The 2015 chevy Traverse had a hard shifting transmission from the first day we purchased it. The chevy dealer said that it was a shifting software problem. That did not fix it.

The biggest problem is that mechanics don't know how to fix this problem. Traction control needs servicing with causes you to lose acceleration on the freeway. Then sometimes stabilitrac also goes off. Now the vehicle engine keeps running when turned off. The air conditioning sometimes randomly won't work at all, and last the tire servicing system now won't sync.

16 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2018

While driving, the interior lights shut off and my vehicle suddenly loses power. No matter how hard I press on the gas, the vehicle does not respond. Certain service signs also appear and they are �service stabilitrak,� service traction control,� �traction control off,� and �park assist off. � this is dangerous as I was driving through a fairly busy street when this happened and had to physically notify the driver coming towards me to stop. Otherwise, I would have gotten t-boned! this happened twice. The first time it happened, the diagnostic code appeared, they cleared it and test drove it and it was fine. However, a month later, it did it again. Huge liability here! during both incidents, I was driving the vehicle, going straight ahead.

21 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2016

Driving my 2015 Chevrolet Traverse on an expressway at 65 to 70 mph when suddenly the vehicle started to slow down even when pressing on the accelerator. The speed continued decreasing when we noticed that the radio had also shut down. Fortunately we were able to make our way to the breakdown lane without any mishap. That's when we notice the engine was also completely shut down. We were fortunate that we were able to pull over without causing an accident. We called the dealership and explained the problem and was puzzled that they were not too concerned about the problem. My wife is not concerned about the safety of this vehicle. I have noticed that complaints have been reporting a similar problem. My vehicle is currently at the dealership and they provided me with a loaner in the meantime. I was told that most likely they will not be able to find any problem with the vehicle. This is not much consolation, to us when we will be returning to florida in the near future and wonder whether this problem will occur again when we are on expressways with five to six lanes, all going 70 mph or more and with little room to get out of the way to safety. Looking at other similar issues, what is mentioned as the problem could be the switch, the battery or the alternator, or wiring to all these components. I cannot believe that this issue cannot be diagnosed and remedied immediately before someone gets hurt.

22 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2015

23 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/04/2015

I was driving my 2015 Chevrolet Traverse at 30 mph at 11 pm. My stabilitrak light came on as well as engine light. I lost power and stopped in an unlit, busy intersection. I thought I was going to die. Fortunately no cars hit me. I rolled into a small ditch and stopped. If I stepped on the gas, nothing really happened. I shut car off and looked in owners manual where it said to start car up again. I did and then it worked. I drove to car dealer next day and they knew exactly what was going on as I got out of my car they said they would give me a loaner, which I am currently driving. Mthe said it was a transmission sensor or switch that they had to replace. Obviously, gmmknows about this. This could hve been a fatal accident, easily. This is a crime in that my dealer sold me this car without disclosing a known problem to me. These cars are not safe and I will try to trade it in ASAP for something less hazardous. Again, this is a criminal act that gm is doing by continuing to sell these cars. If no one has died yet, they will soon. Very dangerous problem.
