Recently reported STEERING problems on 2010 Chevrolet Traverse

After some major maintenance work summer of 2018, car began to show more work needed. summer of 2019 while driving on flat city road, power steering became difficult to turn & control curves and, check engine light came on. parked the car until able to repair. mechanic repaired power steering module car seemed ok. after about 2-3 weeks, check engine light & power steering problems again , now engine power reduced while driving w/stabilitrak warning & back up cam sometimes works. whle driving , hard to turn on curves, corners and at appropriate posted speeds bc engine slows on its own and wont give enough power for flats or hills. heating takes much longer to warm cabin and window button sometimes wont work.

Stabilitrak continues to pop up affecting sed etc i have already spent over $2000 replacing parts and it continues

Tried to call nhtsa number for assistance. it is disconnected. need to update complaint number 11205680. date occurred is inaccurate and want it to be accurate if questioned by representative. accidentally put april 19th as timing chain problem date. it was actually april 25th. please update.

Power steering stop working while driving vehicle. after it started happening i read online that alot of customers been having same iasue.

2010 chevrolet traverse 130k miles(told it is in kil.) 2nd owner. all oil changes and services done. 2 major issues. suv made loud noise and lost all control of steering and other functions and car shut down while on a freeway, going high speeds, while traveling with 3 children. almost hit from behind by 2 cars. was told by gm service center that the timing chain fell off/mechanical failure due to skipping. other components damaged and all needs to be replaced. does not seem right for the timing chain to fall off. seems to be a mechanical defect, not normal wear and tear. called gm cs several times to explain recent issues and worry of safety and reliability due to multiple repeated timing chain failures on same vehicals with same owners on 2010 and newer traverse. told by cs no warranty no recall so can't help. service manager requested assistance from gm for repairs and it was denied. i called gm again, was told they would communicate with service center and call me back later this week. prior the power steering failed twice within months. repaired power steering twice as well as power steering rack. first failure we almost crashed ...

Just bought 2010 traverse w/204xxx miles. power steering pump started leaking at 205xxx. vehicle was operating fine. no leaks, no noises or vibrations or anything. drive 15 miles from home 1 day and after exiting highway, i noticed stiff steering and whining/groaning when turning steering wheel. problem came on so quickly. vehicle didn't want to turn and almost went into the ditch while i was attempting to make a turn. i quickly pulled over and checked under hood and under vehicle and noticed i was suddenly leaking steering fluid very quickly from pump. took to local mechanic and was told i have a bad steering pump. they recommended i report this issue as they noticed that this pump had been replaced before and there have been many issues relating to my model year and similar models regarding faulty steering systems. upon my research, i have seen numerous blogs and posts from other owners verifying this issue. mileage on other models was 8xxx and up. with kids in my vehicle all the time, this makes me very nervous about current safety regulations and recalls. this is a major safety issue and i seem to be among numerous owners having ...

I have antifreeze in the engine it has been leaking fluid. i took it to a shop and they told me the antifreeze is in the engine and i needed a new engine. i also put a power steering pump in because the car was having issues turning two years into me having the suv. i bought the suv in 2015. it has been ine issue after another.

Drivers side 2nd row seat belt does not always stay latched. at 100,000 mi power steering pump went, month later lost control of steering, which turned out to be the rack. 15 months later the seals in the rack have blown out again. this is an expensive safety issue! the dealer did not see an issue as he listed 3 other makes that have the same problem. at $1400 per repair this should be a recall to keep my family safe! also informed one front strut has no oil and the other is leaking. my chevrolet traverse is a money pit. it is an automatic transmission that on an incline will continue to coast backwards until you either break or give it gas, this is from date of purchase.

Vehicle was on the highway when i got off the exit the car started making a weird noise . i tried making a right and the car jerked and almost flipped over it's the third time it does this . this is a huge safety concern. i tried fixing the issue all three times and it keeps happening .

Steering and suspension tightens so that it is unable to maintain vehicle. caused a near crash of vehicle

Loss of power steering happens on two occasions. 1. when at a stop and attempting to make a turn. 2. when driving at a low speed and attempting to make a turn.

2010 chevy traverse lost power steering while being driven by son. initial failure occurred at street speeds. the car could be steered without power but it was difficult at low speeds. dealer was informed of sounds when the vehicle had less than 100,000 miles but nothing was done. the car currently has 133,000 miles (2-3 years after sounds reported to dealer).

Steering becomes difficult from time to time. more often when reversing or parallel parking

I took my car to the dearler in waldorf maryland when i went to pick up my car i noticed the front end was down, i drove like i was on a tractor. it was not this way when i dropped it off. i have 3 different people that can vouch for this. the dealer ship nor gm will give me an answer. the asst ser mgt said if the mechanic failed to say something he apologized . when on the phone with gm the dealer ship would not talk to me on the phone for an explaintion but said we did nothing to your car but would not ralk on the phone only proving to be hiding something of the truth.

There have been so many things wrong with car since we bought brand new in 2010 from the complete fuel system replaced to 3 entire brakes replaced, to transmission slipping, to tracktion stilbility control lights failing, to power steering pump , to faulty control box issues, replacement of window shield wiper motor, air conditioning/heating module. most of this under warranity or not covered still at all in first 4 years of owning this car. its literally a pile of junk. so many safety issues that gm wont list as a recall. people have been killed but still fail do anything. the dealer ship here in waldorf md, to conceal what they did lately to my car in damaging the front shocks and struts wouldnt even get on the phone with a conference call with me instead refused to talk to me and also ban me from the dealership which leads to more suspicion that they are hiding the truth that they did something to damage my car. this is the only dealer in town too. this isn't the first complaint. dont buy this car. nothing but problems, a lemon.
