$1600 for a battery and alternator. Holy crap. Yeah ok!! Someone be smoking something good over there at the GM Dealership! But man I feel you on these SUV's, Chevy had a great idea but these vehicles are nothing but problems. Great video and overview of everything you experienced!
Thank you so much for watching. I just had to get it off my chest and let the world know what happened. Now I’m struggling on which direction to take the channel. Lol.
I had a GMC Acadia SLT AWD 2012, nothing but a money pit. Like put me fr in the poor house!!! lmao. And yeah hahaha i hear ya man! i have that same problem with mine @@DTaylorTH-camChannel
I have 241k on my 2012 FWD traverse and the only things besides normal maintenance I’ve had to replace was the alternator, motor mounts, water pump, power steering pump, and finally have to change the radiator as of recently….. everything started at 170k but not all at once I have no complaints
I don’t take my Chevy Traverse, (2021), back to the Chevy dealership unless it is covered by their warranty. I find my own trusted shops and that’s who I use. I do not trust the dealership. I feel your pain.
I had mine also for over 5 years. 2012 Chevy Traverse LT and just a few window bad window switches and a bad alternator. LOVE that manual Honda Accord. God Bless.
I’m with you on this. It’s seems no Chevy dealership wants to fix anything. Really think they have idiots working for them. Can’t get anyone that knows what wrong with my traverse which is shuddering on acceleration. I’ve seen lots of people online with the same issue and it should be a recall. But those idiots just keep charging for stuff that isn’t even the real issue. Thanks for the video!
It needs a torque converter replacement. My 2012 Enclave had the dreaded shudder. Replaced the torque converter and problem solved. But it’ll run $2000-3000 depending on the shop.
I have a 2013 and have replaced the alternator twice and multiple batteries. I now know its the traverse itself causing the issue. All the diagnostic machines can’t pick it up. Thanks for this video now by backyard uncle can have somewhere to start.
It’s not the vehicle bro. It’s the dumb dealership that gives it a bad reputation. But I get where you coming from. I hate you had to go through that kind of regum and row!
Wow I feel bad that it happened I just bought a one because I had with my of 2019 Tuscan I pray 🙏 my chevy treat me good and thanks for the information 🙏
Like and followed now! I have the same exact vehicle I’ve even personally replaced the motor once and wasted money at the dealership that never solved anything I had to figure it out.now I have to replace the torque converter bc the tach and speedometer jump while on the highway
I feel you. I have a 2015 Traverse that has a wrist numbing steering wheel shake at 40-65 MPH. Chevy dealership has looked at it 3 times. They can't find the fix and typed on the work order, "no solution found" and told me to take the car. I contacted GM, I have had 3 different GM Customer Solution people say they are handling the issue. Been 4 months since the dealership first had the car there for this issue. Ford is looking real good right now!
I want to buy American so bad... But the quality is low. I also own a 2006 Honda Accord 335,000 miles no real issues. It just drives and drives and drives
I don't own a Chevy Traverse but I DID have your exact same problem on my GM vehicle when I first purchased it used...I replaced the whole front end myself all the way down to the wheel bearings and STILL had a terrible "shimmy" in my steering wheel @ pretty much anything above 40mph...I had one local tire shop tell me that one of my wheels had excessive runout in it & he could barely spin balance it. All of the wheels had curb rash on them so I decided to buy all new wheels & tires online and had that same tire shop install them...STILL had the shimmy @ 35+mph...it wasn't until I learned about road force balancing that I FINALLY got to the root cause of this issue...I took my wheels/tire combo down to DISCOUNT TIRE CO. who performed a road-force balance to all 4 of my wheels and VOILA' It was literally that simple the shimmy was gone gone gone 100% and has not returned! Just a suggestion if you're still having this problem; you've probably only been getting a basic spin balance from your local Joe's tire shop & what you actually need is a more thorough & complete balance on all 4!!(assuming that everything else on the suspension still checks out & your steering rack isn't worn & your wheel bearings don't have any excessive runout) Hey it worked for me & I DO recommend Discount Tire b/c they told me that RFB is the only type of balancing they even perform these days!
The Buick Enclave is basically the same vehicle. What a beautiful great running vehicle with all the extras. We made many family trips and had it for 13 years....but starting at 45,000 miles we started having issues that included the following, some in warranty, some outside the warranty: power steering pump, rack&pinion, ac condenser, radiator, alternator, compressor, water pump 2x, struts 2x, ignition coil packs 3x, transmission failure, outer cv axels 2x, motor mounts 2x, starter, battery 3x, a lot of the repairs I did myself with the help of a shop manual,, forums, and youtube. The last straw at 228,000 miles the computer module shorted, shut the car down while driving on a major roadway. Replaced the computer, finally had enough and traded for another brand vehicle.... If you purchase one, trade in at about 30,000 miles...
Timing chain on mine at 100,000 miles. Back hatch is not working the windows have issues. Its never ending. We need to know of this mechanic guy whom you speak of. Smart man
I feel you………. Some people are so blind & stubborn to buy “American” that they give ford, Chevrolet & Chrysler a pass for their cheap designs & builds…… not even realizing that some of those brands are built in Mexico. If people will pay thousands for crap cars, they’ll continue to sell them. Best reliable cars are foreign brands Toyota, Honda, etc., use better quality parts & built in USA too. Glad your bringing awareness to this issue with your story😁.
People are so blind to everything it seems nowadays But I’ll stick to automobiles 😩 you’re absolutely right. American vehicles used to be good and worth it. Too many bailout programs for the automotive industry from different presidents since the “80s”…. They aren’t held accountable for the garbage they sell. Now it’s trickled down to the dealerships. The service is ridiculous and not even cordial. It’s so crazy.
@@marlpaakki4464 those look pretty dope😎 totally redesigned...my neighbor just bought one & I had to take a closer look b/c it didn't even look like any other Traverse that I had ever seen
My 2010 LT AWD just hit 250k...I have replaced the power steering pump. Nothing else yet. Lucky for me I have great mechanics in the fam. So I know better when and what to do.
Liked this video for one reason cause you made me feel like I was talking with my neighbor I also have this vehicle and at the moment it's broken and I'm trying to fix it thanks for making the video
That’s actually pretty good news. I’m pretty sure there are some good Traverses out there. Honesty it is a gorgeous vehicle. I love the way it looks, I love the interior, I love the features on the inside and I love the wheels. I think if I didn’t have the issue with the dealership, I probably would not have made this video. Because I understand all cars have issues, American cars just have more issues in some cases I guess. I wish you continued success with your vehicle. That is a great success story and it also shows that there is a positive to this vehicle. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching!
@@nestor.valentino 60 thousand miles absolutely no issues. I love it the best vehicle I've ever owned. My father in law said it rides better than his Cadillac. 2015.
I had a similar issue with my 2009 Traverse. I would be stopped at a light and the engine would just shut off. Eventually I found out the fuse plugs were loose. So I had to take the original screws out and replace them with a long bolt and a nut. And I haven't had that issue since.
