Sitting in the parking lot waiting for my daughter to get out of school all of a sudden it smells hot then start to drive off and traction control lights and abs go wild then i pull over turn off the engine open the hood and there's smoke letting it cool the key won't reverse out of the ignition and there's no power at all
The speakers will quit working when it is either wet or cold outside. aside from the stereo not working this is a safety issue as all warnings do not sound as they come through the speakers. warnings include backup sensor seat belt and much more.
My mechanic said my timing chain is loose & there should be a recall. also my radio goes real low in a high pitch tone & i can't hear it so that means my turn singnals are low & everything else that makes a sound is very low. also my window controls are all starting to not work one by one. i only have 89000 miles on my car. my mechanic is telling me i should get rid of my car but i always thought chevy was a good car.
The vehicles control panel displays multiple errors such as engine power is reduced, park assist off, traction control off, brake (in red), abs and all the gages go up and down, automatic locks-lock and unlock all while driving on city street and highways. attempting to pull the car over, the transmission wont go into park. multiple times it won't start and sometimes the vehicle fails to gain speed while driving.
Takata recall, i was driving my car down an interstate and the coolant had leaked out and overheated my car i have done had each hose and housing and the thermostat and the reservoir take replaced in it about 2 months ago. it's is now doing the same thing again it started again while i was on a highway.
2nd owner. at 91k miles whole electrical system blew out. cost $600 to fix. at $111k miles engine light came on. went to dealership and timing chain needed to be replaced. parked the vehicle as dealership said it keeps happening for 2011 traverse and they are waiting for recall. 6 months later decided to take car back to dealership to get fixed quoted $3800. on way to dealership (20 minutes away) going 40 miles an hour car started making machine guns noises and slowing down. pulled into a neighborhood and parked car. called a tow company and had them tow it back to the house. luckily, our neighbor works at a mechanic shop and came over. he turned the car on and it shut right off. after his examination he said my engine had seized and would need to replace it. already having to reset the electrical system now i need to replace a timing chain and replace an engine?? seems after reading all of the complaints the 2011 traverse has major issues and this needs to be addressed!

This is toward chevrolet and any other vehicle makers that require excessive use of dealerships for minor maintenance. i have commuted 40 miles daily for 18 years, i have previously owned ford vehicles and had no issues with doing minor repairs myself. with my chevy vehicle i have to take it into the dealership or repair shop to change a simple headlight because of the greedy design of the vehicle. they did this on purpose so they could make more money at the dealership after sales. in the past when i drove fords if my headlight went home i would stop a couple blocks from my work and pop one in. i stopped on exit ramps and added a new one many timed, keeping a extra in my glove box like a prepared driver. with my traverse i have go in and have the tire taken off and the wheel wheel plastic off to change the headlight. this is completely unsafe and ridiculous. i've complained to chevy without a response. this needs to change to save lives. it is very dangerous for long commuters. imagine being on vacation and having to spend a day of it at a dealership getting ...
While driving my 2011 chevy traverse lt on highway with 130,000 miles on it when my traverse lost acceleration and stalled out with cars flying up on me at 65-70 mph,i finally costed over to the emergency lane, had it towed to dealership and techs couldn't figure this out , after a week of service techs couldn't find the problem, i was finally notified by dealership that there's something wrong with motor and electrical and it's not worth fixing. i would like to know what i can do with this .

Stability traction control system problems. i have a 2011 chevy traverse. problems erupted after i finished paying it off. i had this car for 7 years now and 100k miles now. for the past year the traction control system has failed multiple times. at first i took it to the dealer and spent over $3500 to fix it. a few months after the problem came back. the dealer was asking for almost $4000 stating that it was something else not fixed before. even a mechanic from the dealership told me to get rid of it because lots of people were complaining with same issues. at first the "traction control system off" comes on the screen every time i drive for a long period of time. followed by "service stability traction control system". now as soon as i turn the car on the same messages appear. just a week ago i was in the highway and "power loss warning" came out in the screen. i couldn't accelerate, thank god i was near an exit and was able to get out in time before it stopped completely. turned off the car and waited a few mnts. turned on again and drove ...
