I have now had 3 transmissions and 3 torque converters put in my car and GM refuses to do anything to fix this issue.

The contact owned a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving 3 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The vehicle decelerated, and the vehicle was uncontrollable. The vehicle crashed into the brother's vehicle parked in the driveway and pushed the vehicle forward. The vehicle then crashed into a desk before stopping. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while parking the vehicle in the driveway at the brother’s residence. The contact and her husband were inside the vehicle at the time of the failure. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. The contact was taken to the local medical center. The contact sustained pain in the right knee. The vehicle was inspected by the insurance company and deemed a total loss. A Police report was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 60,324.

While parking the vehicle, after putting the transmission lever to park, and turning off the ignition, the doors unlocked and I started to exit, at that moment the vehicle started to roll backwards. I was able to avoid running over myself and got back into the driver's seat when I saw a "shift to park" message on the dashboard display. It took multiple cycles of restarting and stopping the engine and shifting to park to actually have the transmission shift to park. The problem continues and is becoming much more frequent and taking more attempts to actually put the car in park. This is obviously a safety issue, because drivers may exit their vehicles and may or may not realize that the ignition is on, that the battery can run down and strand them, possibly in a dangerous location, or the vehicle can move, injuring themselves or others. Also the door locks won't work. This is a well-known problem among multiple General Motors models. It is a systemic design flaw of the switch, not a random breakdown and not caused by abuse or misuse. Some vehicles have been recalled, some of the same model and year as mine. But, the recalls are specific according to VIN, and yet for some unknown reason, my specific VIN is not recalled. The problem is known and well documented. The solution is known. The safety problem is known, but apparently only if the VIN is in a certain range. All VINs matter. I will take my vehicle to an authorized dealer for repair. But there should be a recall and repair for all vehicles with this known (defective by design) switch. Also there should be full reimbursement to those who have already paid for repairs.

When driving at about 50 mph on a highway, there was a loud noise from the rear of the vehicle (something breaking) and the vehicle immediately veered into the oncoming lane (thankfully there was no traffic coming towards us, it is typically a busy road). While braking, I was able to steer it back towards the right, but soon after lost complete control of the vehicle and could not steer. The traverse went into a ditch and rolled with myself and two young passengers. Two vehicles that were behind us stopped to aid. The driver immediately behind me said there was nothing unusual (no smoke, sparks, etc) until we lost control. He checked the roadway where it happened and found a sheered off bolt. When we got the traverse to the wreckers, they lifted it up and within a minute or two found the location the bolt came from. It was the rear passenger side upper control arm knuckle bolt. I didn't see any recalls on something like this, but I do not believe something like this should have happened in a vehicle that has just 49,510 miles and barely any rust on it. I need answers. My family and friends could have been attending a funeral this week had circumstances been slightly different. I can provide pictures, but the upload link would not work for photos even after converting to proper size and file type. I have the collision report number but not the actual report on hand just yet.

The exhaust clamp rusted and broke, causing a hole in the exhaust which set off the engine light and eventually poisoned my catalytic converter costing $4000 to replace. GM's extended warranty exception for the admitted defect is to replace the clamp and flex pipe only, about $100 worth but they refused to cover the peripheral damage caused by the faulty clamp.

My transmission is said to be failing. I plan to get it looked at again this week. Safety of me and my two children are at risk when driving. The car shakes and could lose control. An independent I tried reporting it to my insurance but they told me to go to a mechanic and they won’t do anything to help me. There are no warning signals or lights or anything. It just started shaking and it’s scary to drive. I was told by an independent mechanic that it is my transmission. There was a recall in 2020 for transmission and he thinks it was never fixed and that’s most likely the issue. I have not gotten it fixed yet. It’s sitting in my driveway because I’m scared to drive my kids in it and it’s too expensive. So we had to get a rental car.

My car WILL not register that it is in park even though the dash says it’s in P and my gear shift is pushed all the way up in the park gear. It has taken hours some days for it to finally acknowledge that it is indeed in the park gear. I do NOT have time for that! And if it gets to the point where I have a dead battery because I didn’t “shift to park”, Chevrolet WILL be paying for it. This is insane and apparently has been an ongoing issue for a decade! FIX IT!

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced hard shifting. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was examined, and the contact was informed that the transmission or the transmission valve body had failed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in an extended warranty coverage related to the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.

The car will be placed in park but keeps saying shift to park. Then I have to turn the car on and off clicking the shift button till it will finally shut off. One time it took ten minutes. This needs to be a recall!!! Specifically since it seems to be affecting many of the cars!!!

The contact owned a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for an inspection, where a leaking oil pan gasket was diagnosed. Although the vehicle had been taken to the dealer two months prior, the dealer did not find the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 74,000.

The shift to park sensor is broken. It will keep my vehicle on and beeping for hours saying “shift to park” although my vehicle is in park and shut off.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while shifting into park(P), the “Shift to Park” warning light illuminated, even though the vehicle was already shifted to park(P). The contact stated that the gear selector was shifted back and forth several times before it was recognized that the vehicle was in park(P). During the failures, the warning light remained illuminated, causing the battery to drain and the following day the vehicle was unable to start. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

I bought my traverse in 2024 it’s now two year later and my entire transmission needs replaced no longer shifting between 1000& 2000rpms this is a known issue with these vehicles and there hasn’t been a recall yet. Also the button in my shift knob tells me it is not in park (shift to park) even though it’s clearly in park. Along with the transmission issue the stabilitrack warning comes on every time the car comes out of auto shut off and jumps forward. How is this safe?

My 2019 Chevy Traverse prior to "The Storm" when I left work and approached my vehicle someone left a not in my windshield wipers stating that my horn was honking every 15 seconds it was a long shift so by the time I got to my vehicle my battery was dead. I got a jump from a co-worker allowed my alternator to charge my battery, and it was fine (so I thought). Then the day after "The Storm" happened, my Traverse went haywire displaying multiple signs of electronic failures while driving on a major highway: Service ESC, ABS disabled, Traction control disabled, Power steering disabled, Horn honked continuously, windows won't roll down, Key fob unresponsive, Manual lock/ unlock switch unresponsive, A/C on but doesn't blow cold, infotainment system on, Cluster Hazard light indicators on but lights aren't illuminated, Windshield Wipers on max speed unprompted while spraying continuously. I pulled over, placed the vehicle in "park", turned the vehicle off, safely exited to realize my vehicle was still running, got back into the vehicle where I was greeted by a prompt that said to place the vehicle in park to turn it off. I attempted to shift but it was immovable, called a tow truck. Every time after dealership visits/ repairs my vehicle shutoff while moving. It's been to the dealership 3 times (4 to include tomorrow) I've also connected an OBD2 Scanner to run a diagnostic after the last visit and these faults appeared almost instantly. Work done so far: x2 BCM replacements (w/ flashed software) x1 Battery replacement x1 Keyless Entry Module replacement x1 Driver door lock/unlock switch replacement x3-->4 tow trucks Over $3,000 in expenses

Exhaust bracket broke, created a hole in pipe, which then resulted in cracked catalytic converter. Dealership and GM denied repairs due to the hole being on the "wrong pipe" but the same bracket that is covered broke resulting in the consequential damage. Check engine light came on, loud exhaust noise. Threw codes P219A, P2097, P0171. Bulletin even outlines that broken bracket/hole can cause cracks in converter, still denied. This is a known issue with the welding on this pipe/bracket, why they didn't extend the coverage to BOTH pipes is beyond me.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the "Shift to Park" message was displayed after shifting the vehicle into park(P). The bells and whistles failed to go off, and the vehicle made a continuous beeping sound. The failure required the contact to restart the vehicle 14 times. The contact was concerned that the battery would die. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the "Shift to Park" light needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered cost assistance. A case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

When shifter is put in park, vehicle does not register it is in park. This could possibly cause the vehicle to unintentionally roll. The vehicle could also not shut down and full and displays message "shift to park". This began at around 70k miles. The problem has been noted and witnessed with mechanic.

Wiring harness keeps getting ate up due to soybean coated wiring manufacturing.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the bracket was making an abnormal rattling noise. There was a hole on the outside of the muffler. The engine light was illuminated. The local dealer was contacted, and the bracket was replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000. The VIN was not available.

My car started making a sound similar to a cracked muffler but it was a very quiet sound that lasted a minute or two and went away. I thought something was loose and took to repair shop. My catalytic converter was cracked & the mechanic said it was in a place he had never seen before. Very high up. He tried to go through GM but my issue isn’t the same as any other that had been reported. My car only has 53,536 miles on it and I bought it new in October of 2019. I maintain consistent maintenance on it at the same repair shop. There is a recall on this car about emissions and possibly affecting the catalytic converter. If I do not fall into that recall so be it but maybe I am not the only person reporting this issue. I just want to have it on record in case it ever does become a recall.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at 15-30 MPH and shifting gears, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle began to shudder at 50-60 MPH. The yellow engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined the gear system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined a new gear system was needed. There was no warranty coverage. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, she felt an imbalance in her rear driver side tire. The vehicle was taken to both a dealer and an independent mechanic where they inspected the vehicle and discovered that the toe links were defective on both the rear driver side and rear passenger side tires. The contact was given an estimate for the repair at the dealer. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that they discovered a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 141,670. It was later discovered that the vehicle’s title mileage was 301,887. The contact discovered the discrepancy when he tried to trade in the vehicle and the dealer ran the Carfax. The mileage was listed on Carfax back on August 14, 2025.

Our 2019 traverse transmission around 130,000 miles started shuddering when slowly accelerating or driving. Not sure what causes this but I do know that it should be doing this as well as getting the Shift to Park message. I looked online and found that it's supposed to be the torque converter. I then contacted a transmission repair specialist and he stated that changing the fluid may make it worse or make it possibly fail altogether. Then I found a video about Shudder Fix and I added one of those packets to the transmission and it stopped the shudder but it now seems to be trying to creep back. This is a known issue with most people not being able to afford the $9000+ repair costs. The Shift to park issue is another issue that shouldn't be happening and the dealership will charge an arm and a leg for the repairs on this as well. Pressing the gear shift button about 5 to 10 times after shifting to park is a short term solution because that issue is tied to a spring action underneath the shifter to tell the car I'm in park. I found a bypass piece that is required to resolve the issue but I shouldn't have to do that to get this vehicle to work properly. Chevy needs to do a recall on this or they run the risk of having a bunch of them on the market where we all got rid of them and won't buy anymore Chevrolet vehicles. This is the second newer model vehicle I had from them. The first one was an Impala and the dealership didn't know why the screen would go black and cause the car to start hesitating horribly. So I left it with the dealership, they can have it back.

I took my vehicle for an oil change to the Tracy Chevrolet dealership. I was informed that they detected a leak. I returned my vehicle on 4/28/26 for an inspection. My vehicle on has 59,297 miles. I was just informed that my timing cover located at the front of the engine has a leak and possibly the oil pan. After doing research, this seems to be a common issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while shifted into park(P), the message "Shift to Park" was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed; however, the diagnostic result was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

Infotainment electrical issues, purge valve failure regardless of replacement, transmission failure regardless of replacement, exhaust bracket break regardless of replacement.

When shutting the vehicle off, shifting to park pushing the button to shut off, the dash indicates shift to park after the vehicle is shut off. vehicle will not lock. This is not safe to leave this way.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in park(P), the vehicle failed to turn off with the message “Shift to Park” displayed. The contact stated that several attempts were required to turn off the vehicle. The dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,300. The VIN was unavailable.

The car started locking up my steering wheel. I took it to the mechanic and they ran the codes and said it is the ABS control system module. I called the dealer to get the part and they said it is on back order nationally and it may be months before they can get the part. The 2018 model for Chevrolet traverse has been recalled for this exact thing but my model has not even though this is a known issue. My car is currently not drive able and GM can’t even provide the piece to make it driveable. This is a big issue and I am not receiving any help. If it is on back order it is obvious that it is a big issue nationally yet they have not submitted a recall. The wheel keeps locking up every time I drive it for more than 5 minutes

Driver's side airbag. A car crashed into the driver's side at a 90 degree angle that caused damage starting right behind the driver's door and continued all the way to the rear of the vehicle. The damage was severe enough that the driver's side passenger door, the rear wheel, hub, hub assembly, linkage, lower control arm, and tire, rear fender, the pillar and hingers between the front and rear door, steering gear and linkage. In spite the of violence of the accident, none of the airbags deployed, especially the driver's side airbag which allowed the driver's head to contact the driver's door window.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds over a bumpy road, the vehicle made an abnormal clunking sound. The contact stated that the sound became louder over time. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed. The dealer determined that the front lower control arms and the front suspension sway bar links needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

I am on my 2nd transmission, 2 torque converters, have had the transmission fluid flushed 4 -6 times, and it still shudders horribly bad and only has 136,000 miles. I bought it brand new, never been wrecked or abused. I cant get extended warranties because it is a known issue and they dont want to cover it. This needs to be a recall.