Wow, I was looking at Chevy until I seen all of these issues. I’ve had Toyota, Chrysler & now Ram. I’m not a fan of Chrysler anymore but never has issues with Toyota or Ram mechanics or dealerships. I’m glad you put that dealership on blast.
My girlfriend and bought a 2014 Chev Eqanox well, whatever. Anyways, engine locked up. We took it to Sands chev. Dealer. In Glendale,AZ. We bought a new engine $4,500. It took a week. No problem. Pick it up drove it home. Got home, I pop the hood n check the engine. I check the oil level. The dip stick was dry as a bone. I called the service guy and told him. No oil in the car!!! Unreal huh. He said the mechanic forgot to ck it.. free oil changes for two years, After, that she sold the car. And yet! she got a 2020 chevy Traverse. I have the car oil change 4 times year. And every time they do oil changes i have to ck the dip stick, yes! Every time before i leave the dealership i ck the oil level and the dip stick barely shows oil on the end of the dip stick. So anyone has car oil change from anyone before you leave ck it.
I had the same year traverse. Biggest POS I've ever owned in my life. Same issues with the dealer not being able to diagnose anything and rude and overcharging! This has made me a lifelong boycotter of chevy. Never again. And I do want to buy American...instead I have 2 kia's 3toyotas and an Acura. I'd rather have a reliable car then save American jobs and have my wife broke down on a busy highway. Sorry America
Well said my friend. I tried to buy American also but it feels like it’s a money pit. And as they work on these cars, they act like they are unaware of the differences. It’s so crazy. This car looks fabulous. But it drives awful. My 2006 Honda has over 350,000 miles on it and I trust it And it’s the car of choice when we are making quick long trips.
Hint: Do not buy, any Chevy Traverse, from 2010 to 2016 they came with too many problems. Do not buy the 2010 Chevy Traverse! The Engine is bad, The Transmission is Bad, The A/C has problems, the driver side window control switch comes with Problems, The Power Steering pump has Issues too. Just so you know. If you want dependable cars or trucks... Buy Toyota or Honda Vehicles.
I’ve been having troubles with mine slipping gears and the chevy place I took it said nothing was wrong and then got smart with me saying “all cars have some issues ma’am”!
Honestly that's ridiculous. Chevy dealerships ought to be ashamed of themselves. They made the car they should be able to fix the car. They probably didn't even take the time to diagnose it. When I brought mine in... they didn't want to fix it they wanted to sell me a new one. They offered me $7,000 for a broken Traverse, while refusing to fix it ridiculous... SAD!
@@DTaylorTH-camChannel late 90’s / early 2000’’s was the pinnacle of build quality without too much crazy technology in Japanese and Domestic cars and trucks
We went through something similar in Michigan we took are traverse to the dealership to get a full inspection and they told us it would take a week and it would cost us $200. We ended up taking the car to are mechanic and then he did the inspection for free and then helped me buy the parts and I then I changed my spark plugs and boots my self
I have a 2013 Traverse, bought new. They had low coolant from the factory. I had to put over a gallon of coolant in a few years into my ownership, but had overheating issues months after I bought it. Other than that, 95K miles now and no issues except getting TCC issues with the transmission where when switching from gear 2 to gear 1 at intersections, it'll kill the engine, like an inexperienced manual transmission driver not knowing how to work gear 1 and the clutch. I have to drive in L and manually switch the gears to prevent engine shutoff. Going to cost $1.6K or more to repair... Apparently it's a known issue as I found one of the GM bulletin board notices saying so. The TEHCM has to be replaced. Miss my Honda Accords.
My advice is don't be patriotic and stop buying American brands they make junk and are inferior to Japanese brands. You want quality and reliability stick with manufacturers from the land of the rising sun, like Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Subaru, and even some Mitsubishi models are better made than our own domestic manufacturers. I learn also the hard way not to buy from the domestic brands the Traverse is just a natural POS when compared to a Toyota Highlander or a Honda Pilot!
Thanks for the Truth!!!!! Can’t wait to get rid of my silverado lease!! Wish they made them like my 02 sierra that I had for 14 years with no major problems! Definitely not like our trouble free 05 accord that we still have!!!!!!
Always complain to the GM about any service department and that dealership should of had confirmed fixes by Identifix software but they are probably too cheap to purchase it.
It's shameful man. That's why a lot of them are going bust and rightfully so. A lot of people in the last few years (especially since C19) have started DIY'ing everything.
Same issues here, nothing but problems since I got my 17 traverse, but I got it in 2019. 30k miles, immediately started with electronic, transmission, bluetooth, touch display, engine problems, on and on. getting rid of it now at 82k
I had two steering pumps put on within 6 months on 2009 the first and worst generation of the Chevy traverse. My mechanic told me that these cars have that issue the rack and pinion the check engine light, the Catalytic converters had to have all mines replace
Wish I would’ve saw your video a year ago because I had a 2013 Malibu that had the exact same issues. it would randomly turn off on me, took it to the dealerships. They said they couldn’t do nothing for me got in contact with corporate. They couldn’t do anything for me until one day I was driving on the highway and the car just shut off on me and after that, I was like I’m done. Now I wonder if the issue you were having with the same issue I was having.
My traction control kept showing up and cutting off it was the fuse box. After the dealership kept it for three weeks they gave a discount because it took them so long to find the problem. The codes didn’t seem to match the problem. It hasn’t stopped on me since.
I like your channel. I have a love and hate relationship with my traverse. It's a nice family car with 8 seats, but mine have so many issues now. Tire pressure sensor came on, heater pump went out, windows are not rolling down from the main door, battery died during a extreme cold weather also only the air blowing out the dash board vents that hits the windshield and that's it for now. BTW how do I fix that? Because my other vents are not blowing out air. I'm ready to trade this car in, but I just paid it off last year. I have a 2012 chevy traverse. My husband don't even want to be bothered with it . I'm tired and not sure what to do. I watch TH-cam videos and try to fix things myself.
Thanks for watching! I’m still paying for mine. Idk, I was trying to use the Chevy dealership but my backyard mechanic seems to be able to fix the traverse better than the dealership 😂
Only take your car to the dealer if you know which mechanic is going to work on your car,after he fixes the problem only use him to work on it,if he moves locally then you go to his new location, hopefully he moves locally.
Best thing to do is hire attorney they will jump action corporate will he all over dealers law suits are expensive they no it. In the society we live in today have to get a lawyer once they receive phone call from your lawyer its a diff game 8n your favor
I just went through this mess with a 2021 Traverse 147 thousand miles . 1500 for pcm . Took a month to get the part. 239 for chevy to program it. Got it back check engine light still on. Now need purge valve. Next rear passenger light and passenger fog light were out.
