I have owned this vehicle a little over 38 months. The problem began on 6-13-2018 while I was stopped at the end of my driveway. When I shifted out of park there were clicking noises in the dash. This had never happened before. I took it to the dealer who stated it was a solenoid that needed replacing in the dash. It was replaced, but did not solve the problem. There are two of these solenoids so they ordered the other one and that wasn't the problem. I was told that the "housing" for one of these solenoids needed replacing. They had two other 2015 Traverses and both of them had the same problem. I was told that the mechanics had never had this type of problem before. I think that the owners of the other two vehicles never paid attention to this noise and/or thought it was normal. My point is that this should be researched to see if these solenoids/housings are faulty. If one fails then you can't get out of park to shift. If they are faulty, then why should I have to pay to have it fixed. Thank you for your attention.

I have had many ongoing issues since car purchase. Electrical , air conditioning and injector issues. Car does not seem safe. Lights go out every few months whilde driving when it is dark. This is very dangerous. 1st replacement on light was done while under warrant, however, chevy dealer failed to address the issues causing the light to burn out and simply changed light out. It has been continuous with us changing lights, brake lights and headlights. Car would lose power and jerk as well as had gears problems while traveling on a fwy with cars going an average og 60 mph. Car would not auto shift above 20-30 mph. Gas smell upon start of vehicle and the list goes on. Stuck open evap purge solenoid setting ses light cac case 8-2106770252 dalila lopez--- scanned ecm found code p0300 p0496. Performed diagnosis. Performed injector balance test found bank 1 injector out of specs. Replaced 1 3 5 injectors. It seems that there is a possibility that the injector issues may have caused other problem with the vehicle which cannot be denied nor confirmed. An oil pan gasket has been leaking as well when less than 90,000 miles. Safety has been an ongoing concern. I am requesting that the electrical issues that have not been resolved since the 1st light went out in 2014 to be resolved at gms cost. In addition I am asking that the oil pan gasket replacement be done at gm cost . In addition, I am requesting reimbursement of my down payment of $10,000 on my vehicle.