Vehicle: 2019 Chevrolet Traverse Issue: “Shift to Park” warning – vehicle fails to recognize it is in Park I am filing a complaint regarding a persistent &dangerous defect with my 2019 Chevrolet Traverse involving the “Shift to Park” warning system. For the past several years, my vehicle has repeatedly failed to recognize that it is in Park, even when it clearly is. This issue has escalated into a serious safety and reliability concern. Most recently, I was stranded in a store parking lot for over two hours because my vehicle would not properly shut off or restart due to the false “Shift to Park” warning. I had to call someone to disconnect the battery to prevent it from draining completely, which caused additional cost and inconvenience. After reconnecting the battery, the vehicle still would not start for another 2hours. This defect leaves me at risk of being stranded at any time, including in unsafe or isolated. As a single parent of 4 young children, this creates a significant safety concern for my family. This problem has been ongoing since Oct 2023 and has occurred repeatedly since then, and consistently every month since then, often four or more times per month. I have brought this issue to a Chevrolet dealership, Reed-Lallier Chevrolet in Fayetteville, NC, multiple times. Despite being charged diagnostic fees, no permanent fix has been provided. This is a known issue with this vehicle model related to a faulty shifter assembly or park detection system. This defect impacts the vehicle’s ability to shut off, restart, & function reliably, creating a serious safety hazard. I am requesting that this issue be formally investigated & that appropriate action be taken to require a recall or manufacturer-covered repair. This problem is widespread among similar vehicles & should not continue to leave drivers stranded or at risk. Mileage: 44,410 miles Dates of occurrences: Oct 2023-present Dealer contacted: Reed-Lallier Chevrolet on Raeford rd Fayetteville NC

Safety restraint system is on the screen and the airbag icon is on the dash. All of a sudden No accident occurred

I keep having emission problems. The first time I took it to the dealership they fixed then it messed up again had that fixed about three months later check engine light was on again same thing had it fixed for the third time check engine light went off and of course came back home had to fix it again it’s off for now. I’m just waiting for it to pop back on. Second problem that I’ve been having is the fuel pressure sensor changed it light went off now it’s back on. They say change the fuel pump just to see. Did that check engine light back on? When is the check engine light gonna go off another problem that I’ve been having shift to park that pops up every so often at this point, I do not recommend Chevy traverses too many problems and nobody fixing them

Faulty sensor in the shifter assembly. This prevents the car from turning off and displays an error message “Shift To Park” This issue is recalled on models 2020 and newer but not 2019 which is an oversight and should be.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the gear shifter failed to shift into park. The gear shifter was shifted back and forth for approximately 20 to 30 minutes before eventually shifting into park(P) as intended. The shift to park(P) warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

"Shift to Park" alarm continues to appear when the car is in park. At times it does not clear for 10 minutes or so. On a couple of occasions I could not get it to go away for 30 minutes. This is an issue that drains the battery and have caused me to remain in the car to start and restart the vehicle until it is no longer present. Which damages the starter.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while attempting to turn off the vehicle, the Auto START/STOP system failed to turn off as intended. The contact stated that the engine was running. The message "STAND/PARK" was displayed on the instrument panel, and the warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed. The contact was unaware of the diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a claim was filed. The failure mileage was unknown.

Recall number N192211320 ( Left Front Lower Control Arm Ball Joint Not Seated ) Chevrolet is refusing to fix this issue, saying that it's not a safety recall. This issue can effect the steering control and its very evident thats its a safety issue. They're saying this recall expires with the base warranty. This is a clear attempt to circumvent the law, by not classifying this as a safety issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving from a complete stop, the vehicle hesitated, jerked, and failed to respond on some occasions, requiring the vehicle to be turned off and restarted. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked significantly and almost stalled while depressing the accelerator pedal. The check engine warning light was intermittently illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle had failed to respond upon shifting to reverse(R). The vehicle was taken to O'Reilly’s Auto Parts; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact was informed that the diagnostic test confirmed that the vehicle was in drive(D), even though the gear shifter was in reverse(R). The dealer was notified of the failure and recommended a diagnostic test. The vehicle was taken to Kenny Wilson Transmission, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the transmission throttle had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the part was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 158,000.

When putting the vehicle in park the “shift to park” indicator comes on the dash. The vehicle has already been placed in park and will not move. This has happened multiple times over the last 3-4 years.

Complete transmission failure while driving approximately 60 MPH. Transmission started shifting irregularly while driving at a steady speed on a 55 MPH paved county road and locked into 3rd gear slowing me down quite suddenly. I turned on my emergency flashers and pulled into a parking lot. If traffic had been heavy I could easily have been hit from behind for unexpected deceleration with no brakes applied and no brake lights to warn a following vehicle. There were no dash warning on even after stopping. The vehicle has 111,000 miles on it and has been used to tow loads rarely, and the loads were far below the 5000 lb rating of the vehicle. Because it is well past the 75,000 mile power-train warranty (I bought it used) I am having to pay nearly $9,000 for a remanufactured transmission replacement at my local dealership. This is a major financial burden to me for a repair something that should last well beyond 200,000 miles as transmission typically do. I have owned several vehicles that have.

MY CAR WAS ACTING LIKE IT HAD BAD GAS. I TOOK TO T HE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT FOR DAYS AND SAID TRANSMISSION. I AM AT 45,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. THEY HAD MY CAR IN LAST MONTH AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT OR SO THEY SAID. YOU DID SAY THERE WAS A RECALL/PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 2017 2018 AND 2019 TRAVERSE. IS MINE COVERED TO BE FIXED?

When placing the vehicle in park, whether it’s on a flat surface or an incline, the SHIFT TO PARK notification displays. In addition, the nonfiction chime rings consistently until the gear shift is realigned or until it stops on its own. During this ringing period the headlights won’t go off and the ringing last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. The longest time recorded was 20 minutes. Once the ringing finalizes, there is still a possibility that the start/stop button has to be pressed manually so the headlights will completely turn off.

. That’s not even an effect. I need someone to contact me. My email is [XXX] . My phone number is [XXX] . I would like to put in a claim. There is no way that this transmission should have went out on me now I can’t afford to pay for It. I need your help please thank you [XXX] .

I had to replace my 2019 traverse transmission around 105,000 miles but had a shuddering when slowly accelerating or driving since around 70,000 miles. Possibly a programming issue with the transmission control module?? Because after replacing transmission the shuddering still happened and I had to reprogram the transmission control module again and then the shuddering is 95% gone. Also , shift to park alert is a big issue too. If you put the car in park sometimes you have to maneuver the shift knob and tap it to make the “park to shift” go away so I can lock my car.

To the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, I am submitting this letter as a **formal safety complaint** regarding repeated transmission failure in my **2019 Chevrolet Traverse**, which poses a potential risk to vehicle safety. In **December 2024**, while the vehicle was still covered under General Motors’ factory powertrain warranty, an authorized GM dealership diagnosed a serious transmission defect. Due to parts being on national backorder, the repair was delayed. When the repair was eventually performed, only partial components (torque converter and valve body) were replaced rather than the full transmission. Despite this repair, the transmission **failed again less than one year later**. In **November 2025**, a second authorized GM dealership confirmed that the transmission now requires **full replacement** and that the prior repair did not correct the underlying defect. The transmission failure has resulted in **slipping, hesitation, and loss of proper power delivery**, which creates a **potential safety hazard**, particularly during acceleration, merging, and highway driving. A loss of propulsion or delayed response in traffic significantly increases the risk of an accident. This issue was identified while the vehicle was under warranty and was not properly resolved. The repeat failure suggests a **systemic defect** rather than normal wear. General Motors has declined further assistance. I am requesting that NHTSA review this complaint as part of its monitoring of potential **powertrain defects** affecting vehicle safety.

Additionally, the contact stated that upon coming to a stop, the vehicle jolted back and forth. The contact stated that upon shifting to reverse(R), the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that upon shifting to drive(D), the vehicle jerked while responding. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the contact was advised that there was an oil leak, but the source of the leak was undetermined. Additionally, the mechanic informed the contact that the failure was related to the transmission. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that there would be a charge for the transmission disassembly and replacement. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V668000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the vehicle was jerking forward while depressing the brake pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the pedal depressed to the floorboard. The contact also stated that the "Service Stabili-trak" warning light was recently illuminated on the instrument panel. The dealer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the VIN. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred the contact back to the dealer for assistance. The contact was informed that the warranty on the vehicle had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

I noticed that there was oil on the bottom of the transmission. I took it to a mechanic and he said that it was the rear crankshaft oil seal. He replaced it and a month later, it seems to be doing it again. I have instances where it will be in drive and I will hit the gas but it doesn't go anywhere.

Timing cover / valve covers...had to drop the engine...5K for 100,000 miles. Other 2019 Traverse have had issues for recall but not my VIN. If some VIN numbers have been recalled, then all VIN numbers with the same issue should be covered

I purchased a 2019 Chevy Traverse brand new off the lot as single owner and kept up with maintenance. The transmission just went out while I was on the highway and abruptly begin reducing speed and I was unable to accelerate. This was dangerous as no warning lights came on prior to this happening to warn that there were any engine issues. This could have caused an accident on the highway due to me not having control to accelerate and vehicle de-accelerated without warning. Also the passenger seat belt stop working and would not click. There was a Shift to Park warning that kept coming up on the car about 1.5 years ago that should be a recall as the car would not go off when turned off. The radio and lights in the vehicle would continue to run while the engine was off. I am concerned about all of the issue with this car that makes me question the quality and build of this vehicle. The first 4 years this vehicle was great and then all of a sudden it begin to breakdown in parts. The dealership confirmed all of these things and I asked if warranties were on these items and it was not.

When accelerating car shuddered between 15- 30mph and then sometimes between 40 and 55mph. Also, issues with vehicle alert "shift to park" when vehicle is in park.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH on the highway, the contact heard a rattling sound coming from the exhaust system. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the front exhaust pipe needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure via email and letter. The approximate failure mileage was 116,719.

Transmission went out does not move at all with only 49,000 miles on the car the car always had sifting problems. Brought the car brand new off the lot. One owner. Before the Transmission went out when I will stop at the red lights or stop signs the car would just take off for no reason. With my foot still on the brakes or the car would just stall when I am driving it right in the middle of traffic. GMC needs to held accountable before some one gets killed.

After fueling car the starting continue turning over after you release button. Now while drivering it hesitate sometime loose power steering. And when stopped and the car dies when it does it’s stop /start now there a delay in continuing on and now brake light come on when it start back. Sometimes lose power and if you disconnect cable to let car reset light goes off until the start/stop and repeats process with park light back on ect.

Shift to park notice. For several months the shifter has had issues going into park. The shifter is in the park position but isnt reading. I know a few other people with similar Traverse models in my area having the same issue. Im also aware that some models of GM SUV have already recalled this part. After having to wait over 5 minutes multiple times for the car to recognize that its in the park position I decided to get this replaced. This is an issue I believe a recall should be noticed and I should be reimbursed for the parts and labor of this

Shift to park error, car will not go into park. A well known GM issue that apparently has yet to be recalled.

When I shift the car to park and press button to turn car off, I am alerted "Shift to Park". The shift lever or gear control is not recognizing that I have already put the car in park. I have to repeatedly push on the gear shifter until the alert clears and the car engages in park. This issue happens quite often and is an inconvenience.

Continue to get a shift to park error when car is in park, not allowing me to turn off and creating an unsafe situation.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that upon shifting to park(P) and attempting to turn off the vehicle, an alarm sounded and the message "Shift to Park" was displayed. The contact stated that upon shifting out of park(P) and shifting back to park(P) several times, the vehicle responded as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact was informed that the vehicle could only be diagnosed if the vehicle was taken to the dealer while experiencing the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,300.

I was in an accident in my 2019 Chevy Traverse on September 4, 2025. Upon impact, my airbags did not deploy. I was pulling out from and intersection and a car with no lights on was coming from the right of me going towards the left of me. I ended up hitting his car on the driver' side and rear door. His side airbags went off. I was wearing my seatbelt. My body was thrown forward and hit the steering wheel. The airbag did not go off upon impact. I have a broken sternum, bruised ribs and bruises across my left shoulder due to the seatbelt. I ended up in the hospital overnight for observation. They were worried about my heart and lungs since they were jarred forward when I hit the steering wheel. Now my insurance company wants to total my car. They also want me to get a different title (salvage title) if I have the car fixed, which in turn with make it hard for me to sell it and keep insurance on it. I want to know what will be done about this. If I get the car fixed, will it happen again? Looking for answers. I feel that I would have been just fine if my airbag had went off. Now I am looking at 6-8 weeks of painful recovery.

We bought a 2019 Chevy Traverse High Country in 2018. Oct 2021-Jan 2022 Chevy held the car to put a new transmission in, at no cost to us, with no explanation, no paperwork. Now we are in September 2025 and the car needs another transmission. In Oct 2021 I was accelerating through an intersection and the car stopped in the middle of the intersection, it was TERRIFYING. Luckily people around me realized the situation and help me get the car to safety. I had my two children in the car under 3. Fast forward to Sept 2025, I am merging on the highway accelerating and my car is SLOWING DOWN. I had the car towed to a dealership and the transmission has gone into self protect mode, identifying a gear shift problem between gears 3-4. Three transmissions in a car from end 2018-sept 2025.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle and shifting to reverse(R), the vehicle made an abnormal, loud clunking sound. The contact stated that while driving at 15 MPH, the vehicle failed to shift out of first gear, and the engine was revving. The vehicle was towed to T&T Automotive, where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. Additionally, the contact stated that upon shifting to park(P) and attempting to turn off the vehicle, the message "Shift to Park" was displayed. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic, where the failure was related to an unknown TSB. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 111,000.

The "shift to park" alert keeps coming on even when car is in park gear. One has to either put car in reverse and then shift slowly to park more than a few times for it to finally recognize it is in park. Otherwise, one cannot turn car off and brake stiffens and hard to turn car on again. This is frustrating and poses a hazard. This has been ongoing for months.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at 20 MPH at an intersection, she failed to see the approaching vehicle that was driving 40 MPH and T-boned that vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. During the impact, the contact's wife's chest area collided with the steering wheel. The other vehicle did have all the air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The contact’s wife sustained abdominal, right knee, and chest pain, as well as a headache, and was treated in the hospital. The vehicle was towed to the tow yard. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

Vehicle: 2019 Chevrolet Traverse High Country Mileage at Failure: ~68,897 miles Problem: Rear auxiliary evaporator leaked refrigerant, causing the A/C to blow warm and fail. Safety Concerns: Loss of cooling performance in high summer temperatures → potential heat stress risk for passengers, especially children and medically vulnerable occupants. Refrigerant leaking inside the vehicle → potential inhalation exposure for occupants. Diagnosis: Dealer confirmed refrigerant leak from rear evaporator; repair cost $1,763.05. GM Awareness: GM has published TSB 16-NA-046 and PIT5335A describing this exact failure mode (evaporator corrosion from blower motor copper dust), but has not issued a recall or extended coverage.