I have a 2010 traverse had a code of p0420 witch is a 02 sensor the dealership to me.it was my fuel pump 900 dollars the he tells.me.they drove it 25 miles but yet they said the fuel pump was bad didn't make enough pressure dealerships suck I got.the 02 sensor running go ever since
I HAVE A CHEVY MALIBU 2014, NOT TOO MANY PROBLEMS. EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT IT USED. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED SOME THINGS FOR FREE EVEN REPLACED 2 BATTERIES AS MY CAR REQUIRE 2. MY CAR HAS A MECHANISM WHERE THE ENGINE CUTS OFF WHEN IT STOPS AND RESTARTS WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK. THEY SAY THE CAR DOES THAT TO SAVE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ENGINE. DOES YOUR VEHICLE HAVE 2 BATTERIES
I have a similar problem with the gas they told me they won't inspect the car because it has a check engine light on it and it will fail so they tell me I can set up an appointment later for them to diagnose it for $199.99 just diagnosed not fix then they will need about a day or two for that as well as schedule another appointment once done to do the PA inspection admission which I originally went there in the first place for her and then charge me for that
Crappy dealership you have there. GM has enough problems without a dealer making it worse. I'm the original owner of my 2012 Traverse. I've babied it. The only issue I've ever had is that I'll be changing the 11 year old battery tomorrow. It's still a great car. A bit hard on gas though.
Be careful it happens to a lot of GM they have everything from onboard computer to electronic management systems is linked to radio…so if u put an aftermarket radio it might screw with the whole car…These GM engineers have no respect for human life
I totally agree I had the same issue with my 2010 Chevy Traverse circuit to the Chevy dealer nothing but damn joke... and also I'm a little nausea knowledgeable on mechanical things so me and TH-cam's have fixed it everything on this car... I have always loved Chevy but now I will buy Ford and Toyota I absolutely hate Chevy now
Say guy I feel you I got a 2011 traverse and I was having front end problems all under warranty I took my car to them twice they said they couldn't find nothing wrong with the suspension everything is fine I said you don't hear that clunking noise when you come in at the driveway they said no everything is fine your shocks are fine your control arm bushings and everything is fine I say okay I go home I end up getting my tires I had to buy new tires I pulled the tire off and the guy was putting them on and I'm looking at my ball joint the ball joint got to tear in it about 2 in you can look and see that all the bushings are dried and cracked Chevy just didn't want to take no time to do nothing I end up buying all the front end parts myself and putting them on myself
Sounds like they was just too damn lazy to diagnose the problem and never even took it for a drive test let alone look at all the joints to see worn out components. Your car was just been sat there at the dealership for weeks and finally call you back to pick the car up because they didn't even do shit to the car whatsoever.
I worked for chrysler U.A.W. labor union late 70's I would not buy a UAW made new car. But there is money to be made if you know how to fix them. For sure. Dealers only want to work on warranty work. That way they don't get attitude from the common pay as you go public. They want $3500 to do a timing chain replacement when you can do it for under $600 plus your time.
I wouldn't recommend you getting the 1st gen traverse period especially a use one at that. Go with toyota or Honda if want a reliable car. They're just easier to fix does not cost an arm and a leg in repair.
Once the battery is fine the alternator should be fine. The alternator charges the battery.. 🤷🏾♂️.. there's always that one dude in the hood who knows more than the dealerships
I just bought a 2021 Traverse, so many people keep telling me they are lemon cars AFTER I bought it. I'm so scared because I travel with my job and I can't be out a car!
I’m sorry. It’s possible you may have success with that model. This video is just my story 😂 I know someone who is having success with the 2021 model. I wish you well with your journey. Hey, please keep us posted with your journey. Because I actually do love the body style of the 2021 model. But my experience with this vehicle that I still have in the driveway it’s not good. We barely drive it I’m waiting for the opportunity to sell it. Which reminds me I better go start it before the battery dies😂
I have a 2020, it's been a great car so far. I've already put 45k on it, he has a 1st gen traverse. They do have there problems but from 2019 to now are completely different. Dont worry it's a good vehicle.
@@dnegel9546 starting in 2020 the traverses came with a 9 speed transmission. Previous years had a 6 speed. Yes they all are a 3.6 v6 but they are different generations. This traverse has a LGX 3.6 as the second gen traverses have a LFX 3.6.
I buy toyotas because I had great experience and reliability with them through many years. Don't fall for the buy American crap. When it comes to consumer goods buy something that won't hurt your own pocket!
Could be harmless. That’s a wide symptom. Are you still under warranty? Could be anything at this point. I’d narrow the sound down to an area of the vehicle and check that spot, if at all possible Check the details of the warranty I assume that they could inspect the suv
@@DTaylorTH-camChannel Thank you so much. I reached out to the dealership today and was asked to bring it tomorrow morning for a Honda Pilot 2022. I plan taking it there on my way from work tomorrow morning but no plans of taking another higher vehicle (running from extra cost). I like my chevy traverse but the noise is killing my soul.
My traverse turned me into a mechanic because just about everything has failed on my 2010 model. The power steering pump plus there was a leak, the engine, the transmission, struts front and back, camshafts, frequent oil changes, window motors, fuel injector, camshaft sensors, every single bulb went out at the same time, the alternator, windshield whiper transmission... all that in under 1 year !. Now its failing me again and it has temporary plates on the back because the engine light came on again, and it can't pass the emnissions test ! The timing chain has to be replaced ! I RAN OUT OF MONEY 😂. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR.
At least you speak the truth a lot of people won't do that the alternator is a pain in the ass to replace that looks like it is on the bottom part of the wheel well and the motor looked like
We had to replace the pcm and have the Chevy dealership program it. But of course Chevy dealership had no clue that was problem. A backyard mechanic figured it out. Im not sure if that’s your issue
Try cleaning the tb really well...like remove it completely & clean all of the carbon buildup off of the backside & everything...I've heard that has been working 4 alot of Traverse owners with engine power reduction/service stabilitrack issues during normal driving It's worth a shot & should be part of your routine maintenance schedule anyway; just be sure to perform the correct tb relearn procedure for your specific model if you remove it completely...the relearn procedure is usually outlined in the owner's manual somewhere or u could always look it up online
They’re on the same team, I went to two different Chevy dealerships and it was the same result called management of both dealerships and all they do is defend each other. It’s like when the government conducts an internal investigation, lol. It’s a joke. If I thought it would’ve helped, I would have but I don’t think so
The fact that you took it back to the dealership so many times after they told you they didnt want to fix it. says a lot about YOU not them. Trade the car in and cut your loses. Also cut your damn grass. lol
Lol! Maybe.... They said they would work on it but it would be expensive, treating me as if I couldn't afford it. So, just to be clear.... Do you think 2 Chevy dealerships should or could be able to fix a Chevy? A vehicle that they manufactured? Let’s not forget a “backyard mechanic” was able to repair their product and you say there is an issue with me? 😂😂😂😂 I'll accept the grass "shot" But this is on Chevy... I’ll also agree to "trade the junk in and cut your loss. Dang the grass tho
I took mine back 3xs because I paid for the warranty and paid over 2000 for them to fix stuff they said they did but didn't. I hate how they won't listen to me about them checking the bolts and ordering my mofo flex pipe. I'm on disability benefits, just had stage 0 colon cancer crap *yes, Im laughing at my own pun lol* removed, getting screwed over every which way except I don't even wanna fake it anymore 😭😂😭😂😭😂 So, I invested my money in a tools and equipment now so, I'm going to go back to doing my own mechanical work since I can finally move my hand more (nerve damage from a Jeep that was recalled but nothing actually fixed). Trust me. My Grandma and Grandpa and parents raized me to have a backbone - not a wishbone. My common law hubby could come do your lawn lol but so could our 5yr old girl who learned to drive the zero turn before I did hahahahahaha
Pretty sure my man is going to get all annoying about me doing things I'm not supposed to like working on vehicles or doing demo work or renos again hahahahaha Thanks for this vid btw. Cheered me up. Felt like I was listening to my own cuz being a whiner till I fixed whatever he broke again lol Peace and bannock grease!
