general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse

As I am driving down the road the service stable trak light and abs lights pop on and the brakes sieze up so bad you cant get the car to stop and brake pedal to unlock as well as when you try to turn the steering wheel locks.

It became very hard to steer as we slowed down to turn into a parking space. It felt like manual steering and not power. The dealership said we need a steering rack and steering pump. Is there a recall on this vehicle?.

I was driving on the highway and the vehicle shut off while I was driving at 70 mph. Lost power steering and brakes out of no where which is when I noticed the rpms was at 0. After we, by the grace of god, made it to the side of the road safely, we had it towed to a garage where the said the timing chain came off and ruined the engine and that it is a common problem and could be fixed for around $5600. The vehicle has 65k miles and blew up? its a common problem for a vehicle to shut off on the highway and I wasn't warned that this vehicle has this kind of history and gm don't recognize this is a problem!.

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. .

I got my car 6 months ago, so far the brakes went out, rotors went out, all struts had to be reolaced, heater broke, air conditioner leakes, and now timing chains need to be replaved. I found an inspection completed 2 weeks before I bought my car done at another dealership. The list of issues is scary.

My vehicle has tie rod loose, leaky motor rack, rear valve cover leak, brakes and rotors loose, control arm loose, all wheels corroded, front strut leaks.

I started my SUV and put it in reverse to back out of my driveway. Upon trying to turn, noticed my steering wheel was completely locked up. Tried braking so I wouldn't roll into the street with my children. Brakes were extremely resistant and hard to press down. I then put it into drive to try to get out of the street and my gas pedal was not working. I was unable to move forward, unable to steer, and barely able to brake. Turned off the vehicle. Tried again 2 minutes later, same problem persisted. Turned off vehicle and exited while car was in the middle of my neighborhood street. 15 minutes later the issues seemed to no longer be a problem and I was able to move my vehicle back to the driveway.

I purchased this 2011 Traverse used in 2013 with approximately 28,000 miles on it in aurora, CO. It now has about 118,000 miles. I have had warning lights on the abs and stability control systems come on, along with error messages indicating stability control and awd are deactivated for about a week that do not reset upon restarting the car. Today, I experienced numerous losses of engine power, as though the car had dropped into neutral, while driving surface streets at approximately 30-35mph. Despite pressing the accelerator, the vehicle immediately dropped down to 10-15mph for several seconds. Research online in the Chevrolet forums indicates a throttle body issue, but shows no corporate investigation or recall into this, though many people report similar losses of power on highways at 60+mph, suddenly dropping to 10mph. I am concerned about safety in traffic if such a loss of power occurs again.

Driving the Traverse started to smell wires burning in the cabin dashlights started going crazy and dinging . Was about a mile to where I could pull over safely . . Started to pull off the breaks and steering seemed to stop working and the vehicle died. . I nearly hit bridge pillar not being able to steer or stop. . The car was full with myself 4 children and a newborn. . I am told the motor is ruined and no one can pinpoint the other problems. . The repair costs are around 6000$ which have not been done because honestly I'm scared for my life to fix this vehicle and drive it. .

I only made one payment on my car and I don't feel it's safe to drive or put my kids in. The steering and tires or something just sway pull noise and I feel I don't have any control.

Codes are as followed: p0008, p0496, p0221 , p0017, c0242, c00561.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse. While driving 25 mph and approaching a red light, the brake pedal traveled to the floor and failed to stop the vehicle. As a result, the contact's vehicle rear ended another vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed, but the technician could not find a failure. In addition, the contact stated that when the vehicle was parked on incline, it would roll backwards when the gear shifter was placed in drive. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 90,622.

Two things #1-travling on interstate 95. Right rear tire blow. The inside of the tire rip all around. I have a picture of the tire in two pieces. If you are interested in seeing the picture email me and I will send it to you. #2-also ever since I bought the vehicle in September 2010 the breaks squeaks. Its been looked at multiple time by two dealers. To this day the breaks still squeak. Very annoying. The warranty is out now but the problem still exist. Look at the history of the break issue.

At 12000 miles the dealer said I needed new rear brakes. I asked if under warranty and was told no charged $700 to fix. Now at 24000 said front brakes bad and will cost $550 must be something defective.

I was driving 65 mph when the accelerator pedal stuck and accelerated to 85 mph. The brakes were disabled for approx 5-7 seconds. After 5-7 seconds passed, the brake system began to work again and I was able to slow down and eventually stop the car.

Shortly after purchasing brand new car we noticed small rust-colored specks all over the vehicle, mostly on the rear of the car. After several inspections, muzi Ford in needham, MA diagnosed this as "brake dust" from the type of brakes on this vehicle. They said there was nothing that could be done to prevent te specks, but that the only fix was expensive buffing/wet sanding treatments by their body shop that would have to be done 1-2 times per year, and they also said we should wash our car weekly. Our vehicle is still under warranty. Each buff costs approx $400. We believe this is a design flaw that the manufacturer should cover.

Purchased 2011 Traverse on Monday, by Tuesday evening the traction control and the stabilitrak service soon codes were showing. The present mileage is 440 and this started around 350 miles on odometer. Also, while backing out of driveway on incline put car in drive and let off brake began pressing gas, the car continued to roll backwards until I pressed the brake and got on the gas at the same time.