Broken catalytic converter at joint with exhaust pipe. Manufacturer defect with the exhaust piping.

My 2019 Traverse has approximately 27k miles. I have taken the car in to a Chevy dealership for repair. The car is shuddering at around 20 mph. The dealer told me this is a common issue and after review of hundreds of complaints it appears it is. It is out of warranty by a year. Apparently the issue is likely the torque converter. However GM, requires I do a transmission flush and reprogram followed by driving 500 miles. If it does not work then I have to replace the torque converter. The transmission flush is $980 dollars and a torque converter is quoted at $3,400. If this is a known issue and no fault of the driver it should be covered by GM. Why would I pay 1,000 dollars to then pay another 3,400 for a total of $4,400 dollars for a repair for a car with 27k miles. I feel like this should be a recall based on the number of complaints and cost to buyer. This seems ridiculous. I have agreed that the initial 980 dollars as I have no choice. I am requesting someone look into the GM transmission issues from the 2017 to 2020 year vehicles.

Shift to park

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that upon arriving at his destination and moving the column shift lever into park(P), the message "Please Shift to Park" was displayed. After several attempts and turning the vehicle on and off, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 121,000.

I have been experiencing an intermittent issue where the vehicle displays a “Shift to Park” message, even though the gear shift lever is clearly in the Park position. When this happens, the vehicle will not fully shut off, and I have to repeatedly move the shifter back and forth or restart the vehicle to clear the message. This issue began around January 2024, and it has become more frequent over time. I understand that this is a known defect in GM vehicles, and that GM issued Technical Service Bulletin #19-NA-206 to address it. According to the TSB and owner reports, this problem is caused by a faulty park switch or microswitch inside the shifter assembly, and the solution involves installing a jumper harness and/or replacing the shift control assembly. This is both a functional and safety concern, as the vehicle may not recognize it's in Park and could potentially result in a failure to turn off or secure properly. I’m requesting that General Motors or an authorized dealer perform the recommended repair per TSB #19-NA-206 at no cost, as this is a widely reported manufacturing defect. Please advise how this issue can be resolved as soon as possible. I am attempting at uploading a photo and a video. The system does not allow videos and it is rejecting the photo.

the exhaust bracket broke 3 times had it repaired at my own expense each time. my muffler broke off at the weld. my exhaust cracked. then my catalytic converter broke off.

When I park, the shift to park warning comes on and the vehicle will not shut down.

Exhaust pipe leak and break that caused a crack in the catalytic converter.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the message “Shift to Park” was displayed while the gear shifter was in park(P). The contact moved the gear shifter in and out of Park(P) several times until the vehicle registered that it was in park(P). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the transmission shifter assembly and jumper harness were replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a vehicle safety complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 19,900.

Shift to park issue the car is in park but when I shut the car off it is telling me shift to part on my dash not allowing me to shut my car off all the way at first I was able to just tap the shifter and that worked after a few weeks I had to keep restarting my car and try to get the shift to park to go away and for the car to shut off all the way. I finally was able to get it into the dealership where I showed them a photo on my phone what it was doing the said even with the picture they would still have to running a diagnostics on it charging me $160 for along with the repair I feel they know the issue we should not have to pay for diagnostics test

Shift to park and warming beep saying vehicle not in park also a bad smell coming from vents when start the engine makes me dizzy and also paid over $600 for repairs to AC still not fix Freon leaks .

On [XXX], my 2019 Chevrolet Traverse (VIN [XXX] ) experienced a complete transmission failure. The vehicle began to hesitate, jerk during acceleration, and then completely lost the ability to shift or drive. It had to be towed, and the dealership confirmed that the transmission must be replaced. This is extremely concerning because GM previously issued Recall 20V668000 involving missing bolts in the start-stop accumulator of the transmission, which can cause fluid leaks and loss of propulsion—a potential safety hazard. Although my VIN does not show this recall as active, the symptoms and failure seem directly related to this known defect. I am requesting NHTSA investigate whether this recall should be expanded or reopened to include more affected vehicles. In addition to the transmission failure, I have had to replace the purge solenoid valve three times due to persistent check engine lights and fuel system issues, which suggests deeper reliability issues with emissions and vapor management. Lastly, there is now a hole in the exhaust pipe, which is affecting performance and may pose a safety or environmental concern due to potential carbon monoxide exposure. These multiple powertrain and emissions-related failures within the same vehicle raise serious concerns about the long-term safety, reliability, and manufacturing quality of the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this model year and VIN range further. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My shift to park didn’t stop alarming and drained my battery so badly that I was stranded for 4.5hrs and I had to replace it and the alternator!

Upon shifting to park, an error message prompts us to "shift to park". The shifter is in park position, however the vehicle says it is not. The Chevy dealer recreated the issue and advised to repair because it will lead to not being able to turn off the engine, or not being able to start the engine, or it will drain the battery. Any of the above could lead to a safety issue depending on where the failure could occur. I had the veicle repaired at the expense of $501.29.

Intermittent warning “shift to park”. Vehicle doesn’t shut off. It’s in park. Luckily it has a feature that shuts the car off after some time. I have to use the key fob to lock the doors. Began march of 2024 and is still occurring. Known GM issue. It sure why no recall

Chevy traverse 2019 second time tried breaking down on the highway. First incident engine light came on. The vehicle slowed down and would shake pushing on the gas pedal. The moment the car arrived at the destination is stop working. Second incident it stop on the highway and would go on drive or reverse. Had to stop the car and turn it back on while on the freeway. The car drove for 1 hour then when the car stop at the stop light it had a hard time driving had to push all the way just to get it drive slow. It had a hard time moving but it tried. The emission warning would come on but then would disappear. The vehicle never received a recall.

When driving I feel shudder at lower speeds, medium speeds and sometimes faster speeds. Makes feel car motor or transmission can leave me in middle of highway or street compromising my safety. Vehicle can be inspected at any time. The dealer indicated fix was transmission oil change with additives, which I did, which cost 700.00 and the problems is still there. The vehicle has not been inspected by insurance but the dealer has as stated above. I bought vehicle with 46k miles and after about 1.5k it stated happening. Vehicle now has 50k miles. No codes have displayed.

The Shifter Control Assembly keeps malfunctioning 3 times in the last 4 years on our 2019 Chevy Traverse. When my wife puts the shifter in Park and proceeds to shut down the vehicle, the Traverse will not recognizes that she is in park already, and will not let her shut off the vehicle. She must then reverse and forward the care several times until the sensor or solenoid engages and recognizes it is in park. This creates a dangerous and frustrating situaiton. The dealership has confirmed this is an ongoing inssue with the Traverse, and Chevy Customer service also confirmed on the phone that this is a weel known issue and she was not sure why they did not recall or take care of this issue already. Official problem is "Internal Failure to Shifter/Solenoid Assembly". This has caused issues 3 times and our vehicle is not even at 90K miles. This is not a wear ant tear part, but a core functional item that should not go bad repeatedly in such a short period of time on a newer vehicle. Chevy Customer care has encouraged me to file this complaint and get this on record and have the NHTSA begin to work with the manufacturer.

I had 1 air conditioner stop blowing cool air and it was covered on the warranty. In 2023, my AC stopped working again and had to be replaced again. Recently, my AC went out again. All three times it stops blowing cool air. I only have $70k miles on it.

When placing the Traverse in park the car will not shut off and warns that the car is NOT in park while other indicators show that it actually is in park. Confusing and worried that it is not in park and that the car con not be safely shut off. Flipping the shift knob and button numerous times has, so far, finally allowed the car to shut off safely.

Own a 2019 Chevy Traverse that was bought brand new and properly maintained with regular, synthetic only, oil changes.

Torque converter is bad. Codes will not come up when test ran. Mechanics mis diagnose the issue until it’s too late. Mechanic now doesn’t think it’s worth it to replace- wants whole new transmission.

Transmission continually failing. Judders under acceleration. Metal in transmission fluid and leak in transmission

The transmission shutters and malfunctions at various times during driving. This puts not only the driver and passengers at risk but other vehicles and drivers on the road because it’s an abrupt malfunction. At one point it failed In the middle of traffic and we couldn’t move. I have had the issue diagnosed by a transmission shop. They diagnosed it as a failing transmission, which is common. They told us with these nine speed transmissions, and Chevy traverse. They also advised that it the cost is $10-$15,000 to repair. And they say they have a lot of experience with these failing. Which is why we believe it should qualify for a recall. My vehicle is available for inspection at any time. I was told over the phone by a Chevy dealership that that was the likely caused by just hearing the symptoms over the phone because they’ve had experience with so many failures like this. During the failure in traffic my check engine light showed up and there was an error shown but it disappeared when I restarted the vehicle and failed to take Note of what it was.

My 2019 Chevrolet Traverse when putting my car in park to turn off the vehicle. The dashboard is telling me to put my car in park when it is already in park. Then the car doesn’t shut off completely and it kills the battery. The parking assist is a safety issue. If in fact my vehicle isn’t noticing the car is in park then it’s a safety concern. This needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt.

My 2019 Traverse has cut out since I have had it. When you first take off it starts jerking slightly. It has gotten worse over time. It also, gives me a Shift to Park error when the car is in park. I had to have the alternator replaced at 10,000.

This vehicle reports a "Shift to Park" error message when parking the car. The gearshift is in the parked position but the sensor if not responding correctly. The alarm continues to buzz and we are unable to turn the car off and exit the vehicle. We must continue to "wiggle" the gear shift and even drive around the block and try to park again to have this message stop. Very afraid that the car is not recognizing the "parked" position and will move even though we think it is parked. We understand that this has been an issue with Chevrolet since 2017 and no recall has been issued. PLEASE help.

I have a Chevy Traverse. When I shift into park. There is a display that reads " shift to park" It takes a while for that to disappear. It seems like it is getting worst. How can that be fixed?

Check Engine Light Code P0496 evap. Emissions system, high purge flow

Shift to Park message on the dash when attempting to turn the vehicle off (in park). Known issue for GM vehicles and safety issue because you can't turn the vehicle off or lock it and it continues to get progressively worse to the point you can't leave the vehicle, and I am getting worried the vehicle may not actually be in park. This is a known issue that costs around 1000 to fix and should have been corrected when it was discovered years ago to prevent issues with the vehicle.

When I shift into park and try to turn car off, I get a warning message saying shift into park. It takes several retry attempts of up to 1 hour to get car computer to register it is in park. I can't leave car until it stops this for fear of it rolling as this did start rolling once already.

In 2020 or 2021 my car started annoying not recording that is was shifted into park. I got it fixed in Spring, Tx. Recently, my vehicle has started saying it needs to be shifted into park every single time I try to park. This really should be covered under power train warranty. Actually it should be recalled because it is all over the message boards.

Car is constantly getting the shirt to park error message when the car is in park. The car’s lights and other electrical panels on the inside will not shut off because of this issue.

When I shift into park the vehicle is fully stopped and in park, but after I shut the vehicle off it beeps and the dashboard informs me I need to “shift to park”. The vehicle will continue to beep and won’t lock properly until I mess with the shifter enough to get it to register that I’m in park, sometimes taking minutes and multiple restarts. This seems to be a common issue in this vehicle based on a simple Google search, which tells me this is a manufacturer issue and should be recalled. I’m worried the whole shifter is going to malfunction. This is a safety issue and has caused me to almost be late in many instances because I can’t leave my vehicle.

The front passenger seat belt does not work. I dont have anyone in the front passenger seat. When I did the seatbelt did not lock.

Veh continues to display service stabilitrak when coming out of auto stop at a light or stop.

One year ago the check engine light came on. Diagnosis stated EVAP system leak. Replaced a bad purge valve.now almost a year later the engine light comes back on car also started struggling shifting and shift to park would come on when car was already in park. Diagnosis states a large leak in EVAP system, smoke test determined leak was coming from the fuel canister. Canister was replaced and within two trips engine light came back on and car continues to struggle shifting as well as having a rough idle. Another diagnostic test reported bad fuel sensor. 2019 traverse seems to have a lot of EVAP system issues and have been told as well as read that this is a trending issue with this vehicle. With each diagnosis report it states it would fail fuel omission.

On this 3 row SUV, the middle row has a bench seat vs captain seats in some models. In order to let passengers in the 3rd row, you must lean the middle row end seats up. When doing this from the left side of the vehicle, the middle seat in the middle row's seatbelt buckle falls back a little. So then when you lean the seat back after leaning it forward to let passengers in the 3rd row, the buckle gets caught up and over time, internal mechanisms inside the buckle break to where you can not fasten the seatbelt into the buckle any more. This happened while we were in a trip and had no choice but to ride back home with one passenger who didn't have a seatbelt to wear.

Was at dealer before for this and they couldn't find problem. Going in again next week.

Frequently receive warning message “Shift to Park” while the car is already at a complete parked state. You have to engage brake and wiggle the shifter to allow car to shut off. Another issue, the car display comes on and the car alarm beeps regarding the Stabilitrak. This happens on colder days usually below 40 degrees. Dealership wants $200+ to evaluate but states common concern they receive.

Transmission issues Vehicle drives forward when in reverse Vehicle will no go into reverse Vehicle will not drive or go into reverse

The power train on 2019 Chevy Traverses are horrible! There was a recall back in 2023 that caused me to get a replacement transmission. It hasn’t even been a full 2 years and the transmission is out AGAIN! Even with recent safety issues for the emissions purge valve and transmission defects on these cars, NO ONE HAS INITIATED ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE POWER TRAIN SYSTEM. This is frustrating, inconveniencing, and infuriating. I hope GM makes this right!

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to function as intended. The contact stated while making a turn, the vehicle lost motive power and independently restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the failure was not duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer several times due to the failure. The contact stated that on several occasions, the technician identified the failure while test driving the vehicle; however, the cause of the failure was not documented. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

UNKNOWN. Vehicle started shuddering while driving. No accident occurred. I was able to keep it under control.

