On 10/23/18, about 1-2 miles after exiting highway, i was driving when my traction control on appeared on my dashboard with engine light on, my vehicle started to shake like it was about to die and i could not accelerate any more. i went from 40mph to 10-15mph. i was turning left at a light and had to pull in to a parking lot and vehicle started shaking so much. it was difficult to maneuver the turns. then the shaking just stopped. turned my vehicle off and back on, traction control and engine light disappeared like nothing had happened. i drove but would not accelerate past 20 mph. turned vehicle off for a while and everything was back to normal. on 10/30/18, vehicle was in motion again, traveling 40 mph, then traction control came back on with engine light, i slowed down to 20 mph again and was able to pull over before engine started to shake and or turn. turned off the engine again,powered back on and it drove like normal again. this has happened twice to me with my children in my vehicle. incident happened when pavement was dry, no debris on road , this is an safety issue, and i am grateful it did not occur on the highway while i was traveling 60 mph in morning traffic. contacted gm where after explaining my issue to sue and she even stated it was a safety issue. dealership stated that they could run diagnostics but if neither traction control on or engine light was on, may not read as to what the problem is and they could not get me in until 11/2/18.

The metal hose that carries the freon for the ac unit is behind another hose with a metal feature on it that rubbed a hole in the metal hose which caused the air conditioning to leak freon so unable to use air conditioning. the car was in motion when the air stopped working.

The center consule has a plastic piece that broke off and it keeps popping up as i am driving. it happpend two days ago while i was driving and interferred with my driving when i turned and it hit my arm and it almost caused me an accident. although i am careful, its still keeps popping up and interfeering with my driving. the dealership said if i came in 1 month ago, it would have still been covered on my 36,000 mile warranty, bumper to bumper. i believe this has to be a defect in the material for it to break in less than 2 years and i do not use the center consule much.

On jan. 8,2016 while driving, my check engine light came on followed by a knock in the motor. i pulled over and shut the car off. i took it to shottenkirk chevy in quincy, il where they diagnosed a coil was bad at 11,993 miles, but told me to continue driving the car. they replaced the coil 2 days later. that same night we got it back, we took it back and told them we weren't satisfied. they kept it 3 days and told me nothing was wrong on jan. 16 when we picked it back up. on jan. 20 the check engine light came on again followed by an even louder knock. we took it back jan 21 and received a loaner. they have replaced multiple things within the motor but it still hasn't fixed the problem. on feb. 25 we went to the dealership to try to trade for a new vehicle and they didn't want to give us what our car was worth. after talking with the gm on the phone we told him we would contact a lawyer. he replied "i'm calling the law and reporting the truck your driving stolen." we returned the truck that afternoon because we can't be accused of being a thief. we no longer have a vehicle to drive;however, i'm still paying a car payment and insurance. i believe we purchased a lemon and would like to be paid out of our loan for all the troubles we have had. i do have a video of what my vehicle sounds like.

During a snow storm where temps were between 22 amd 30 degrees. i was out for 30 min to 1 hour when the front window froze at the bottom. i had defrost on the entire time and nothing i could do would unfreeze the window. this caused the wipers to not function appropriately. the wipers left water streaks because they were sitting on ice. prior to coming out my car was completly dry because it was in a garage. no pre ice conditions. the streaks when i was concerned were in my viewing area and i couldnt see.

I was at a red light, foot on the brake when the vehicle accelerated jumping from 1000rpm to 3000rpm, multiple times in a row. causing my car to lunge forward over and over again. i contacted the dealership immediately & was asked to drive my car in. i was headed to a destination first. when i arrived at my destination, i turned the car off for approximately 5 minutes. when i turned my car back on, there was a loud bang noise, car smelled like something was on fire & the acceleration did not return. what did happen was i now had no air conditioning. dealership stated it was the ac compressor that went out and caused all the issues.

Navigation system - turn by turn. provide dangerouisly direction. instruct you to make turn where there is no street to turn onto, i.e., instructs you to make turns off a overpass from a bridge and fall down onto the interstate below. this a safety, dangerous, hazards, life threatening component in the 2016 chevrolet traverse, especially at night. i have taken the vehicle back to the dealer, no help! called gm customer service in detroit=no help. this nav system is a deadly safety hazard. that provide deadly information to the driver. this need to be corrected asap - by issuing a recall for 2016 chevy nav system. gm has been slow to fix reported safety issues which has resulted in death/fatality.
