Filed Oct 5, 2023 · Engine, Transmission · 130,000 miles · SD

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving between the 1500 - 2000 RPMs the engine would begin to feel as if it were misfiring. The vehicle would seem to hesitate and jerk whenever accelerating as if there was a delayed throttle response. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer twice at which time the spark plugs and boots had been replaced. Sometime after doing so, while driving approximately 35 MPH there was suddenly grinding noise coming from the front-end. After slowing down to approximately 20 MPH, in response to the grinding noise, the vehicle suddenly jerked then stalled. There were no warning lights. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

The electrical in the car is bad. I know others with Chevrolets and are having the same issue. The power windows nor doors work on my passenger side with the key or door controls. Also their is a squeaking noise when braking in my brake pedal. With new pads and rotors the car don’t stop smoothly, feel vibration in the steering wheel. The car is already having an error for the EVAP canister purge control valve. The car isn’t tht old to be needing to replace this already.

I have a 2017 traverse, bought it with just a few thousand miles on it back in 2017. I started having problems the day after I bought it. The car would die almost every day. Finally got that issue fixed. A few months later the washer fluid stopped working. I took it in to have it looked at and they said it had a hole in it. I had it replaced. A few months later my engine starts making a really loud noise when accelerating and my steering wheel would get so tight when I turned it, that I couldn't turn. I took it to be looked at and was told it had a hole in the steering pump and a pin needed to be replaced as well as the pump. I had that replaced. A few weeks later I'm getting gas and try to start my car and it stalls. I try to start it again and it starts, but it acts like it wants to die. The fuel gauge needle stays on e, even though I just filled my tank up. This same issue has happened 3 times now after getting gas. My steering has starting making a squeaking noise when I turn it. My engine is so loud when I'm driving, it's definitely not a normal sound. When my car sits in park with the engine in you can hear the engine whistling and revving up on its own, and then it acts as though it wants to die.

Sometimes when taking off from a start there is a shudder from the transfer case area or the rear end like the gears aren't matching up and are grinding before they fully engage. This also happens sometimes after the car shifts from1st to 2nd and sometimes when you are coming to a stop and the light goes green and you give it some gas to start through the light or you make a turn and give it gas to get up to speed after your turn. The car is all wheel drive. We had it at the dealership for a good month, they replaced rear end and clutch parts on the transfer area and other things. They didn't know what it was they also reprogrammed the transmission because it didn't take all the information it should have. Any problems like this you know off what do we do? This has happened a year ago and is happening now

My engine, while the car was stationary, made a loud cranking noise. It sounded like large metal pieces grinding together. The entire car would then rumble and the engine light would come on. After sitting for a while it would stop. The rumbling would happen almost every time my vehicle is at a standstill. It would also do a jerking motion while driving on the road. The gm repair mechanics said it was a small valve. They replaced it but the same thing continued to happen. My car was brand new when I purchased it in 2017.
