehicle's history to a recent purchaser, and Lending Institution. Landers Chrysler did fix the problem with the check engine light, but refused to fix the front headlight problem, and told the [XXX] that since they had a service contract, that should cover the headlight situation. However, that is not the case. The service contract does not cover headlight problems, and Classic Chevrolet where the vehicle is now located wants to charge me over $2000 to fix the problem. Although my wife and I thought that the headlight was fixed, it was later learned that it was not. I sincerely believe that Landers Chrysler knew that the headlights and possibly light switches had serious problems, then sold the vehicle knowing this.

I come to a stop then my SUV starts to shake then turns off as I am at a light or about to turn at a stop. When I push an the gas pedal the whole SUV shakes and sometimes the check engine light turns on right before the whole car just turn off when I come to a stop. I've had all 4 co2 sensors changed. Everything the dealership has told me to fix I have paid to have done on my car. And yet my problem is the same thing for the past 3 years. I couldn't return it because I waited to long after my warranty. Now I am told to keep paying for services I have already paid to have done. Even though it happens to be the same thing the system is showing up on the computer. I have a lemon on my hands and need help figuring out what can be done to fix this.

I was driving on the interstate at 60 miles per hour. The car jarred forward , made a popping sound and lost power and the engine speed dropped. I got off the interstate the car shut down and would not go. The stability trac came on the dash as well as the check engine light. I turned the car off for about 15 seconds and the car started and I drove home. I looked this up on youtube and found out the car does not keep a memory of the code the car throws when this happen. After the car sits all night it "resets" itself and the engine light goes off. This is the third time this has happened and I was lucky it did not stall in the middle of the interstate . This is a huge safe issue I haul my child and granddaughter in this vehicle. This is a serious safety issue and chevy knows about it. Get it fixed, do a recall.

While driving, my reverse camera came on, service engine light, traction control turned off, alerts for parking assist off, service traction control, service stabilitrax. Loss engine power and was not able to accelerate over 10mph while flooring the gas. This happened on a low traffic road thankfully or one of my children could have died in an accident. The alerts began while driving down a hill, the engine loss was noted when I turned. Apparently there are pages and pages of forums regarding this exact issue with the traverse. How is there not a recall? How many people must die in accidents caused by engine power loss before you do anything?!

Car engine says check engine turn off oil pressure is low. It also reads sensor p011. While driving on the freeway. Look like chevy engines are not built to last poor engine. 2011 chevy tahoe have the exact same thing... Lots of mechanic don't want to mess with these engines because it's designs are bad and needs to be recalled. Bad make with chevy company period...
