56 Seat Belt problem of the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 05/28/2020

This started around may 2020. . . I was at about 2k miles in. I was told it was due to weather. And that they had other chevy with same issue- "so it's normal". I bought the 2020 chevy Traverse brand new right off lot. After we packed up and visited family I noticed it had sounds. The sounds were like whining noises just loud and seriously obnoxious. It only happened we were turning vehicle at first. So we get home and it started being louder. I then noticed as I was driving and after I slowed down to like 20 heading for a stop sign the car suddenly has this burst of energy and speeds up to like 33 causing me to hit breaks. I told my husband and he was like I don't know maybe it is expunging gas. After I slow down? isn't that dangerous. I ignored it but it continues ever so often and this is on regular streets -speed limit is 35. Then the whining noise from wheel had me terrified. So we went to dealer. That was comical. Dude was like "it's a characteristics of the car". I'm like what? why would they make a car with an annoying sound - its distracting. I don't want to die because of my wheel. I read online other people had problems so we went to another dealer and another. The guy at last dealer was like this is not normal. They created carfax report and switched part out. I could go on. So that loud noise never went away- at first it was low and now louder. I called chevy again and they are like a dealer has to access situation and call us. This is not safe. Also the other problems are seatbelt locks. The middle seat design is terrible. My daughter was sitting there when it went back in between seat and locked it wouldn't let up no matter what. Had to take seat apart to fix seat belt. My seat in front locks and its relentless. So uncomfortable and it chokes me because I'm short. Terrible design because it can't adjust like the gm version. I have video proof/receipts.

61 Seat Belt problem of the 2016 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 12/20/2019

I got into my car, specifically in the seat behind the passenger. I always sit here, because I have to care for my 8 month old daughter and my 4 year old son. While on the highway in the busy lanes of California, my seatbelt clips off the latch. At this point we're about 2 hours away from home, and there's heavy traffic. I try multiple times to put the seatbelt back into its place but it will not clip on. I cannot hop to the front seat or jump over to the back due to having our seats down for extra space for items that we had bought. Aside from this, we're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. Nothing differently was done this day. There was no pulling or playing around with the seatbelt, it just stopped working on its own. I was scared for my safety. Aside from my safety being at risk, I got have gotten in trouble with law enforcement for not wearing a seatbelt. I'm writing this to bring to your attention that seatbelt need to be checked and taken more seriously. I have never seen something like this happen. This is extremely scary and dangerous. The seatbelt on a car seat could have been the one to clip off, and a car seat could have flipped over causing injuries or a scared on a minor. This has to be taken in consideration and very serious. A seatbelt is very important and mandatory.

My car has a recall for the timing chain, I never knew about it, as I am not the first owner of the car, and I never received a notice, when my car engine light came on, I never knew what exactly what it was I ended up changing parts on my car based on a mechanic that didn't know better and didn't change what I need to be change and brought it to another mechanic who told me it was the timing chain, after seeing how much it would cost I didn't have the means at the time, this is about year into getting the car back in 2018, I believe 2020, I know ended up bring it back to another mechanic where they notified me that car had a recall on the timing chain kit, which chevy never informed be about when I went there looking to buy the parts for my car, also my dealer who I got the car form never inform me of this recall as well as another one I have on the car that I found out when I went recently to see my recalls at chevy dealer, they also informed me that the recall expired in 2019 and they can't fixed it, which I don't agree with, recalls shouldn't expire its a safety measure.

68 Seat Belt problem of the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 07/04/2019

"takata recall" while driving on i70 south in the fast lane my 2009 chevy Traverse started to loose power, lights started flickering, and then ultimately stopped as I was partially in the roadway. State patrol had to come out and move the vehicle and assure my safety of exiting on this very dark interstate. The vehicle would not even start up again. And this was three days following a tune-up w/6 new coil packs, oil change w/filter and flow vent. And all this cost almost 600. 00 bucks because coils are nearly 45. 00 per coil. And all this had to happen because of a constant misfire in all of my cylinders. So I had the truck towed 48 miles home and then 16 miles to the dealer just to be told that this truck has a timing chain recall that was never done. So I was told by the dealership to call che y corporate office. Lol. Chevrolet told me that the the recall expired and that I would have to pay for the timing chain myself. After 2 years of constant spending. Im done and have been advised to sue. The trooper called to follow up with me because I did almost die on the interstate because my vehicle went completely out and 18 wheelers were going extremely fast. And he provided me with a complete police report to go after chevy. My two kids now hate the vehicle. My daughter cried all through the 4th of July because of the trauma. And chevy should not be allowed to sell family vehicles without having a families safety in mind. This was my first chevy purchase and it will be my last. This is not a company I wish to support. Because it could careless about our lives and safety. I refuse to pay another 2k to repair an issue that had a recall that I didnt know about. #2ndownersclub.
