This vehicle is notorious for multiple electrical failures. The alternator fried the battery fried, both of which were replaced. This vehicle still wouldn't start. The wiring harness to the pcm is notorious for having shorts. The pcm itself is notorious for going out really early. This vehicle is almost undrivable and it dies while you're in the middle of driving where you can't stop. I do not know how this vehicle has been kept on the market without being recalled. I do not know how more people haven't been in accidents because of it. And even worse, it's notorious for the airbags messing up. I think I would be more understanding if it weren't for the fact that this vehicle has been well maintained. It has regular maintenance. It's never overdue for an oil change or a fluid top up. I have children that ride in this vehicle and now I have to worry about their safety.
Side curtain airbags deployed driving 70 mph on i94 outside of monticello, mn after drifting onto the rumble strip. Upon turning back there was a loud bang from the side airbags deploying. The drivers side came down and hit my daughter in the side of the head, the passenger side didn't come down all the way missing my 86 year old mom as she is 5 ft tall. My daugther by some miracle didn't panic and veer into other traffic lanes with other vehicles driving 70 mph. Gm is denying a problem and insinuating that something other than defect caused the airbags to deploy, even though there is nothing but rumble strips on the section of road. They are blaming some minor scraps on the side of the vehicle that were existing on a 2011 Traverse.

**timing belt recall** I was driving my vehicle on the local parkway and it lost power while I was driving it then started riding rough as if the tires were wobbling then I went to make a left turn and it started making a reeving noise during the turn. I had the car towed to the auto shop and I was told there was no oil leaks but the oil was low and also I had to replace the timing chain on my vehicle.

2011 Traverse having a sudden loss of power and loss of acceleration followed by error messages for both the traction control and stabilitrak systems and more lights like brakes and air bag and ect. .
Air bags do not come out in highway impact of 70 miles per hour.
My problem is that I was never notified about these recalls on my family vehicle and almost ever day have three kids in the car that are in harms way. And still paying for this piece of junk!.
The airbag service light comes on in the vehicle. We took it to the dealer and it is out of warranty as the vehicle has 70,700 miles on it. They said that the vehicle needs a passenger presence module at the cost of $1200. 00. I believe that chevy knew of this problem and through research other vehicles have been affected. I would like chevy to fix this problem on their dime as this is a major safety issue. The dealership isn't even sure if any of the airbags will deploy in a crash.
My car is overheating, have already changed the thermostat and flushed the radiator, the car still getting overheated.

This is regarding the handling of the safety recalls that chevy has issued. We were advised to bring our vehicle in for no charge replacement on parts. After bringing the SUV in and waiting over an hour I was advised the parts had to be ordered and would receive a call as soon as they were in. 5 weeks later, still no call. I called and was advised the parts were in. There was no explanation as to why we didn't receive a call as soon as the parts were in, as this is a safety issue and we have a 1 year old who rides in this vehicle. Brought the SUV in to be repaired, was advised 3 hours. After 9hours with no call, we called. We were told that the parts that came in were defective and they needed to order new parts. It should be known and investigated as to what service chevy is doing on recalls that are a safety issue, the new parts are defective also! I called chevy and filed a complaint regarding this dealership and service.