YEAH, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DEALERSHIP IS AT FAULT. ALL CARS EVENTIALLY BREAK DOWN AND WITH BUYING A USED CAR ITS USUALLY THE LUCK OF THE DRAW. THE CARS THEY BUILD NOW ARE MORE COMPLICATED. ALSO IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU RECEIVED TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I USUALLY ASK TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE HIRED HELP AND NOT REALLY MACHANICS.
Hi there Richmond native, I to live Richmond I have a 2012 traverse had for two years now at 115,000 miles check engine light been on for 6 months. Took it to Haley Buick GMC-Airport 5500 S Laburnum Ave, Richmond, VA Let them put it on a machine called me in said it was the 02 sensor gone bad paid $180 for putting it on the machine drove to my friends mechanic he replaced it .....light went out started raining I ran through a big puddle of water light popped back on...🤦♀️ Went by auto zone got them to put that reader on it came back again 02 sensor plus it's running bad now worse then ever and I can't park on a hill or it won't move even with the gas paddle to the floor does anyone else have these problems?
I'm leaving. As soon I get my money right. Toyota Forerunner, Tundra or maybe Tacoma. I have a 2006 Honda Accord with 338,000 miles drives and feels better than ALL American cars I've ever owned. Only time it ever really goes to the mechanic is for an oil change or to change the timing belt every 100,000 miles and I actually love that Honda 🤗
All dealerships suck and cost an arm in a leg. Chevy is no better or worse. Good rule of thumb don’t go to the dealership unless you have to, like to replace the proprietary computer for example
My daughter has a 2017 Traverse and when she accelerates she can feel it vibrate it doesn't vibrate when she stops any suggestions because after your story I definitely will not be suggesting that she take it to a dealership
Hi!! The sad thing about these cars is that there’s so many things that can go wrong with them because of all the computer, stuff and connections and then you add that on with poor quality and craftsmanship, and then bad service…. I have 2006 Honda Accord with 350,000 miles and runs like it’s new. Here’s the video ⬇️ th-cam.com/video/J3McZkN-CPA/w-d-xo.html I’m so confused on why the American cars have less quality control and the foreign cars last longer and better. I truly want to buy American but it doesn’t seem economical. I’d try a diagnostic services first and see if there’s anything in common between the diagnosis. 🤷🏽♂️
Seems like a warped brake rotor if it vibrate while driving and stop when you slow down. My new 2013 camry had a cheap stock wheels from the factory that had warped when I took it up to reno going down on a steep incline and I use a lot of braking so when the rotor got too hot it warp and after I replace the rotor and the cheap wheel with a better aftermarket wheel life has been great ever since.
This is why I stopped purchasing GM vehicles. Especially Chevrolet. I have been purchasing Toyota ever since 2006. Up until that point I was a GM customer. Since the early 1970's to be exact. TOO MANY BS REPAIRS on my Chevys & Buicks. Since I have been going with Toyota I have had very few repairs. And what repairs I did have I ALWAYS received Top Notch Service. Granted not all dealerships are equal in their quality and that goes for Toyota as well. However, I have been fortunate to have a quality dealer in my town to rely on....
I'll tell you what I think about it little Chevy traverse is a piece of crap me and my wife got a 2017 it was a problem when we first got it we had to get OnStar to take it back to Capitol Chevrolet here in Raleigh North Carolina every time we got it back it did the same thing over again I told my wife that it's going to have to go cuz I am not going to keep putting money into a vehicle that don't work we going to send it back to Capitol Chevrolet one more time and if it keep doing the same thing they can keep it I do not care if they put it down as a repossessed or not because it do not hurt my feelings whatsoever we already got one that already paid for
Traverse 2014 90k My AC out my shocks front out radio out windows 2 out water pump out TC is acting up , Chevy is just crap CRAP mayor crap , I have a Nissan altima 13 corola 09 with 200k , never had a problem NEVER just regular battery belts tires , From now on Just going to get Toyota or Honda forge American cars and I teaching my kids not to buy an american cars or BMW Mersedez
$1600 for a battery and alternator. Holy crap. Yeah ok!! Someone be smoking something good over there at the GM Dealership! But man I feel you on these SUV's, Chevy had a great idea but these vehicles are nothing but problems. Great video and overview of everything you experienced!
Thank you so much for watching. I just had to get it off my chest and let the world know what happened.
Now I’m struggling on which direction to take the channel. Lol.
I had a GMC Acadia SLT AWD 2012, nothing but a money pit. Like put me fr in the poor house!!! lmao. And yeah hahaha i hear ya man! i have that same problem with mine @@DTaylorTH-camChannel
$1600 for a battery and alternator? They couldn't rob that much if they had a gun and a mask!
hahaha facts!@@stevemccooleq
You have the patience of a Saint.

Hey that’s awesome. I’m glad you’ve had success with your vehicle.
I don’t take my Chevy Traverse, (2021), back to the Chevy dealership unless it is covered by their warranty. I find my own trusted shops and that’s who I use. I do not trust the dealership. I feel your pain.
I had mine also for over 5 years. 2012 Chevy Traverse LT and just a few window bad window switches and a bad alternator. LOVE that manual Honda Accord. God Bless.

Wow I feel bad that it happened I just bought a one because I had with my of 2019 Tuscan I pray 🙏 my chevy treat me good and thanks for the information 🙏
Like and followed now! I have the same exact vehicle I’ve even personally replaced the motor once and wasted money at the dealership that never solved anything I had to figure it out.now I have to replace the torque converter bc the tach and speedometer jump while on the highway
I feel you. I have a 2015 Traverse that has a wrist numbing steering wheel shake at 40-65 MPH. Chevy dealership has looked at it 3 times. They can't find the fix and typed on the work order, "no solution found" and told me to take the car. I contacted GM, I have had 3 different GM Customer Solution people say they are handling the issue. Been 4 months since the dealership first had the car there for this issue. Ford is looking real good right now!