GM has a TSB # N212356540 for one exhaust pipe. Bracket broken a causes hole in pipe. Weld was bad. Mine was bad on both pipes and only one covered by GM, this led to catalytic converter cracking and flex pipe leaking. I had to pay to have repaired. This second pipe and catalytic converter were not covered

Moisture in the rear driver side taillight ( factory issue involving faulty seal). The moisture shorts out the indicator light, and the entire unit must be replaced.

Periodically over the last 2 weeks my 2019 Chevrolet Traverse AWD has shown the "Shift to Park" message on the display. I took it to my local Chevy dealer about a week ago, after I was in the Walmart parking lot and it happened again. The dealer scheduled an appointment to check the part number yesterday. When I went to leave my car at the dealer's lot on New Year's Day for the scheduled appointment, I couldn't get the vehicle to shut down at all. I tried driving around the building and lot for about 10 minutes and tried to park in different level spots. I finally gave up and left it in a position that I figured they would be able to charge the vehicle, because a warning buzzer goes off as long as the "Shift to Park" message displays. I worried leaving the vehicle in the dealer's lot, not knowing for sure if the car would roll away into their new cars, because it might not be in park. There are numerous similar complaints on your website about the "Shift to Park" problem. Not sure why no one thinks this problem is bad enough for a recall. (Of course, my vehicle is under 36,000 miles, but over the 3 year warranty.) I am a 72 year-old woman and our area is in the midst of a frigid winter storm...not the time that I want to worry about whether my battery has been drained or whether I can safely park my vehicle, when I go to the grocery store.

⁠The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle made a rattling noise. The rattling persisted when idled. No warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a fractured exhaust pipe and a leak on the exhaust. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired as the dealer could not duplicate the noise. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was under a special coverage adjustment number n212356540. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Oil consumption issues

When I push the button to turn off vehicle it dings and says shift to park. I cannot stop it from doing it. One day my vehicle did it for 45 minutes. I could not do anything lock my door anything this is a hazard what if I was out of town and someone tried to steal my car because it would not stop doing this. I see on social media this is happening to a lot of 2019 chevy traverse owners.

defect includes issues with the electronic stability control (ESC) system and the electronic-brake control module (EBCM). These issues can cause the driveline protection system to activate unexpectedly. when i initiate gas after a stop the "stabilitrak" alarms and sometimes emergency brake initiates. it is available for inspection upon request. your safety is at risk from alarm sounding repeatedly at recurring stops. you also sometimes have to release the emergency brake or parking brake as it is initiated unexpectedly. this happens at a stop to start or accelerate but while you are actively driving. the dealer cannot reproduce they tell the customer. inspected by dealer. stabilitrak error messages on dash when it occurs. this first appeared a year ago roughly 12.16.2023. it happens mostly when the outside temperature is cold like below 50 degrees.

Once shifting the car in park the car won’t shut off. It keeps stating “Shift to Park” the car has already been shifted to park. I have to shift my car over and over again to get it to cut off. Also when driving it keeps stating something about the track system.

I took my truck to the dealer back in 2022 for the specific reasons that the truck is being recalled now but my vehicle doesn’t qualify for the recalls. My vehicle has been having the same issues as the 2019 Chevy traverse recalls and I just saw that my truck is also leaking transmission oil which is linked to the 2019 recall but my truck doesn’t qualify. It started smelling like it was burning during the freeway drive today and when I got home, I noticed the oil leak I drive around 15 to 20 miles a day driving six children in my truck for safety and my truck is no longer safe to drive. I want to know why when I took my car in 2022 for the specific issues. They told me that it was pretty much all in my head that my truck was running fine and now I come to find out there are these recalls in effect, but my truck doesn’t qualify when the check engine light is on in my car for the specific reasons. I did contact the dealer where I took my truck in 2022 and they do have the paperwork to prove that I took my car and they told me someone would call me back to see what was going on. This was four days ago and nothing has happened and they also didn’t email me the paperwork like they told me they would.

I have had to replace my evaporative emissions purge valve 3 times on this my 2019 Chevy Traverse. I have had it for a year and a half.

Shift to park message will not go away.

1)Both rear TOW LINKS were found to fail state inspection and were replaced. The vehicle only has 22,000 miles on it Dealer said this a common issue with this model vehicle (2019 Chevy Traverse). 2) Shift to Park. Vehicle displays this error message and does not allow the vehicle to completely shut down, aux mode, which the radio stays on and doors will not lock. Have to start and shut off vehicle until the “Shift to Park” error message goes away. Dealer said wiring harness is on back order snd could not be repaired until parts are available. Dealer charged $178.00 for diagnostics and agreed there is an open and intermittent circuit causing this issue.

While on a vacation across the nation out Torque converter went out around 100k miles. Hard shifting allowed speeds or accelerating and changing gears 1-3. When serviced terrible experience 3 weeks, and it had 102k and warranty ended.

The shift to park constantly appears when you go to park the vehicle only to be resolved with shaking the stick and clicking the button to get it to park fully. Additionally this car has had to have the alternator replaced after only 4 years of having it which I find to be ridiculous and have heard many other customers have had the same issue of it failing early on I think there must be something deeper to that.

When shifting into park I get a message on my dash to shift into park and the car will not shutoff. I have to jiggle the shifter knob a few times for it to shutoff again and again. It's a real problem and should have a recall on it.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while stopped at red lights and stop signs on several occasions, the vehicle began jerking. Additionally, when the vehicle was in park (P), a "shift to park message" appeared. The contact stated the gear shift had to be forcibly moved to the park (P) position for the gear to register. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,100.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while shifted to park(P), the vehicle failed to turn off with an error message displayed "Shift to Park" on the instrument panel. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the cost. The vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic for a second opinion where it was determined that the transmission control module and shifter harness needed to be replaced. Additionally, an inline shifter wiring harness jumper needed to be added. The contact was advised by the independent mechanic that the failure could be related to TSB: 19-NA-206; however, the vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

When putting car in park, it continues to show a shift to park error message and will not power down all the way. I have to restart the car and shift in and out of park several times before the car will shut off. Often times when stopping at lights/stop signs the car will shift super hard and jerk into gear when trying to start moving again. This occasionally happens when it should be shifting going up hills as well.

When shifting to Park error, the car will not turn off and on. This should be a recall! It affects many models and is well documented. They start with the sensor and eventually replace the whole transmission to try to fix the issue. This should not be on the customer! This is a Defect!

Shift to park message when turning car off.

When trying to shut off vehicle, the car says “ Shift to park” Even though the car is already in park and battery won’t shut down.

Shift to park message

I go to shift my vehicle into park and it stays on. I have to hit it for it to turn off. After two weeks of this it gets a little tiring. Help

First time occurrence , while driving on highway when all of a sudden the vehicle begin to forcefully jerk then immediately after we heard loud thump. The “D” gear that’s seen in dash begin to flash and the car lost acceleration. Took truck to Chevy dealer, obviously not repaired. Second occurrence, driving on highway and all of a sudden again, the vehicle jerks, the “D” gear seen in dash begin to blink and truck lost acceleration. Warning lights appear at random times include park brake, then says park brake release, power steering reduced message, check engine light illuminates. We had to park the truck and pay for a rental car, as we didn’t feel safe to drive for 6 hours to our planned family vacation in Orlando. For this to happen and then happen again after extensive work at the Chevy dealer definitely put my family and I at severe risk each times because the car would not move while on a busy highway, dangerous to say the least. We have multiple service records and mentioned the initial occurrence that we thought was fixed but apparently there is a major issue . Disappointing that I don’t feel safe putting myself or my children in my own truck, for the fear of it happening again. Please help!

After putting the vehicle in park a error message appears indicating vehicle is not in park and the gear shift must be wiggled back and forth to remove the message.

RTV gasket on engine get worn out at 60,000miles and causes small oil leak and gets worst over time.

I have repeatedly had to deal with the shift to park sensor not allowing me to shut my vehicle off. I am clearly in park but the alert of “shift to park” begins when I try to power my traverse off. It is coming particularly worse and at times will not allow my to power off.

When my 2019 Traverse High Country is put in park it displays a "Shift To Park" message and a ringing in the vehicle. Have tried to restart the car, shift into gear and back into park to get issue to stop but takes minutes to get car to finally go into park and able to get out and lock.

I am getting a shift to park message while 2019 Cheverolet Traverse is in park. I am receiving a message when the vehicle has been shifted to park. I disengage the park brake, back up and come forward again, and the message continue to appear. I have to repeatedly wiggle or bang against the shifter for an extended period of time until the alert message turns off. This is forcing me to remain in a hot vehicle with my young children in the car in 100 degree temperatures, until I am able to successfully power down my vehicle. This is a safety risk for all.

Recall N212356540 does not include the second flex pipe and gasket. I have spoken with several owners & dealerships who state this pipe is bad as well. My personal vehicle has a hole in the 2nd flex pipe that's not covered by the recall. The fumes inside the vehicle are suffocating.

Shift to park alert comes on every time I put my car in park. Vehicle has no issues.

When car is shifted into park and then push to start/stop is pressed to turn off car “ shift to park” appears and shift must be wiggled for message to go away. Problem has just started in the last month (May 2024).

When in park, "Shift to Park" continues to alert causing trouble turning off the engine. I've read this is common among the 2019 Traverse and many have been recalled, but my specific VIN has not. Can you help so I can get this fixed?

Open service Bulletin No.: 19-NA-206 for Gm cars where gear shift connector/harness doesnt engage and car believes its not parked. Car has tried to roll away due to this. GM sent out alert but wont pay to replace unless under warranty. Bulletin states this is for multiple models from 2016-2019.

Shift to park issue. Vehicle again has shift to park issue after it was already been repaired. Causing vehicle to be stranded or not being able to be shut off.

My car stalled on a four lane highway due to the alternator dying. I was able to pull over but was almost rear ended. I only had 40,000 miles on car at the time. I replaced the alternator with a factory direct from Chevy on 3/16/2022. On May 5, 2024, my car again stalled out due to alternator. At that time I was on another busy highway but had enough time to pull over. I had to have someone pick up my children and follow me home. I was terrified it would stall again and I would cause an accident.

When you put the car in park and turn off the car, it will often give you a warning to “put the car in park,” beeping incessantly. Not every time, but often enough that it is annoying. The beeping can range from a few seconds to 10 minutes. If you get out of the car, if will keep beeping until you return. This is clearly a defect, and one that is common with GM cars around that time, according to Google and to mechanics. I asked my dealer about it, and the only way to fix it is to replace the gear shaft. Cost is at least $800. Seems excessive for something that is a known defect. I did not pay to fix.

Vehicle when placed in reverse and then shift to Park states vehicle is NOT in Park when it actually is. I looked up this problem and there are numerous people reporting the same issue with 2018-2023 Chevy traverse.

Traverse Check Engine light came on and vehicle sounded louder than usual w/ additional rattle. Upon inspection passenger side bracket holding two exhaust pipes together was broken at the weld. Took to Superior Chevrolet (dealer) 4/5/24 who stated right side pipe and bracket were not covered under Special Coverage Adjustment Front Exhaust Pipe N212356540 and only left side is covered despite the bracket being attached to both pipes. Awaiting part to complete repair at dealership. Advised by dealership vehicle is okay to drive until parts arrive and repair can be completed. 4/14/24 driving on I40 heard large bang from underneath vehicle, looked in rearview mirror to see the remaining portion of the bracket fly out from under vehicle and almost hit the car's windshield behind me, they had to swerve in heavy traffic to avoid having it go through their windshield. Vehicle immediately sounds like a motorcycle with no baffles, loud in the cabin and smelling of exhaust. Once stopped, climbed under vehicle to see that the complete bracket was missing from both pipes and a gaping hole in the drivers side front exhaust pipe. Bracket could have killed someone or caused a major accident while airborne on the Highway and cabin smells of exhaust.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH and various other speeds, the vehicle jerked and shuddered. The contact stated that the failure occurred increasingly while driving and turning. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the transmission fluid was replaced by both herself and her husband; however, the failure persisted. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

After car is parked and turned off, a message comes on "shift to park" and I'm unable to get out and lock the car.

My car has 61,000 miles. I've been noticing that the rear suspension seems off. During a dealership oil change, they told me my rear adjustment links were loose. I took it to a Tuffy auto service place for a 2nd opinion (looking for cheaper cost) and they said it was actually my rear toe links. They said it was very surprising that they would be bad already. I agree. It's a 2019 and shouldn't be having these issues. I've noticed other Chevy's have been recalled for the same thing and I'm wondering if it's wider spread.

Shuttering 9 speed transmission at low speeds and stop and go traffic. Whining noise when accelerating

Dashboard alerts “Shift to Park” after the car is turned off. Car is in park. Contacted dealer and it $480.00 to repair and apparently not covered by the GM Bumper to Bumper extended warranty protection plan. A recall was issued for the same issue on the 2018 traverse but not issued for the 2019. This is ridiculous and GM needs to issue a recall for this issue for the 2019 model.

Transmission oil leak

I keep getting a shift to park, even though I am in park.I’m not able to turn off my car. I have read this a big issue with 2019 Traverse, why is there no recall showing as it can mess up the transmission?

WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK I GET A BEEPING SOUND AND A MESSAGE THAT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK, WHICH I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES. THIS MORNING 21 MARCH 2024 MY VEHICLE KEPT GIVING ME THAT MESSAGE. IT WAS LIKE MY CAR WAS STILL ON. I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING MY CAR AND PUT IT IN PARK FOR IT TO STOP. i HAVE COMPLAINED ON HERE BEFORE. THERE ARE OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

The torque converter in the transmission has failed it has currently been sitting at the dealership for 3 months do to supply chain issues. The dealership has confirmed the problem along with my auto insurance company as well. Prior too there was smoke with a bad odor coming out of the vents in the vehicle that could have caused me and my kids health issues dealing with breathing had we continued to drive the vehicle. There was no lights to indicate what the issue was. Only the fumes. The fumes came out from what the dealership stated was because of the clutch burning in the torque converter. This is a major issue that could kill someone if they inhaled to much of the fumes.

