We have classified the 63 complaints from 2010 Chevrolet Traverse about POWER TRAIN into the following categories.
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.
P10017 and p0018- timing chains gone bad
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.
Been having a problem with the traction system stalibak need help getting it fixed it's a known problem for a lot of people.
I was parked the traction control light came on. when i started driving the car would only go 10 mph. when i looked up the problemb it sounds like a lot of traverse owners are having the same problem why have they not recalled. for this issue
Had the timing chain replaced once we only have 80000 miles on truck and light is on a again good maintenance and good quilty oil oil only in vehicle. engine light came codes say timing chine.
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 .
Door locks unlock/lock and then the car seems to go into neutral and the rpm goes to about 7,000. this has killed the engine twice. gm has assigned a case number 8-423-8930914. tcm, catalytic converter and neutral switch had been replaced and no change. happens at various speeds - 75, 55,40,8mph and stopped. this has happened at least 30 times in the 34 days that we have owned it. it has been into the dealership four times.
The ac is hissing and smoke is coming out of the vents i can't believe there has not been a recall as i see this is a common occurrence with these vehicles!
In 2014, i had the timing chain issues. gm covered all but $1,000 of the repair. now again, 4 years later, and 40,000 miles on the timing chain that was replaced, i'm having the exact same issue. dealer says timing chain needs to be replaced. i am over the 5 year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty, so they tell me it won't be covered and it will all by at my own expense. this is an engineering flaw, and we the consumers are expected to foot the bill. it's not fair, and needs to expand their timing chain warranty from to the extended warranty with the extended service 11340-c. or do a complete recall!!! how there hasn't been a class action lawsuit yet is beyond me....
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.
Check engine light displays then engine power reduced warning comes on, causing the vehicle to slow at any time (very dangerous when on the freeway). the throttle needle and car shakes and car will cut off and stall to turn on again.
At 90,000 miles, a p0008 code came up and the entire timing chain system needed to be replaced. the cost was $2870.00 because the entire motor had to be dropped. if the vehicle was a 2009, they would have repaired it under warranty but because it was a 2010, chevy would not do anything about it.