I want to buy American so bad... But the quality is low.
I also own a 2006 Honda Accord 335,000 miles no real issues. It just drives and drives and drives
The same thing happens to my 2015 Chevy! And I was told the same thing!!
I don't own a Chevy Traverse but I DID have your exact same problem on my GM vehicle when I first purchased it used...I replaced the whole front end myself all the way down to the wheel bearings and STILL had a terrible "shimmy" in my steering wheel @ pretty much anything above 40mph...I had one local tire shop tell me that one of my wheels had excessive runout in it & he could barely spin balance it. All of the wheels had curb rash on them so I decided to buy all new wheels & tires online and had that same tire shop install them...STILL had the shimmy @ 35+mph...it wasn't until I learned about road force balancing that I FINALLY got to the root cause of this issue...I took my wheels/tire combo down to DISCOUNT TIRE CO. who performed a road-force balance to all 4 of my wheels and VOILA' It was literally that simple the shimmy was gone gone gone 100% and has not returned! Just a suggestion if you're still having this problem; you've probably only been getting a basic spin balance from your local Joe's tire shop & what you actually need is a more thorough & complete balance on all 4!!(assuming that everything else on the suspension still checks out & your steering rack isn't worn & your wheel bearings don't have any excessive runout) Hey it worked for me & I DO recommend Discount Tire b/c they told me that RFB is the only type of balancing they even perform these days!
The Buick Enclave is basically the same vehicle. What a beautiful great running vehicle with all the extras. We made many family trips and had it for 13 years....but starting at 45,000 miles we started having issues that included the following, some in warranty, some outside the warranty: power steering pump, rack&pinion, ac condenser, radiator, alternator, compressor, water pump 2x, struts 2x, ignition coil packs 3x, transmission failure, outer cv axels 2x, motor mounts 2x, starter, battery 3x, a lot of the repairs I did myself with the help of a shop manual,, forums, and youtube. The last straw at 228,000 miles the computer module shorted, shut the car down while driving on a major roadway. Replaced the computer, finally had enough and traded for another brand vehicle.... If you purchase one, trade in at about 30,000 miles...
Timing chain on mine at 100,000 miles. Back hatch is not working the windows have issues. Its never ending. We need to know of this mechanic guy whom you speak of. Smart man
We call him Chino. He’s a wanderer
I feel you………. Some people are so blind & stubborn to buy “American” that they give ford, Chevrolet & Chrysler a pass for their cheap designs & builds…… not even realizing that some of those brands are built in Mexico. If people will pay thousands for crap cars, they’ll continue to sell them. Best reliable cars are foreign brands Toyota, Honda, etc., use better quality parts & built in USA too. Glad your bringing awareness to this issue with your story😁.
People are so blind to everything it seems nowadays
But I’ll stick to automobiles 😩 you’re absolutely right. American vehicles used to be good and worth it.
Too many bailout programs for the automotive industry from different presidents since the “80s”…. They aren’t held accountable for the garbage they sell.
Now it’s trickled down to the dealerships. The service is ridiculous and not even cordial. It’s so crazy.
if it were not for terrible road noise in Honda Accords we would buy another...so this time it is a new 23 Chevy Traverse
@@marlpaakki4464 those look pretty dope😎 totally redesigned...my neighbor just bought one & I had to take a closer look b/c it didn't even look like any other Traverse that I had ever seen
My 2010 LT AWD just hit 250k...I have replaced the power steering pump. Nothing else yet. Lucky for me I have great mechanics in the fam. So I know better when and what to do.
I have a 2010. I bought like 6 years ago bought it used. I never had an issue until now. Mechanics can't even what's wrong with it.
Very nice!!!
Liked this video for one reason cause you made me feel like I was talking with my neighbor I also have this vehicle and at the moment it's broken and I'm trying to fix it thanks for making the video
Thanks, I appreciate it. Mines still isn't fully operating right.
The problems are moving all around this American metal/fiberglass
I've had one 4 yrs and never had a issue with mine.
That’s actually pretty good news. I’m pretty sure there are some good Traverses out there.
Honesty it is a gorgeous vehicle. I love the way it looks, I love the interior, I love the features on the inside and I love the wheels. I think if I didn’t have the issue with the dealership, I probably would not have made this video. Because I understand all cars have issues, American cars just have more issues in some cases I guess.
I wish you continued success with your vehicle. That is a great success story and it also shows that there is a positive to this vehicle. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching!
Because you have another car, that’s why traverse lived with you 4 years.
What year and how many miles? @rick templeton
@@nestor.valentino 60 thousand miles absolutely no issues. I love it the best vehicle I've ever owned. My father in law said it rides better than his Cadillac. 2015.
I had a similar issue with my 2009 Traverse. I would be stopped at a light and the engine would just shut off. Eventually I found out the fuse plugs were loose. So I had to take the original screws out and replace them with a long bolt and a nut. And I haven't had that issue since.
Awesome! I’m glad it worked out for you
Wow, I was looking at Chevy until I seen all of these issues. I’ve had Toyota, Chrysler & now Ram. I’m not a fan of Chrysler anymore but never has issues with Toyota or Ram mechanics or dealerships. I’m glad you put that dealership on blast.
I had to do it!
My girlfriend and bought a 2014 Chev Eqanox well, whatever.
Anyways, engine locked up. We took it to Sands chev. Dealer. In Glendale,AZ. We bought a new engine $4,500. It took a week. No problem. Pick it up drove it home. Got home, I pop the hood n check the engine. I check the oil level. The dip stick was dry as a bone. I called the service guy and told him. No oil in the car!!! Unreal huh. He said the mechanic forgot to ck it.. free oil changes for two years,
After, that she sold the car. And yet! she got a 2020 chevy Traverse. I have the car oil change 4 times year. And every time they do oil changes i have to ck the dip stick, yes! Every time before i leave the dealership i ck the oil level and the dip stick barely shows oil on the end of the dip stick. So anyone has car oil change from anyone before you leave ck it.
I had the same year traverse. Biggest POS I've ever owned in my life. Same issues with the dealer not being able to diagnose anything and rude and overcharging! This has made me a lifelong boycotter of chevy. Never again. And I do want to buy American...instead I have 2 kia's 3toyotas and an Acura. I'd rather have a reliable car then save American jobs and have my wife broke down on a busy highway. Sorry America
Well said my friend. I tried to buy American also but it feels like it’s a money pit. And as they work on these cars, they act like they are unaware of the differences. It’s so crazy. This car looks fabulous. But it drives awful.
My 2006 Honda has over 350,000 miles on it and I trust it And it’s the car of choice when we are making quick long trips.
If you are reading this DO NOT BUY A TRAVERS
My wife wants another one...I told her Hell No!!!
Don’t do it!