My car is displaying the “shift to park” message in the dashboard.

There is a recall on other 2019 traverse, but not mine, for the message shift to park. This is what my car is doing now. It will not shut the car off and it has a potential to roll while in park because the car reads that it is not in park. I'm not sure why my car is not included. It is doing the exact same thing as what has been recalled on other 2019 Chevy traverse. I was told by dealership not to drive it because it could roll while in park. It has something to do with the brake switch. The contact is hoping to get her vehicle covered under the recall.

When the vehicle was turned off, a message appeared: Shift To Park. The red light on Park also remained on. I had to shut down the vehicle multiple times before the message disappeared. One time I just "jiggled" the shifter and the messaged disappeared. The message did not appear whenever I turned off the vehicle, only sometimes. However, it appeared more often than not. It did appear when the service representative at the dealer moved the vehicle and turned it off. The remedy was to replace an SL-N-Switch (04054-CT) and a N-Harness (02480-CT). The cost to remove the shifter and installed these parts was $360.26. The service representative advised me that this problem could run down the battery. It is a safety issue since the battery could run down if the car was exited and the message stayed on. I found a technical bulletin from GM ([XXX], September 2019, entitled "Intermittent Shift To Park Message Displayed While Vehicle in Park for a 2018 Traverse and another technical bulletin with the same reference for May, 2021. I believe that the 2019 and 2018 Traverse share the same drive train. I also found a forum online: [XXX] that describes what other customers have found with their vehicles. More sites: [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This vehicle just recently failed inspection for the right rear toe link. I spoke with the dealers service department who stated that this is a known issue with this model but that there is not a current recall. From my research on Chevrolet forums, this is a very frequent issue. This is a very dangerous issue, and owners are being forced to pay for this known issue out of pocket. It is apparent that this is a manufacturing defect that should be recalled by Chevrolet.

My Traverse intermittently displays 'shift to park' message and I was not able to shut the SUV all the way off. I would have to play with the shift gear in order for it to turn off. I am under 50k miles.

At 37368 miles my 2019 Traverse had a message Shift to Park. This message does not throw a code so there is no record of the message. When the Shift to Park happened, the car has a beeping sound and even though the car is showing on the shift control it is in park, the car appears to believe it isn't. The dealership repair was to replace the switch in the shift control and added the jumper harness. The cost was covered under warranty. The problem stopped. Now at 69424 miles the Shift to Park message came back on again. When I put the car in park it appears to be in park but the car is beeping reminding me to shift it to park. I started the car, put the car into Drive with the car running, put my foot on the brake and then the red parking brake light came on the dash. The car would not move forward although it was in drive and I had never put the parking brake on. I immediately put the car back in park, leaving it running I pulled the parking brake up and down on the console it did remove the parking brake red command from the dash. I put the car back in drive and it did move forward so I could pull it in garage. The next day I took the car to the dealership. The car did not show the Shift to Park message at the dealership and the mechanic could not get the car to give him the Shift to Park message (even though the day before it was consistently giving me the message on the dash including the red parking brake light.) The dealership replaced the switch harness in the transmission shift control. The replacement part is the same that was installed at 37368 miles. This part is a Genuine GM Part since I have the box and the old switch that I requested. I had to pay $209.91 for the repair that I thought was taken care of at 37368 miles. I checked and there was no recall for this vehicle regarding this issue. I drove the vehicle today 2/1/24 and no issues.

My vehicle is displaying Shift to Park, which does not allow me to turn off the vehicle.

The vehicle is equipped with auto stop technology that the driver can’t disable. While driving, the system is designed to initiate auto stop when vehicle comes to a stop. When my foot lifts off the brake to proceed, the engine kicks back in and vehicle moves forward. Two weeks ago at a stop, the engine did not kick back in. I had to put the car in park at the light and after several attempts to push the ignition button, the engine finally kicked back on. The vehicle had the same issue later that day so I scheduled with the dealer for 4 days out. No warning lights came on. My onstar app did not produce any error notice. Meanwhile, I saw a video to override auto stop, put vehicle in low gear 6. That’s what I did to get through to appointment. By day 3 (dealer is day 4), I returned to vehicle after an hour meeting and it didn’t start at all. The check engine light turned on, NOT the battery light. Had vehicle towed to dealer who said the only alert was a bad battery. (Battery is 16 mo with 36 mo warranty & alternator 5 mo old). I replaced the battery. Picked up vehicle from dealer and 5 miles away at a stop, vehicle shut off. I put vehicle in park, pushed ignition button and engine turned back on. I thought it was a fluke. 6 days later the vehicle turned off at stops on four separate occasions. Each time the battery was fully charged. On one last instance at an intersection stop, the vehicle shut off, would not restart when I pushed the ignition button, brake pedal became stiff, and dash lights and radio were completely off, as if the battery died. I let the vehicle sit at the intersection for 30 seconds before trying the ignition button, and it finally fired up. To get home, I put it in neutral at each stop to keep it from going into auto stop. This issue is not generating an “error” on the computer so dealer techs have no idea what to do. When I bypass auto stop by shifting to neutral at stops or driving in L6, there is no issue whatsoever with the vehicle.

I shift my car to park and turn off my vehicle and it keeps giving me an alert of “shift to park.”

When shifting into park, the vehicle does not recognize the shifter has been moved to the "park" setting. An alert will sound stating the vehicle must be shifted into park position. We then have to shift out of park and back into park...sometimes multiple times, before the vehicle recognizes that the shifter is in the Park position.

Has “Shift to Park” issue and will keep electronics on, killing the battery. Other vehicles were recalled but this is an excluded one. Was rear ended enough to get a salvage title but I was told a salvage title doesn’t affect safety recalls. Bought with less than 2k miles and have 22k miles on the vehicle now so there hasn’t been excessive use. Has done it several times now.

I bought my vehicle on Jan 2019 brand new from the dealer, after one year, I noticed slight clicking or clinking sound coming from back when I remove my foot from gas paddle. The sound become worst over time, and I had to take the car to the dealer on 2022, after inspection the technician told me that both rear toe links were bad and need a replacement. He told me this is very serious safety issue. It cost me around $400 dollar; this is not acceptable from a brand new vehicle. The Dealer told me this a normal issue known for this model and other models. After 6 months, the sound come back and I took it again to the dealer, same issue they did find; both rear toe links were going bad again. less than a year the same part go bad. This is a problem, and we heard from one other Chevy traverse owner that they had the same repeating issue. Why isn't there a recall for this?? Owners shouldn't have to pay for constant repair of the same issue if this is occurring, even multiple times on a yearly basis. It's expensive, several hundred dollars alone.

I shifted to park and turned the engine off. The engine turned off, but began beeping and the message board said SHIFT TO PARK. I started the engine again and shifted in and out of park and turned off engine. The same beeping and the same error message. I tried several times, with the same results. The car would not lock, and the beeping would not stop. I left the car for 20 minutes and then started it again and turned it off. At that time it stopped beeping and there was no error message. I had several errands to run on that day, and each time I got the error message with the beeping, and could not lock the car. This is a safety issue because at each stop I had to leave the car unlocked. I am a [XXX] widow and was traveling alone. Also, I worried that someone could start the car by just pressing the ignition button. I took it to the dealer and waited while it was being repaired. The dealer charged me $41.12 for a part listed at $21.49. They charged me $270.00 for labor for a job taking less than one hour. They also tacked on $20.00 for a "shop cost". General Motors has a repair bulletin #[XXX] for this issue. From the posts on the internet it is a common problem, and should have warranted a recall.

Car won’t turn off. Frequent shift to park messages when already in park. This appears to be common known problem and should be recalled immediately.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while parking the vehicle, the gear shifter was shifted into park(P); however, the “Shift to Park” message was displayed. The contact shifted the gear shifter back and forth and then firmly shifted into park(P) before the proper gear was recognized. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 34,950.

Purchased new in 2019 and first issue started less than a year later. Jerking from park to drive. Check engine light comes on, jerks when at a stop to starting to accelerate. Brought up several times to servicemen and couldn’t figure out the problem. Has continued to present

Twice my car has activated the Forward Assisted Braking while crossing railroad tracks. Both times it was immediately after a train had passed and it was clear to proceed. Both times my car came to an abrupt halt on the tracks with other traffic behind me. I cannot proceed until I tap the brake. And I’m worried I could be rear ended if it happens again while crossing during normal traffic.

I have a 2019 Chevy Traverse with 57,000 miles on it currently. First incident of loud noise coming from catalytic converter area began in Fall of 2022. In January 2023 I took it to the dealer and they found 2 cracks where the catalytic converter was cracked on each side of the pipes. I think they replaced the exhaust system at that time. Now, not even 1 year later, in 10/2023 I am hearing that same loud, embarrassing noise from my exhaust. I took it to the dealer today and there is a crack in my catalytic converter and the bracket broken off exhaust pipe that attaches to the muffler. I should not have to pay for this! In the Traverse Forum online this is a problem many people are having!

“Battery Charging System” (alternator/battery issue) We’ve owned this car for almost 3 years and are on our 4th new alternator and 6th new battery. After further research this seems to be a constant issue with Chevy Traverses. Each time this light has come on, our car has fully shut off in the middle of the road on the way to a mechanic shop. Power steering, lights, locks, doors. Nothing works, putting us in danger of getting stranded or hit. Workers from Oreily, advanced auto parts, a previous mechanic and currant mechanic have all looked at the car and can’t figure out what draining the power. The only warning is the “battery charging system” light coming on shortly before the car fully shuts off. When the light comes on, we flip down to the battery voltage a s can see it drop.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that upon arriving to her destination and attempting to shift the vehicle into park, the vehicle failed to shift into park. A message was displayed, alerting the driver to shift the vehicle into park, even though the instrument panel had indicated that the gear shifter was in park. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V001000 (Power Train), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 86,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated after driving and arriving at his destination, the vehicle was parked and turned off however, console lights and radio remained functioning. The contact stated that the vehicle was turned off and the vehicle jerked forward. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

After shifting vehicle from Drive (D) or Reverse (R) into Park (P) and attempting to turn the vehicle engine off (keyless ignition) an alert pops up stating "shift to park". The engine will shuts down but the ignition remains in auxiliary mode preventing you from completely powering the vehicle down.

The shift to park error message has been appearing on my Chevy Traverse. It first started to appear 3 months ago. I've always been able to get rid of the error by moving the shifter harder and wiggling it a little. But, one day last week when I came home and started to park my car, the shift to park error once again appeared. I have tried the trick that I have done in the past numerous times, but this time around it won't work. I called my Chevy dealership and made an appointment that same day since I can't even get out of my car since it will not let me turn off the vehicle. Even though I only have 22, 500 miles on my vehicle, but since my car is a 2019, it's no longer covered by the warranty, so I had to pay $740.00 to get my vehicle repaired. I researched online and found out that there has been a lot of cases like mine and there has been some class action lawsuit against Chevy. Chevrolet should issue a recall on all the models that has this same problem. Apparently they've known about this problem for years. If I have known that they have this issue, I would not have purchased my car.

1. Orange check engine light will not go off on my dash, When scanned by the mechanic it is showing an emissions Evap leak. 2. I'm having problem when I turn my Traverse off it beeps at me and I get a message that says shift to park. I wiggle the gear shift until it stops. This has been going on for quite a while now.

Recall for Emissions Evap leak repaired less than a year ago after engine light illuminated. Had to be taken in two separate times to be fixed. Engine light illuminated again a week ago 10/1/23, when scanned by mechanic it is showing the same emissions Evap leak. The vehicle is sputtering when trying to start and doesn’t feel safe when driving. Dealership said they’re unable to even look and diagnose for another week after knowing it’s the same recall.

Our Traverse shows a message “shift to park”. This happens after we have already shifted in park. This causes a continuous ding until we are able to trick the vehicle into park. The after concern is we leave the vehicle because we can’t get it to shift to park and it rolls damaging property or another person. This problem has left us stranded because we can not shift it.

“shift to park” alert on the dash constantly comes on when you are actually parked. You then must re-start the car and put it into park again. You must do this up to TEN times to park without this signal going on. Within the last week, this has happened each and every time I have had my vehicle out. Over the last few months it has happened intermittently. Dealer says they are seeing a lot of this on my make and model when I took my car in this morning. This seems to be a VERY common problem in internet forums as to my make and model. THIS SHOULD BE A CLEAR RECALL. I can attach the invoice once the repairs are made today.

VEHICLE WIL NOT SHIFT TO PARK AND WILL NOT SHUT DOWN

Vehicle does not recognize when it is in park. When i place the vehicle in park and try to turn off the vehicle there is a warning on the dash that says "shift to park" even though the vehicle is already in park. I had this same issue 2 years ago and the dealership fixed the issue. This issue has come up again and this time I had to pay almost $500 for the fix. Dealer says this may occur again and next time will be an $800 fix. This is not a normal wear and tear issue this is a manufacture defect and should be covered by the manufacturer.

