3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2017

Stabilitrak/traction control problems I am the owner of this vehicle that has 165,000+ miles on it. We have repaired/replaced about $6900: in 2017 evap purge valve, in 2017 upper coolant hose, 2016 water pump gasket, timing chain, 2014 catalytic converter and gaskets, 2014 water pump and front motor mount, in 2009 reverse clutch plate. Now the stability trac and traction lights both came on stating to service the brake system when you are in motion and come to a stop. Plus today, the ac does not come now. One vehicle with one owner should not have this many problems. Chevy has got to issue a recall on this 2009 model. Class action lawsuit, something needs to be done.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2017

When you stop up a upgrade to the light, the car rolls back. I would have to give it gas then release the brakes. I never had this to happen in any other car we had. It kind of scare me, because I almost roll back in another car. The other situation is the parking brake doesn't release like it suppose to. I saw a recall on some Traverse, but my vehicle doesn't have one. I need this to work properly , because these suvs' then be hard to put in gear on slight inclines.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2014

While backing out of a parking spot, the steering column completely locked up and would not allow me to turn the wheel. I then attempted to pull forward at which time the brakes locked in place. Although there were no injuries, I can't help to wonder what couldve happened and what my response would have been should this had happened in traffic on the freeway. I had my daugher in the car and I am still nervous about driving this vehicle.