Just bought one 2 hours ago lmao
Just bought one 2 hours ago lmao
@@matthew6202 hope you have better luck than I did
Hint: Do not buy, any Chevy Traverse, from 2010 to 2016 they came with too many problems.
Do not buy the 2010 Chevy Traverse!
The Engine is bad, The Transmission is Bad, The A/C has problems, the driver side window control switch comes with Problems, The Power Steering pump has Issues too. Just so you know.
If you want dependable cars or trucks...
Buy Toyota or Honda Vehicles.
I’ve been having troubles with mine slipping gears and the chevy place I took it said nothing was wrong and then got smart with me saying “all cars have some issues ma’am”!
Honestly that's ridiculous. Chevy dealerships ought to be ashamed of themselves. They made the car they should be able to fix the car. They probably didn't even take the time to diagnose it. When I brought mine in... they didn't want to fix it they wanted to sell me a new one.
They offered me $7,000 for a broken Traverse, while refusing to fix it ridiculous... SAD!
My 97 Toyota Celica has no issues at all
Exactly! My 2006 Honda... No real problems either

@@DTaylorTH-camChannel late 90’s / early 2000’’s was the pinnacle of build quality without too much crazy technology in Japanese and Domestic cars and trucks
Smh
We went through something similar in Michigan we took are traverse to the dealership to get a full inspection and they told us it would take a week and it would cost us $200. We ended up taking the car to are mechanic and then he did the inspection for free and then helped me buy the parts and I then I changed my spark plugs and boots my self
Yet Chevy remains in business
I have a 2013 Traverse, bought new. They had low coolant from the factory. I had to put over a gallon of coolant in a few years into my ownership, but had overheating issues months after I bought it. Other than that, 95K miles now and no issues except getting TCC issues with the transmission where when switching from gear 2 to gear 1 at intersections, it'll kill the engine, like an inexperienced manual transmission driver not knowing how to work gear 1 and the clutch. I have to drive in L and manually switch the gears to prevent engine shutoff. Going to cost $1.6K or more to repair... Apparently it's a known issue as I found one of the GM bulletin board notices saying so. The TEHCM has to be replaced. Miss my Honda Accords.
I love my Honda Accord!!!
My advice is don't be patriotic and stop buying American brands they make junk and are inferior to Japanese brands. You want quality and reliability stick with manufacturers from the land of the rising sun, like Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Subaru, and even some Mitsubishi models are better made than our own domestic manufacturers. I learn also the hard way not to buy from the domestic brands the Traverse is just a natural POS when compared to a Toyota Highlander or a Honda Pilot!
Thanks for the Truth!!!!!
Can’t wait to get rid of my silverado lease!! Wish they made them like my 02 sierra that I had for 14 years with no major problems! Definitely not like our trouble free 05 accord that we still have!!!!!!
Always complain to the GM about any service department and that dealership should of had confirmed fixes by Identifix software but they are probably too cheap to purchase it.
It's shameful man. That's why a lot of them are going bust and rightfully so. A lot of people in the last few years (especially since C19) have started DIY'ing everything.
Same issues here, nothing but problems since I got my 17 traverse, but I got it in 2019. 30k miles, immediately started with electronic, transmission, bluetooth, touch display, engine problems, on and on. getting rid of it now at 82k
I’m so sorry. As to be expected from the history I’ve experienced. I’m sorry this is happening to you
I had two steering pumps put on within 6 months on 2009 the first and worst generation of the Chevy traverse. My mechanic told me that these cars have that issue the rack and pinion the check engine light, the Catalytic converters had to have all mines replace
Wow. Insane
Wish I would’ve saw your video a year ago because I had a 2013 Malibu that had the exact same issues. it would randomly turn off on me, took it to the dealerships. They said they couldn’t do nothing for me got in contact with corporate. They couldn’t do anything for me until one day I was driving on the highway and the car just shut off on me and after that, I was like I’m done. Now I wonder if the issue you were having with the same issue I was having.
My traction control kept showing up and cutting off it was the fuse box. After the dealership kept it for three weeks they gave a discount because it took them so long to find the problem. The codes didn’t seem to match the problem. It hasn’t stopped on me since.
Mine too. Backyard mechanic change my pcm and Chevy reluctantly programmed it and so far so good
They are a rip-off. Thanks for the tips
I like your channel. I have a love and hate relationship with my traverse. It's a nice family car with 8 seats, but mine have so many issues now. Tire pressure sensor came on, heater pump went out, windows are not rolling down from the main door, battery died during a extreme cold weather also only the air blowing out the dash board vents that hits the windshield and that's it for now. BTW how do I fix that? Because my other vents are not blowing out air. I'm ready to trade this car in, but I just paid it off last year. I have a 2012 chevy traverse. My husband don't even want to be bothered with it . I'm tired and not sure what to do. I watch TH-cam videos and try to fix things myself.
Thanks for watching! I’m still paying for mine. Idk, I was trying to use the Chevy dealership but my backyard mechanic seems to be able to fix the traverse better than the dealership 😂
Nice to know his Wife was a female. 😀
We are having Traverse issues. Also im right down the street from that dealership. SMH
It's awful that you can't get good honest service.... They're getting paid. Sheesh
Only take your car to the dealer if you know which mechanic is going to work on your car,after he fixes the problem only use him to work on it,if he moves locally then you go to his new location, hopefully he moves locally.
Sound advice
Best thing to do is hire attorney they will jump action corporate will he all over dealers law suits are expensive they no it. In the society we live in today have to get a lawyer once they receive phone call from your lawyer its a diff game 8n your favor
I just went through this mess with a 2021 Traverse 147 thousand miles . 1500 for pcm . Took a month to get the part. 239 for chevy to program it. Got it back check engine light still on. Now need purge valve. Next rear passenger light and passenger fog light were out.
It’s crazy. Just crazy.
How’s the car doing now?
I have a 2010 traverse had a code of p0420 witch is a 02 sensor the dealership to me.it was my fuel pump 900 dollars the he tells.me.they drove it 25 miles but yet they said the fuel pump was bad didn't make enough pressure dealerships suck I got.the 02 sensor running go ever since
I HAVE A CHEVY MALIBU 2014, NOT TOO MANY PROBLEMS. EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT IT USED. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED SOME THINGS FOR FREE EVEN REPLACED 2 BATTERIES AS MY CAR REQUIRE 2. MY CAR HAS A MECHANISM WHERE THE ENGINE CUTS OFF WHEN IT STOPS AND RESTARTS WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK. THEY SAY THE CAR DOES THAT TO SAVE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ENGINE. DOES YOUR VEHICLE HAVE 2 BATTERIES
I have a similar problem with the gas they told me they won't inspect the car because it has a check engine light on it and it will fail so they tell me I can set up an appointment later for them to diagnose it for $199.99 just diagnosed not fix then they will need about a day or two for that as well as schedule another appointment once done to do the PA inspection admission which I originally went there in the first place for her and then charge me for that
Crappy dealership you have there. GM has enough problems without a dealer making it worse. I'm the original owner of my 2012 Traverse. I've babied it. The only issue I've ever had is that I'll be changing the 11 year old battery tomorrow. It's still a great car. A bit hard on gas though.