On September 29, I took my 2019 Traverse to the dealer for its annual state inspection for Virginia at Radley Chevrolet in Fredericksburg. The dealer failed the car due to needing a rear toe link replacement. The dealer told me that this is common in the 2019 Traverse and are replacing quite a few of them. The cost for the repair is going to be about $600. It only has 41,500 miles and has been a very dependable vehicle. What concerns me is that reading other online forums, many owners are lamenting the same thing being told that this is common amongst the Traverse, yet there are no recalls on it. There are a few other GM models that have a recall for the rear suspension, but I don't understand why the Traverse isn't one of them. I am asking for a review of this to see how many toe links have been repaired on the Traverse, specifically among 2019 models, compared to how many have been sold. if a recall is decided to be implemented, it would save a lot of people the hassle of being blindsided or at least thinking they are being scammed by the dealer. If there will be a recall, I would then seek reimbursement from GM as this should have been done long ago and just replaced on all vehicles, not just when it's being taken in for an inspection. Thank you very much. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Listed on a Chevy website as a recall for 2018-2019 Traverse “shift to park”. It isn’t listed on your website or with the dealership. Over 170 complaints for the car not recognizing that you put it in park, which can drain the battery or worse cause your vehicle to move when it shouldn’t. I just paid $100 (luckily I had coverage), but this should be recalled. Dealership stated the part was on back order, which means a lot of people are having the same issue. This should be recalled and money refunded to customers.

SUV refuses to turn off when in park and ignition is pushed off. It gives message to place in park but the vehicle is in park.

I'm having problem when I turn my Traverse off it beeps at me and i get a message that says shift to park. I wiggle the gear shift until it stops. This has been going on for quite a while now.

After putting it in park, turn off car and it stated it’s not in park! Sometime I can get it to shut off by messing with shifter. Sometimes just let it run until it shuts off!

There are apparently 2 holes in my exhaust from the front exhaust pipe issue. The mounting bracket on the front exhaust pipe separated from the pipe, a hole developed because of this. This is a 2019 traverse, 54,000 miles. Should not have exhaust pipe issues. I took it in the dealer, they said they can fix part of this under warranty but the other part of this fix cost $1,600. I've had this car 1 year and again it's a 2019. Curious why GM would only cover part of this fix and make us pay for the other part. This was ALL caused by the same issue, confirmed by the dealer. GM is looking to see if they can assist in paying for this but I would like to still report this because people should not have to pay out of pocket for a terrible design flaw. And is this going to happen again? will it be covered?

I'm joining all the other people that have the shift to park issue on their 2019 Chevy Traverse. When you put it in park it does not register that it's in park so you can't turn off the car. If that's not a safety issue not sure what is? GM needs to have this part recalled asap before something bad happens. I'm also scared it's not in park when it says it is because who knows what's going on.

Shift to park error message after shifting into Park. Required replacement of wire harness which dealer was aware. Seems to me that should be a recall item.

Nothing has happened to date. Dealership said that I need two new rear toe adjustment links when the car has less than 50,000 miles, no accidents, 1 owner, and properly maintained. This is a known issue with GM cars including Buick LaCrosse, Buick Regal, Chevrolet Malibu, GMC Acadia, Cadillac XT5, and Cadillac XT6. The Chevrolet Traverse needs to be added to this recall as numerous customers have run into the same issue.

After one shifts the car in park and stops engine, a display warning and beeping sound starts stating "shift to park". Even though car is already in park. The beeping sound and message does not go away or quits. One cannot exit vehicle. Incorrect error and display messages and audio warnings are misleading and can lead to unknown safety concerns... The problem is repeatable and is occuring more frequently. The only way we have been able to "leave/stop" the car, is to repeatedly start car, shift into gear, shift into park and stop car engine. After 4 or 5 times, the car finally stops with no incorrect safety warning and beeping, and we can exit the car. Sometimes we have to drive a short distance to clear up this safety concern/issue.

I just had the vehicle inspected and was shocked to find out that the rear trailing arms links or toe links failed inspection. Both the right and left side in the rear failed inspection. This was also causing the vehicle to be out of alignment. From these failed parts could've also caused a potential accident. The vehicle is only 4 years old and it has less than 40,000 miles on it. I believe these rear suspension parts failing this early is unacceptable. I also heard from my local dealership that this is a common problem among a couple models as well.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that after shifting to park(P), the message "Shift to Park" was displayed, and the vehicle failed to shut off while depressing the PUSH START/STOP switch. The contact stated that the battery was drained due to the failure. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 39,000.

Both rear toe links and alignment. Vehicle has had a slight clicking or clinking sound coming from back. (Very quiet). During high speeds, such as highway use, vehicle appears to move back and forth more than expected while driving, and feels like its "rough running" as if something on suspension system is working harder at a higher speed. Dealer said this can cause excessive swaying of vehicle at higher speeds and therefore can cause accidents at these high speeds, especially on a highway road system. History: Bought pre-owned vehicle back in June 2022. Within 6 weeks, took into dealer FIRST time to have diagnosed amd repaired (both rear toe links and alignment). Dealer did replace the toe links, and stated vehicle was required to have a 4-wheel alignment after replacing, but that we as the owners were liable for cost of alignment. Extended warranty said that alignment should have been covered, dealer again said "No, wasn't part of the warranty or repair". I confirmed that it was absolutely necessary to perform this alignment. 12 months later, we took vehicle into dealer again for same sounds (soft or quiet clinking in back of vehicle) who stated both rear toe links are loose (again) and vehicle is required to have a 4-wheel alignment. Our warranty will again cover the rear toe links, but NOT THE alignment. Per the labor guide that the dealer uses for repairs and per our warranty, if a 4 wheel alignment is REQUIRED in order to replace the rear toe links, the alignment is supposed to be covered under warranty. DEALER is stating No. Both dealer and warranty company have access to the same Labor Guide information. This is a problem, and we heard from one other Chevy traverse owner that they had the same repeating issue. Why isn't there a recall for this?? Owners shouldn't have to pay for constant repair of the same issue if this is occuring, even multiple times on a yearly basis. It's expensive, several hundred dollars alone.

When putting car in park it does not recognize it is in park. The car has to be reversed, pulled forward and turned off & if that doesn't work then out into neutral & turn off. This has to be done numerous times before it recognizes it is in park. It happens often.

Shift to park problem. When the car is in park there is an error message stating ‘shift to park.’ I am unable to get out of my car, the car does not turn off or lock and I am trapped in my car in Florida heat with a car beeping or honking if I leave it

I am joining the ever growing list of Chevy Traverse (2019) owners who are experiencing the "shift to park" problem. When I turn off the vehicle, a message appears on the screen that I must shift to park even though the car is in park. As of now, I can usually jiggle it into place or move the car out of park and try again, but this is a safety issue I can't ignore. The dealer tells me they know of the problem and I am scheduled to have it repaired (or so they say?) at a cost of $425 plus tax.

Error message pops up saying shift to park. With this message on, the car will not shut off.

When vehicle comes to a complete stop once auto stop engages vehicle turns off completely. Unable to start again after many attempts. Vehicle always needs to be towed back to the dealership.

Transmission says it’s not in park, but it is. This is an ongoing issue with GM vehicles but my vehicle is out of warranty and “doesn’t fit in the vin break” of the TSB. If this is a known issue, and it’s a safety issue, there needs to be a recall

The car has continued issues with the “Shift to Park” defect that prevents drivers from shutting off and locking their vehicles. This keeps happening when the car is in park and for some reason doesn't read that it is. This a tremendous issue with this vehicle that GM should be covering because it's for multiple models and a huge safety concern. Customers should not be spending any money out of pocket for this safety concern that needs to be rectified by GM. Car currently at the dealer to get issue fixed to be told that this is a huge known issue that GM refuses to issue a recall on and that they have seen many vehicles come in and they have to replace the unit at the customers cost which is not fair. I've only had this vehicle for one year and no reason I should have had this many issues with this vehicle and such a big one that isn't covered.

Shift to park feature has starting failing. Causing several issues, the vehicle won’t let you turn it off or lock it. It is does not register that it is in park making it a hazard. There has been a high rise of this exact issue.

My vehicle has been displaying a ''shift to park" message. The message appears when I put the vehicle in park. When I go to turn off the car the vehicle will not turn off. Sometimes If I giggle the gear shifter violently enough the car will turn off. I have had leave my car running on multiple occasions. Woken up to dead battery's because my car WILL NOT TURN OFF. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership on 3 occasions to be looked at. The first time it was noted and I was told they couldn't look at it. The second time My vehicle needed all new transmission work ( on a 2019 model car) but was told since they couldn't recreate the shift to park message they couldn't do anything about it. The 3rd time they were able to recreate the issue but wanted me to pay $1k+ for ''fix'' the problem. But the fix was just to turn off the display message. My vehicle will not turn off.

Shift into park message just started coming on even though car is in park. There are numerous complaints and lawsuits online regarding this. You have to jiggle the shifter to make it go away. Waiting for a response from local dealer regarding a quote to fix issue.

When the car is in park the vehicle does not believe the vehicle is in park and will not turn off. There is a service bulletin from GM about the issue but has not been recalled. You must press the start button and shift into a gear at least ten times before the shift to park error goes away.

When my vehicle is in park my vehicle will not turn off and an error comes on my screen and says shift to park.

I PURCHASED THE TRAVERSE IN MARCH 2023 AND TRULY ENJOYED IT. BUT IN THE LAST WEEK IT HAS BEEN GIVING PROBLEMS TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN OFF ENGINE, IT KEEPS SAYING TO "SHIFT TO PARK" AND I HAVE TO RESTART AND CHANGE GEARS TO REDO THE PARKING IT MAY BE THE GEAR BOX NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY, AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE UNTIL I HAVE TO KEEP REDOING THE PARKING AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL STOP. I AM SO WORRIED IT WILL COME OUT OF PARK AND ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TO STREET, AS I HAVE A SLANTED DRIVEWAY AND NO OPTION TO PARK IN STREET. COULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME IF THERE IS A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS. MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE SAW A NOTICE OF IT ON HER PHONE BUT I COULDN'T FIND IT. I AM 75 YRS OLD ON LIMITED INCOME AND DONT WANT TO HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS OR CAUSE ONE. THANK YOU

Car keep having message “shift to park” this is dangerous issue and should be covered in the warranty why isn’t this covered.

The vehicle has a bucking motion while accelerating from stop up to speeds in excess of 25 mph . The bucking only occurs while shifting. The cars RPMs drop during this bucking and the vehicle comes close to stalling. The vehicle has 42,000 miles on it. Dealership is saying this is common in all traverse Ciocca dealership Lawrence township NJ but changed transmission and still bucking they said they cant do nothing and keep driving it till 1500-2000 miles

Put the car in park and turn off and I get a Shift To Park message although the car is already in park. After researching, this appears to be a very common problem on these vehicles. Why is there not a recall to have this fixed? Although my car only has 28,000 miles, it is outside of the 3 year warranty. I transport children every day and it's frustrating when I can't get out of my car until I figure out how to get the message to go away. Shame on Chevrolet! Have an appointment with dealership in the morning!

Car died in middle of intersection. Had it towed to repair shop and replaced starter and 350 AMP fuse. Had car back for less than a week and the exact same issue occurred at a stop light. Had it towed to same repair shop and after checking all wiring mechanic found teeth missing on flywheel which broke the brand new starter. Mechanic states entire engine has to be removed in order to replace flywheel.

When you put the transmission into park, but the Driver info screen comes on and asks you to shift to park as your shutting the Traverse down. I did have it to my mechanic for an oil change and he checked the tranny cable and said it was ok. He had to like wiggle the shifter to get screen to clear. He said it may be electrical. I have a appointment at a transmission shop but it isn't for a couple weeks yet.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were flashing on and off. The vehicle restarted after approximately five minutes. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

The dashboard message at instrument cluster says " shift to park" and an audible warning alarm keeps on beeping. eventhough THe car shift lever is in Park. engine shut off. I'M very afraid that the car may move and hurt people or my self even though the shift lever is ON PARK. * yes, the car is available for inspection. * safety of others or my self at risk if the car moves. *Not inspected by dealer yet. not by police. not by insurance *Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? answer: Message is "shift to Park". Happened on May 8. 2023 several times every time the car is ON Park and engine shut down.

BACK BRACKET ON EXHAUST THAT IS WELDED ON HAS FAILED. THE WELD HAS FAILED CAUSING A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT JUST 43K MILES. THERE IS ALREADY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THE FRONT BRACKET ON THE 2019 CHEVY TRAVERSE.

The backseat seatbelt is not working. When you insert the metal part of the seatbelt in the clip, it won’t clip. You have to push the button numerous times then it clicks. However, I’m not sure if it’s safe enough to trust since it’s faulty at the insert. Also, the passenger seatbelt is faulty. When seatbelt is on, the seatbelt stays in a lock position and doesn’t loosen, it stays tight although brakes weren’t applied, to promote it to lock. I can send a video ob both faulty seatbelts.

Shift indicator message comes on dash after engine shut off. When the warning lamp would trigger the switch with the shifter handle assembly would not message the body module of the action. A technical service bulletin recommended the shifter & electrical harness be replaced.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that underneath the vehicle there was a bracket that had detached. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the mechanic replaced the catalytic converter. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000.

The vehicle has a bucking motion while accelerating from stop up to speeds in excess of 35 mph. The bucking only occurs while shifting. The cars RPMs drop during this bucking and the vehicle comes close to stalling. The vehicle has 42,000 miles on it and TASCA Woonsocket, RI dealership says there is service bulletin on it.

Every time I put it in park the car will not turn off. I get a shift to park warning light and the car remains running. I was told at the dealership that it is frequent but GM will not recall it because they don’t want to replace the parts. I can’t get out of my car when I go places because it won’t turn off!

This is a 8 seat SUV. The second row center seat belt is not working - will not latch. This is caused because the buckle is positioned between the 60/40 moving seats. When people are in the third row seating area and the second row seats move forward to exit it crushes the buckle. After repeated crushes it now does not operate. The second row center seat person can not keep the seat belt latched and is not restrained.

THE SHIFT TO PARK ILLUMINATIONS COMES ON WHEN I STOP AND PUT THE SHIFT LEVER IN PARK POSITION. THIS APPEARED APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK AGO FEBRUARY 10, 2023. IT IS STEADILY GETTING MORE FREQUENT.SOME TIMES THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL IT IS BACKED UP SEVERAL TIMES AND THE WARNING GOES OFF .THE CAR IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR BEFORE FURTHER TRAVEL IS TAKEN.THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT IT NEEDS A NEW SHIFTING HARNESS.

1.Shift to park issue, button on shifter has to be flicked a coupe time for sensor to realize it’s in park. 2. Speeds at 25mph then accelerating, transmission kicks. Transmission also whistles when cold.

Bought car 3 days ago . Everything was fine. Parked in parking spot at grocery store today and dash said “shift to park” even though shifter was in park. Jiggled it, warning went out. Got to work an hour later and it happened 3-4 times. This is very concerning ! I have two small children and when this happens I cannot lock my car or leave it.

Everytime I set my car to park it says shift to park, also whe I pull it all the way to the letter L it’s really stiff it doesn’t set.

When I shift the vehicle from "gear" to "park" the electric system does not register that the car is in "park". I receive a message on the dash (Shift Vehicle to Park) when my vehicle is already in "park". If I try to get out of the car with the dash stating to (Shift Vehicle to Park) the horn starts to beep. I have to keep putting the car in and out of gear and eventually it will electronically realize the vehicle is in "park". Sometimes it takes one or two tries for it to turn off and I can exit my vehicle or it has taken me 10 minutes of continuing to put the car in and out of gear. This started a few weeks ago and has slowly gotten worse. My Traverse is currently at Chevrolet to get fixed and I was quoted $692 plus tax to repair the issue. I have googled this issue and found this same problem posted dating back to 2020 yet this still is not a recall 3 years later. When I called/ dropped off my Traverse at Chevrolet they knew exactly what was happening without me fully explaining. This is a known issue that they stated was a transmission emergency and I was offered a same day appointment vs. waiting for a normal appointment for two weeks.

3 major issues—1. The driver side seatbelt does not latch any more. This started happening 11/1/2022. 2. The "Shift to Park" message continues to appear while the car is in park. The vehicle at times will not shut off due to the message even thought it's actually in park. This has been happening for over a year without a fix and now we're over our 3 year warranty. 3. The car has 45 miles on it before it needed to refuel, however, it stalled and completed shut off in the middle of traffic causing a jam behind us! We had one of our toddlers in the car too which could have ended much worse. The car was towed to Chevy ($160 bill for us), and Chevy said it stalled and turned off because the fuel was empty even though it the dashboard said 45 miles on it.

When I put my 2019 Traverse in park, it gives a shift to park error message, even though it IS in park. I can't shut it off so I put the gear shift in drive and back to park a few times and the message would finally go away and let me shut it off. The problem is constant now. Very frustrating!! Now I'll have to take it to the dealer and hopefully they can fix it and without me having to take it in again to be fixed. And my warrant is expired now (42 months) so I'll have to pay for an expensive electrical fix. I've done some research and a lot of people are having this issue. Why hasn't there been a recall issued yet???

We bought the Chevy Traverse from Eagle Pass, Texas AutoWorld Dealership. We test drove the vehicle and made the car dealer aware that some of the seatbelts were not functioning and also that the breaks were making a screeching sound. The car dealer made notes and said he would have the seatbelts and brakes looked over at a later time. We. Still bought the vehicle and followed up with the dealership only to be told the car sales man no longer works there and that we would be charged a fee for having the seatbelts looked at totally disregarded the break issues. Now we have a newer vehicle but with faulty seatbelts and breaks.

2019 chevy traverse check engine light came on then went off for a couple of weeks. The engine light came back on and I took it in to dealership. They found code p0420 which is fail code catalytic converter. They call me to shop an showed me a leak on pipe near a weld which was cracked no sign of someone causing damage to it just a cracked weld. This pipe was directly under the passenger and driver which could have been causing the gasses to leak into the vehicle. This carbon monoxide could cause safety risks to passengers. I contacted General motors about this issue and they investigated it but said it was not covered so I paid out of my pocket for the repair which cost $1600 .

Vehicle was in driveway at slight incline. Vehicle was able to be shut off while in drive and rolled backwards. No warning to shift to park

When the car is in Park, it gives a shift to park error, even though it is in Park. It began about a week ago. I use to be able to wiggle the gear shift a bit and it would go away. Now the problem is constant. And you can’t just ignore it as it beeps and the lights stay on draining the battery.

On 10-31-2022 my Chevy app sent email that my vehicle was experiencing starter engine issues and that my vehicle could not start. Except my vehicle was starting and being driven at the time. Shortly after that my vehicle gave notification by dashboard that my steering assist was reduced and to drive carefully but I am not aware of having that feature or how it was reduced in the first place. On 11-1-2022 my vehicle was being reversed into parking and the camera view displayed the scene as if my course was clear but I was not and the vehicle collided with a pole. I’m not sure how this is even possible but I no longer feel this vehicle is safe for me and my family.

My wife and I were t-boned in the front end of our 2019 Chevy Traverse. I am familiar with how airbags operate and the force necessary to activate the trigger switch. At the force we were hit, the airbags should have deployed. None of the airbags worked. The car that hit us was totaled. Their front end was completely demolished to the firewall and all airbags were deployed. Our car had $11,000 plus worth of front /side damage. Our bodies are recovering from injuries we should not have sustained if the airbags were functional. We will be contacting the dealer.

On our 2019 Chevy Traverse, the check engine light came on and off several times over the last couple of weeks. After filling up with gas, it would often take 4 to 5 times to get the engine to start as it would keep stalling out after starting. Additionally, on two separate occasions the car stalled out unexpectedly - once while turning onto a road out of a parking lot that almost caused us to get hit, and a second time while in a round-a-bout. The car was checked by a Chevy dealer and it was found that there was a bad purge valve creating this issue. This had previously been recalled on earlier model year Traverses, but not for 2019. It appears this is still an issue for this model year and should be addressed.

This morning, the steering system went out on me, all of the sudden while driving down the road the steering stop working and was unable to control vehicle. Lights came on on the dash. Telling me that to be careful, going into safe mode problem with steering column. This was a very horrifying moment, as the truck was doing all over the place and was unable to take steering control. I was blessed to be alone on the street and manage to side park on the curve. I cannot image if this would happen in the freeway in high speed. Now I am afraid, this safety issue must be addressed by the chevy company/dealer as it is a safety issue and a high risk where lives can be lost!!!!

When shifting to park, the car indicates that the car has not shifted and has not engaged the parking break. The car remains on and has rolled back as a result. The dealership refuses to acknowledge the problem and it is endemic with General Motors vehicles across the family of brands.

The seatbelt buckle in the middle row jams and makes the seatbelt unusable. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was told I had to pay for this repair when this is clearly a safety issue that Chevrolet should take care of. There is a defect in the seatbelt buckles for this vehicle. When I first purchased it in July 2021 they had to replace one seatbelt buckle and now a second one stopped working.

When the car is idling and you place the car from drive to park, it gives you an error message "shift in park" and and will allow you to kill the engine but the alarm goes off. You don't know if the car is still in drive or still in park. There are two service bulletins on this. 19-NA-206 is one. GM knows there is a safety defect and should issue a recall for a car that can't tell you safely if it's in park or drive. my car is being worked on for this at Hendrick Chevrolet in Cary nc. happens multiple times a day.

The issue is that after driving the vehicle when it is shifted into park the transmission fails to recognize that it is in park and sends a message to the screen to shift into park. It appears to be related to a buildup of material on the contacts for the sensor. The situation can usually be overcome by wiggling the shifter until the contacts make a proper connection.

Auto stop continually stops but delays to turn on. Service esc goes on and off even after being fixed. Several Mechanics have “fixed” this issue but it still happens. This is going to cause a serious accident.

When placing into park , message coming displays place in park, after many attempts it shifts into park, but has rolled into roadway while in park.

When shifted to park and trying to turn off car light comes on saying vehicle needs to be in park. Additionally when stopped at a light when letting off of break and pushing on gas transmission will not in gauge for several seconds than goes and causes tires to peel out.

I get “shift to park” warning even when car is in park. I have to jiggle the gear shift In order for it to recognize it is in park.

2019 Chevrolet Traverse having "shift to park" error when shifted into park and it will not turn off. I am not able to shut down my vehicle occurs, which is at random but with more frequency lately. I often have to turn car on, put into reverse and repeat the process, or jiggle the gear shifter to get it to turn off. I have read this is a common issue and GM is being sued in a class action lawsuit because of it. My dealership isn't acknowledging it and wants me to pay to have it completely replaced. I have also read it gets worse in most cases and in some cases causes the vehicle to shift into gear accidentally or drains the battery completely because it thinks the car is in drive and stays on. Possibly related, the vehicle is starting to "buck" when in slow acceleration/shifting automatic gears.

BOTH REAR TOE LINKS WERE CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 38,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AS THE SERVICE TECH SAID HE HAD SEEN IT IN THE EQUINOX AS WELL. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND INJURY BY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO VEER UNCONTROLLABLY DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR SEVERAL GM VEHICLES. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2019 TRAVERSE. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TOE LINKS AND THE COST OF THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT THAT IS REQUIRED SHOULD BE COVERED. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2022/01/gm-expands-chevy-malibu-buick-regal-and-lacrosse-toe-link-recall/ https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2021/RCSB-21V633-9123.pdf

Vehicle has a shift to park error and doesn’t recognize when the car is in park so will not allow the vehicle to turn off.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while parking the vehicle, the gear shifter was shifted to park(P) however, a message to “Shift to park” was displayed. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to turn off. The contact stated that after several attempts the vehicle turned off. Additionally, the lock button had to be pressed several times before the vehicle responded. The vehicle was not diagnosed; however, an appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was contacted, and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 43,550.

I was driving to take my daughter to school and my truck made a loud click noise and it sounded accelerated and it won’t go more then 10 miles per hour which almost made a car crash me . Also the pass anger seat belt does nit work properly

Driving through Arizona desert and California desert, air conditioning went out. On Monday, contacted Mission Bay Chevrolet to get AC repaired. Dealership and service rep were excellent but this AC should not have failed at 39,151 miles. Diagnosis showed that Compressor clutch pulley melted freezing the compressor. I can only thank God that I had an extended warranty.

The vehicle does not recognize P even thought it says it is shifted into park. Have to start , stop and move lever several times. Dealer recognized and says they have seen several of these issues , but since the car is out of warranty they won’t fix. I don’t know if the car is actually in P or not and I’m scared.

About one month ago, I began receiving a "Shift to Park" message in error when powering off my car and in park. There is no way to override the message, during which the car remains on and there is a loud beeping noise. I have to power the car back on and manipulate the sensors to make the "Shift to Park" message go away - and this doesn't always work or takes several times. In addition to the obvious concern, I'm also concerned about my car's battery every time this happens. I have young children and am afraid to drive my car right now because of this issue. We bought out our lease in May and our Warranty expired about three months ago and Chevy is refusing to fix the defected part. Chevy is aware of this problem in older and other 2019 vehicles, they have yet to recall the 2019 Traverse. I took my car to a local mechanic to replace the faulty wire, with the same wire which will likely cause the same issue in a matter of time. Consumers should not be responsible for unethical practices. Please hold Chevy accountable for their poor choices!

When car is shifted into park, there is an error saying that the vehicle is not in Park and the lights and warning chime turns on. It happens 90% of the time. I can move the shifter back and forth and some times it will stop and work properly. I can also try to move the shifter while in park without moving into another gear and that might work but it may take 5 -10 tries. Do a google search and you'll find lots of threads on bad Gen 2 shifters for this year and Make/Model. No warnings prior to malfunctioning. Shift to Park Issue with warning light and message error - shift to park.

The vehicle gives a message of "Shift to park" but the vehicle is in park. This is a safety issue and could cause harm to somebody if the vehicle does not think it's in park and start's rolling. It also doesn't let the vehicle shut completely off because it thinks its still in drive! There are alot of forums and complaints on this issue. Local dealership states yes we have heard of this issue BUT "It's not on a recall list yet and also not covered under warranty" This should be a recall and fixed by Chevrolet without charging customers $400-$1,000 to fix a BIG issue with numerous vehicles. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE

We constantly got the message to "Shift to Park" even though the indicator showed we were already in Park! We had to shift to Drive and back into Park several times before our car recognized that we were already in Park. We could not turn the car off until the system finally realized that we were in Park.

When I shift to park and turn off my Chevy Traverse the warning light comes on to shift to park except my Chevy Traverse is in park. This happened last night and it doesn't happen every time I turn my Chevy off.

Transmission shifting erratic. Rpm is high and shifting is delayed. Delay in acceleration when car is in movement. Parking gear sensor is not working. Shows on dash to put car in park. When car is already in park.

On June 12, 2022, after stopping for gas, my car did not want to start back up. I put my foot on the brake and pushed the start/stop button, but the engine struggled to come on. It did a similar thing a week before, but on that time when I pushed the button to start the car, all of my lights came on and my radio, but my air conditioner delayed in coming on. When I put the car in drive to go, nothing happened and I realized the engine never started. I pushed the start/stop button again and everything shut off and then back on and I was able to drive. For almost a year now, I have had issues with the auto stop feature when I'm at a stop light/sign. When I try to take off again, it delays on letting me move. This is also when my car will jerk or jolt as I start to drive. I took it to the dealership to look at the problem and was told there may be something with the fuel system. All they did was flush the system, but the problem didn't stop. I am seeing reports online of similar things happening to other 2019 Traverse owners. This concerns me because what happens when my car decides not to start again and I'm in a busy area? What happens when my family is with me and it doesn't want to go or it shuts off at a stop sign or light and we're in crash? I am making an appointment with another dealership, but with how many other drivers seem to be having problems, this seems to be a manufacturer issue and needs to be taken care of by them.

The gear shift won't register as being placed into park. It often requires multiple on/off cycles of the vehicle along with repeated shifting into drive/park. Preliminary research showed it as a unique problem to this setup. I believe the safety risk is present by the inability to confirm successful changing of gears.