Be careful it happens to a lot of GM they have everything from onboard computer to electronic management systems is linked to radio…so if u put an aftermarket radio it might screw with the whole car…These GM engineers have no respect for human life
Exactly
I totally agree I had the same issue with my 2010 Chevy Traverse circuit to the Chevy dealer nothing but damn joke... and also I'm a little nausea knowledgeable on mechanical things so me and TH-cam's have fixed it everything on this car... I have always loved Chevy but now I will buy Ford and Toyota I absolutely hate Chevy now
Say guy I feel you I got a 2011 traverse and I was having front end problems all under warranty I took my car to them twice they said they couldn't find nothing wrong with the suspension everything is fine I said you don't hear that clunking noise when you come in at the driveway they said no everything is fine your shocks are fine your control arm bushings and everything is fine I say okay I go home I end up getting my tires I had to buy new tires I pulled the tire off and the guy was putting them on and I'm looking at my ball joint the ball joint got to tear in it about 2 in you can look and see that all the bushings are dried and cracked Chevy just didn't want to take no time to do nothing I end up buying all the front end parts myself and putting them on myself
Chevy is so wild and LAZY!!!!
Sounds like they was just too damn lazy to diagnose the problem and never even took it for a drive test let alone look at all the joints to see worn out components. Your car was just been sat there at the dealership for weeks and finally call you back to pick the car up because they didn't even do shit to the car whatsoever.
ENGINE TIMING BELT SUPPORT DEFECTIVE IS THE WORSt AND the Main ISSUE IN THOSE ENGINES.
thanks for the sharing. the dealers were so suck.
I worked for chrysler U.A.W. labor union late 70's I would not buy a UAW made new car. But there is money to be made if you know how to fix them. For sure. Dealers only want to work on warranty work. That way they don't get attitude from the common pay as you go public. They want $3500 to do a timing chain replacement when you can do it for under $600 plus your time.
Sounds accurate to me 😊
Does your Traverse have assist step? Do you or your children use it? Was it worth getting it?
Yes. It has the assist step…. Love it and always use the step, it actually came with the vehicle.
I believe everyone in the family uses it too
Glad I caught it vid I was goin to buy a 2010 w/ a 130,000 on it for 5000 I'm wondering why it's not being used buy seller
Run!!! Don’t buy it
I wouldn't recommend you getting the 1st gen traverse period especially a use one at that. Go with toyota or Honda if want a reliable car. They're just easier to fix does not cost an arm and a leg in repair.
Once the battery is fine the alternator should be fine. The alternator charges the battery.. 🤷🏾♂️.. there's always that one dude in the hood who knows more than the dealerships
Right! 😂 In this case we changed the pcm and had the dealership program the pcm. And we’re good so far!
They are a bunch of thief. My next car.will be foreign. I. Love chevy . It's sad they are forcing us to look elsewhere.
I know the feeling…. It’s very sad.
Sorry you dealing with this, I work at GM and scared to buy 1. Looking at a 2023 traverse but don't know what I should do
That’s why I’m here too! It’s a beautiful car
Yes, indeed…. I just had my Chevy traverse TOWED to the mechanic this morning.
Never ending American made nightmare
Man, you’re just saying the pure truth, Chevy is a piece of shit, specially traverse.
So true. Unfortunately
Sounds like a typical dealership
I have a 09 traverse and I called the dealer because I have a bad timing chain and they told me it would be 2600 dallars labor before parts
The Chevy service calls for expensive repairs. Keep your wallet full and ready….
Anyway check the E-vap it could be an easy fix.
Chevy vehicles use to be DEPENDABLE not any MORE
Not at all

I just bought a 2021 Traverse, so many people keep telling me they are lemon cars AFTER I bought it. I'm so scared because I travel with my job and I can't be out a car!
I’m sorry. It’s possible you may have success with that model. This video is just my story 😂
I know someone who is having success with the 2021 model. I wish you well with your journey. Hey, please keep us posted with your journey. Because I actually do love the body style of the 2021 model. But my experience with this vehicle that I still have in the driveway it’s not good. We barely drive it I’m waiting for the opportunity to sell it.

@@dnegel9546 starting in 2020 the traverses came with a 9 speed transmission. Previous years had a 6 speed. Yes they all are a 3.6 v6 but they are different generations. This traverse has a LGX 3.6 as the second gen traverses have a LFX 3.6.
@@toyota-dx7ff oh thanks didn't know. Appeared to be the same.
None of the new cars are any good. That's why it is important to get a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.

I just bought a 2021 chevy Traverse with 6k miles and I keep hearing some noises. What could that be?
Could be harmless. That’s a wide symptom.
Are you still under warranty? Could be anything at this point. I’d narrow the sound down to an area of the vehicle and check that spot, if at all possible
Check the details of the warranty I assume that they could inspect the suv
@@DTaylorTH-camChannel Thank you so much. I reached out to the dealership today and was asked to bring it tomorrow morning for a Honda Pilot 2022. I plan taking it there on my way from work tomorrow morning but no plans of taking another higher vehicle (running from extra cost). I like my chevy traverse but the noise is killing my soul.
My traverse turned me into a mechanic because just about everything has failed on my 2010 model. The power steering pump plus there was a leak, the engine, the transmission, struts front and back, camshafts, frequent oil changes, window motors, fuel injector, camshaft sensors, every single bulb went out at the same time, the alternator, windshield whiper transmission... all that in under 1 year !. Now its failing me again and it has temporary plates on the back because the engine light came on again, and it can't pass the emnissions test ! The timing chain has to be replaced ! I RAN OUT OF MONEY 😂.
DO NOT BUY THIS CAR.
It’s a money pit!
At least you speak the truth a lot of people won't do that the alternator is a pain in the ass to replace that looks like it is on the bottom part of the wheel well and the motor looked like
Mine is doing the same battery alternator what parts did u fix replace
We had to replace the pcm and have the Chevy dealership program it. But of course Chevy dealership had no clue that was problem. A backyard mechanic figured it out.
Im not sure if that’s your issue
Died in traffic they blamed it on battery and alternator and it still kicks the stabilitrack light and engine lights on
Also played tag replacing all the cats to no avail
Try cleaning the tb really well...like remove it completely & clean all of the carbon buildup off of the backside & everything...I've heard that has been working 4 alot of Traverse owners with engine power reduction/service stabilitrack issues during normal driving
It's worth a shot & should be part of your routine maintenance schedule anyway; just be sure to perform the correct tb relearn procedure for your specific model if you remove it completely...the relearn procedure is usually outlined in the owner's manual somewhere or u could always look it up online
I got one now n im regreting it paid for too in full god give me a sign
Well…. It’s paid for. I had payments 😝
I would have tried to get ahold of GENERAL MOTOR corporation office
They’re on the same team, I went to two different Chevy dealerships and it was the same result called management of both dealerships and all they do is defend each other. It’s like when the government conducts an internal investigation, lol. It’s a joke. If I thought it would’ve helped, I would have but I don’t think so
dealer they don fix cars they just sell cars most of them are not even a mechanics
They have a mechanic shop, garage and tools…
Car stealerships are the absolute worst!
Yes indeed!
Wow. This dealership service place is the worst I've heard of. Horrible. I hope you and everyone else does Google ratings about this place too.
Exactly. I don’t understand how they can still legally do business 😤
The fact that you took it back to the dealership so many times after they told you they didnt want to fix it. says a lot about YOU not them. Trade the car in and cut your loses.
Also cut your damn grass. lol
Lol! Maybe.... They said they would work on it but it would be expensive, treating me as if I couldn't afford it. So, just to be clear....
Do you think 2 Chevy dealerships should or could be able to fix a Chevy? A vehicle that they manufactured?
Let’s not forget a “backyard mechanic” was able to repair their product and you say there is an issue with me?
😂😂😂😂
I'll accept the grass "shot"
But this is on Chevy...
I’ll also agree to "trade the junk in and cut your loss. Dang the grass tho
I took mine back 3xs because I paid for the warranty and paid over 2000 for them to fix stuff they said they did but didn't. I hate how they won't listen to me about them checking the bolts and ordering my mofo flex pipe. I'm on disability benefits, just had stage 0 colon cancer crap *yes, Im laughing at my own pun lol* removed, getting screwed over every which way except I don't even wanna fake it anymore 😭😂😭😂😭😂 So, I invested my money in a tools and equipment now so, I'm going to go back to doing my own mechanical work since I can finally move my hand more (nerve damage from a Jeep that was recalled but nothing actually fixed). Trust me. My Grandma and Grandpa and parents raized me to have a backbone - not a wishbone.

Exactly!!! The only thing is I have issues without a check engine light.
Yes, check engine is my new name for them
Suck…. Every brand all most the same the way of workshop guys treat customers.
YEAH, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DEALERSHIP IS AT FAULT. ALL CARS EVENTIALLY BREAK DOWN AND WITH BUYING A USED CAR ITS USUALLY THE LUCK OF THE DRAW. THE CARS THEY BUILD NOW ARE MORE COMPLICATED. ALSO IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU RECEIVED TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I USUALLY ASK TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE HIRED HELP AND NOT REALLY MACHANICS.
I hate that for you we are going thru same thing
It's rough because they know we need our vehicle

Hi there Richmond native, I to live Richmond I have a 2012 traverse had for two years now at 115,000 miles check engine light been on for 6 months. Took it to Haley Buick GMC-Airport 5500 S Laburnum Ave, Richmond, VA
Let them put it on a machine called me in said it was the 02 sensor gone bad paid $180 for putting it on the machine drove to my friends mechanic he replaced it .....light went out started raining I ran through a big puddle of water light popped back on...🤦♀️
Went by auto zone got them to put that reader on it came back again 02 sensor plus it's running bad now worse then ever
and I can't park on a hill or it won't move even with the gas paddle to the floor does anyone else have these problems?
These Traverses…. My goodness
I have the same Chevy SUV Sir Im' going threw the same thing right now. And still maken payments on my car im just so upset
Trust me.... I'm doing the same as you. It's saddening sometimes
Yes it is. I may leave the Chevy Family soon Lord Willing i can't even anymore. #Good luck
I'm leaving. As soon I get my money right. Toyota Forerunner, Tundra or maybe Tacoma.
I have a 2006 Honda Accord with 338,000 miles drives and feels better than ALL American cars I've ever owned. Only time it ever really goes to the mechanic is for an oil change or to change the timing belt every 100,000 miles and I actually love that Honda 🤗
Sorry, I can't hear you with the ac on.
I have a 2017 traverse primer an it's the worst car I've ever had my EVAP system is failing an my starter is going out the car sucks
All dealerships suck and cost an arm in a leg. Chevy is no better or worse. Good rule of thumb don’t go to the dealership unless you have to, like to replace the proprietary computer for example
That’s what I had to do replace the pcm
Customer service is dead. All they are interested in is making the easy money.
Yes indeed!
My daughter has a 2017 Traverse and when she accelerates she can feel it vibrate it doesn't vibrate when she stops any suggestions because after your story I definitely will not be suggesting that she take it to a dealership
Hi!! The sad thing about these cars is that there’s so many things that can go wrong with them because of all the computer, stuff and connections and then you add that on with poor quality and craftsmanship, and then bad service….

I’m so confused on why the American cars have less quality control and the foreign cars last longer and better. I truly want to buy American but it doesn’t seem economical. I’d try a diagnostic services first and see if there’s anything in common between the diagnosis. 🤷🏽♂️
Seems like a warped brake rotor if it vibrate while driving and stop when you slow down. My new 2013 camry had a cheap stock wheels from the factory that had warped when I took it up to reno going down on a steep incline and I use a lot of braking so when the rotor got too hot it warp and after I replace the rotor and the cheap wheel with a better aftermarket wheel life has been great ever since.
It's not too often you see somebody wash a car from the bottom-up shouldn't it be from the top down?
I usually wash the car in quarter sections. 1/4 at a time so the soap doesn’t dry in the sun.
This is why I stopped purchasing GM vehicles. Especially Chevrolet.
I have been purchasing Toyota ever since 2006.
Up until that point I was a GM customer. Since the early 1970's to be exact.
TOO MANY BS REPAIRS on my Chevys & Buicks.
Since I have been going with Toyota I have had very few repairs.
And what repairs I did have I ALWAYS received Top Notch Service.
Granted not all dealerships are equal in their quality and that goes for Toyota as well.
However, I have been fortunate to have a quality dealer in my town to rely on....
Right! I have a 2006 Honda 330,000 miles... No real issues.
I totally agree with your actions.
Saying “my wife” doesn’t need a qualifier “who is a female”
Meaning… the dealerships may have tried to get over on her because she’s a female lol
He needs, now days, they say my wife and then u see a man.
I didn’t realize that statement would get that much attention 😂
What year is it?
2012
Seems like they just hired a bunch of bummed as they're mechanic. Either that or they just racist and didn't want to fix your car for you.
Why didn’t I see your video like a week ago… 😅
I’m sorry 😢
I'll tell you what I think about it little Chevy traverse is a piece of crap me and my wife got a 2017 it was a problem when we first got it we had to get OnStar to take it back to Capitol Chevrolet here in Raleigh North Carolina every time we got it back it did the same thing over again I told my wife that it's going to have to go cuz I am not going to keep putting money into a vehicle that don't work we going to send it back to Capitol Chevrolet one more time and if it keep doing the same thing they can keep it I do not care if they put it down as a repossessed or not because it do not hurt my feelings whatsoever we already got one that already paid for