My complaint is in regard to the climate control system on my 2019 Chevy Traverse. I chatted with Will of the Chevrolet Customer Service Center on October 10, 2021. The problem is that the system will not keep the windshield clear of fog in certain weather conditions. During the chat, Will said that he couldn't do anything unless I had taken the car to the dealer. I believed it is a design flaw, because my son owns the same model and year of Traverse and has the same complaint. (I have previously owned 2009 and 2012 Traverses and did not experience this problem.) The next time I took the car to my dealer for service 12/14/2021, I told the service dept about the problem. According to the service request: "All functions working as designed at this time." The service manager told me that this is a common complaint. He suggested using the "Max Defrost" button (which bombs the driver with air), turning on the AC to take the humidity out of the air, and turning up the temperature. We have had this fogging happen at many times. but is not something that can be replicated, because it is dependent on the weather. The time I complained in October 2021 was particularly scary, because I was bringing my husband home from surgery late at night from Montefiore Hospital in Pittsburgh. The hospital is about 2 hours from our home and is not a trip we make on a regular basis. It happened on Friday, May 6, 2022 again, when my husband was going to Monroeville, PA for a check-up with the vascular surgeon. It was one of those "all day rains" and the temperature was in the 52-58 degree range. I think we both had a stiff neck the next day after having the Max Defrost blasting all the way to Pittsburgh and back.

I get ‘Shift to Park’ message and constant dinging when car is placed in park and turn off ignition. After doing some research, this seems to be a common issue with various 2016-2020 Chevrolet vehicles. I am hopeful that this will be covered under my vehicle warranty from the dealer, but we should not have to hassle with that if GM is well aware of the issue in many vehicles. A recall should be issued and GM should cover to replace and repair back to proper working order. When many people spend a year's salary or more on a brand new vehicle and it doesn't even last them two years, that is not right. I only have 24,000 miles on my vehicle and this should not be an issue I am having to deal with right now. GM needs to step up and take care of this issue immediately.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, after releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle downshifted with a loud thud. The contact stated that the loud thud also occurred while shifting into reverse(R). Additionally, the contact stated that while driving through a puddle of water, the all-wheel drive feature engaged, and the transmission vibrated and made a loud grinding noise. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed; however, the mechanic found no fault with the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

The electronic cord in the shifter showing the "shift to park" message code caused my car battery to die and be unable to shut my car off and on for MONTHS. This electronic problem was nothing related to anything I did but the vehicle itself causing me to finally take it in because it was not safe for me and my kids to go far in case the battery would die. It costed me almost $500 and 6 HOURS of wasted time at the dealership. I would HIGHLY recommend and appreciate a recall reimbursement on this issues- I am not the first to have this happen.

Shift to park error on, car is in park however the car is not registering it is in park and won’t let me shut off car… tried several times of putting it in gear and back into park as well as driving it around a few separate times before it would finally register.

Shift to park error And the car can’t turn off

When shifting into park after coming to a stop in a parking space the “SHIFT INTO PARK” warning appeared on the dash. It took driving back and forth between reverse and drive to finally get the car to go into park without the warning indicator.

When shifting into Park the “Shift to Park” message comes on even though the vehicle is in Park. This problem started about 6 months ago and now happens almost every time we drive it. It is a safety issue because we don’t want to get stranded or not be able to lock the vehicle.

The Sway bar/Control Arm broke up near the engine without cause. It appears metal fatigue or manufacture defect caused same. It's failure led to CV Joint and other damage. This was discovered during a changing of tires. I don't know how long it had been broken as no obvious signs were readily apparent and my wife said it drove normal. There was no accident or other impact that would have caused same.

After shifting to Park and turning the vehicle off a message of "Shift to Park" appears on the information screen behind the steering wheel despite the car already being in park.

Upon shifting vehicle into park and shutting off vehicle, "SHIFT TO PARK" is displayed on the vehicle information center. Recent purchase of vehicle, owned by me less then 2 weeks and this has occurred multiple times already.

First Issue: 09/28/2019- Robert Chevrolet/Hicksville- Car got shut off on middle of old country road- Car needs to be towed to Nearest Chevy dealer and Generator and battery was replaced-Generator caused battery to fail- There was no rental car given since I was told that service center didn’t belong to me- If I had brought to dealership in Douglaston then I would be able to get a loaner car. Same issue Second time: 2/10/2022 Car got shut off in middle of Northern Blvd. right near service center- My whole car dashboard and signal went blank while taking exist and I was not able to use signals indicator at all- My car got completely shut off in few minutes after shutting off dashboard. I almost got into an accident due to car slowed down and shut off completely in busiest main street. Car drivers behind me started cursing and honking and screaming because I even couldn’t start emergency flashing light. I was able to borrow orange cone from local service guy and put it behind my car since I couldn’t use emergency indicator. I was told $1350 including tax is out of pocket cost (Alternator/Battery)- I was within 3 year leasing period but due to its out of warranty for mileage limit for about over 4000 mileage. GM was involved and took percentage of and I still ended up paying $816. I am asking why within three year my battery and generator will go bad?

My vehicle is not registering whenever it is put into park. The dashboard keeps signaling that it needs to be shifted into park when it already is and refuses to turn the vehicle off because it’s not registering that it did is in park. Upon researching the issue, I found that this is a common problem due to defective parts and once fixed by the dealership people have reported having the same problem within the next few thousand miles. This same issue is happening with different models of gm vehicles as well and I believe due to the widespread and common occurrence of this specific related issue that there needs to be a recall to have the problem resolved. I am unable to even drive my vehicle due to this. I can not turn my vehicle completely off which drains the battery.

My Chevy Traverse LT has only 15,500 miles. A few weeks after my 3 year warranty expired I started getting an "Action Required Shift to Park" message and the car would not recognize it was in park. After numerous attempts it would eventually recognize and turn off properly. Not only is this frustrating but also dangerous. I called the dealer I purchased from and his only offer was to put it on the diagnostic machine told me that that would be deducted from the total. When I asked what the ballpark figure would be, he said he did not know which tells me that they could just charge me whatever they wanted. He said he knew about this problem and the bulletin that was issued and had fixed many. I'm assuming he should know a ballpark figure but the way he was doing it I wouldn't know until it was all said and done shameful way to do business for a known problem. I called Chevrolet Customer Service and was told it was covered under the power train warranty. Then I found a Chevy dealer in Smithville who acknowledged this is an ongoing problem, not covered by warranty and quoted me $500 to repair by replacing the sensor and harness. He got my business by being honest. I have been a loyal Chevy customer for 50+ years and now rethinking what make car I will get in the future. I am perplexed why Chevy doesn't issue a recall for this issue since a car needs to be in park and turned off.

The transmission is shifted into park mechanism does not work. Can’t turn off the engine.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to turn off after the vehicle was shifted to PARK. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted and an appointment was scheduled however, the vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000.

The transmission is shifted into park mechanism does not work and is available for inspection. The Shift Into Park notice in the Driver Information Center lights and chimes as long as the system does not believe the transmission is not in park. This will cause the battery to go dead, or in some instances you can't turn off the engine nor leave the vehicle until this error is cleared. It has been confirmed by a dealer (Henna) whose service contact said they had the same problem on their 2019 Traverse plus many, many comments about this problem for this and other GM models which have been posted on the Internet. The vehicle nor the component have been inspected by others, but another dealer will be attempting to fix the problem under one of serveral TSBs created by GM. No other warnings nor symptoms happened before this started.

The tire pressure monitoring system shows incorrect information. It is of by 3 - 5 psi when compared to a tire pressure gauge the is tested & calibrated accurate to ±2% at our JACO NIST and ANSI certified calibration lab. Not knowing the correct tire air pressure risks a blowout while traveling. The component will be inspected within 5 days at a Chevrolet dealership service center. The failure causes alerts on the Driver Information Center to the incorrect tire pressure. The error first appeared around June 2020 while checking the tire pressure with my gauge.

Unknown what component is failing. When honking the horn, the radio station changes. It is available upon inspection. When the station changes to another station, at times the new station is a lot louder than the original station. This is distracting and causes the driver to look at the Entertainment Center and away from the road. This puts everyone in the vehicle at risk for an accident. Other drivers or pedestrians are risk for the same reason. The vehicle has been inspected several times by the dealership that sold us the vehicle who said they could not reproduce the error. No warnings appeared before nor as the error happens. This appeared within the first year of ownership.

Computer keeps saying shift into park after the car is in park and I’m trying to shut the car off. I then have to jiggle the throttle into park in order for it to recognize it’s already in park.

On several occasions when trying to park my vehicle I would get a “Shift to Park” error message on my dash. Despite turning the car back on and off, the error message did not go away. I had to do this several times before it’d go away.

Brake system failed. car crash forward. personal and passenger safety at risk.. The problem is not confirmed by a dealer or independent representatives or others yet, only reported to insurance . no police record. , UNKNOWN. I was making a very slow right turn with foot on brakes for a distance of no more than 5 meters to make room behind me and other cars, in preparation to reverse park or rear /back parking. when suddenly the car accelerate , going forward .. the car hits a barrier which put the car to stop. I was on the brake pedal the whole time. With the car at stopped at the barrier and foot still on brake pedal, I am able to shift to reverse gear and parked the car. The impact is very strong that it damaged the front end mostly right side and transmission problem, transmission oil leak and alignment of tires. Thank you very much

“Shift to park” message when car is put in Park and car cannot be turned off. Reshifting fid not fix the problem. Drove it around a bit then was able to turn it off. Apparently this is a known defect. Dealer who fixed mine says he gets a few every week. Should be a recall since this is definitely a hazard. My car was 6 weeks out of warranty with 30844 miles on it do I had to pay nearly $500 for the repair. And after reading reports, it may recur.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that after coming to a complete stop and shifting the vehicle into PARK, the "Action Required Shift to Park" warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was turned off however, the instrument panel lights remained powered on. The contact exited the vehicle and an audible alert was sounded indicating that the vehicle was still on and running. The contact was also unable to securely lock the vehicle. The contact was unable to start the vehicle the following day because the battery had drained overnight. The contact stated that the failure occurred three times previously however, the battery had not been drained on those occasions. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer, where it was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 32,400.

Intermittently after I put the Trans. in park and shut off the engine I get a message to shift trans. to park. I repeat the process of starting and stopping engine and shifting in and out of park several more times. I can't leave the vehicle until the message stops appearing. If I get out and shut the door the radio keeps playing and doors will not automatically lock. I'm concerned that I have an electrical short and might catch fire. I park in a garage at home and could lose my home or life if it caught fire I have an appointment with my dealer 2/7/2022. As of this date I have not reported the issue to anyone. The problem started just before Christmas and stopped for several weeks and now it's back again. There are no pre-warnings before the issue occurs.

Stopped at a red light in left lane of a two way highway. When light turned green car stalled out. Steering locked and brakes locked. Got truck to side of road. Lights and radio still worked. Truck would not turn over or start. Dashboard was fully lit. Had towed to dealer. According to dealer it was starter and flywheel

Left rear light side-marker assembly is not functional after 3 years in service and less than 29,000 miles. The side marker indicator inside the vehicle flashes rapidly (in quick succession) when the left blinker is applied. This indicated to me that a bulb was out. Initially, all lights were working when inspecting and inside flasher was quickly blinking. After checking multiple times, the left rear blinker finally stopped working altogether. This left rear indicator mark prevents others from knowing which direction I'm turning unless I stick my left arm out the window. The vehicle was taken in to dealership. Dealership said it needed the light assembly replaced at a cost of ~$867. We may have this done outside of an OEM dealership due to cost.

When I put the car in PARK, turn the vehicle off, with my foot on the brake; the dashboard relentlessly signals to put the vehicle in Park. It will not stop this notice until I stop/start the car a few times or repeatedly press the gear shift lever. It happens intermittently, but at least 3-4 times a week. As a woman, the idea of going shopping and coming out to a dead car battery from this problem is always in the front in my mind and some stranger “helping” me, instead mugs me. I am terrified that it will cause an electrical fire under my carport and burn my house down with us inside. I haven’t had my Premiere long and absolutely love it and I have been a Chevy fan for years, but I have always felt Chevrolet took care of their customers. Is it going to take a terrible loss for these Traverse to be recalled?

When I put the car in PARK and turn the vehicle off, the dashboard signals a notice to put the vehicle in Park. It will not stop the notice until I stop / start the car a few times.

Getting “shift to park” message repeatedly when car is IN park. Sometimes can short term fix with go back to drive and then shifting to park again. Worried this will drain battery or cause car to roll out of driveway if it’s not reading that it’s in park.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle a strong burning odor was present coming from the air vents inside the cabin of the vehicle. Later it was discovered that oil leaked from the vehicle onto the floor of the garage. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 19,000.

I have had two accidents in this vehicle and reported to GM that my air bags did not deploy each time. The first accident was almost $20,000 in damage. The second accident disabled my car on impact and smoke filled my car where the airbags were. We hit a large deer head on going 60mph on the interstate and I had my toddlers with me. GM said last accident there was no faulty airbags. They assure me my vin is not involved but due to the severity of the accident I believe otherwise

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while attempting to park the vehicle and shifting into PARK, the shift to PARK warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that she attempted ten times while shifting back from DRIVE to PARK or restart the vehicle to recognize that the gear shifter was in PARK. The contact called Reliable Chevrolet (9901 Coors Blvd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114: (505) 216-2993) & Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet (7201 Lomas Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110: (505) 633-2215) and the dealers were made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that 5 days were needed to diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

When the vehicle is in park and turned off, will receive shift to park errors. have to turn the car back on and off multiple times and reput the car to park to get the code off. The vehicle will not turn off with shift to park message. This is a huge safety issue

My 2019 Chevrolet Traverse LT with ~28,600 miles on it within the past month has been providing me with a 'Shift to Park' error on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when I have already shifted it to Park and shut the car off (engine no longer running). The shifter assembly is not recognizing that I in fact do not have it in gear and the car is in Park. The error does not go away until I re-start the car, put it in gear, shift back to park, wait a few seconds, and then shut the car off again.

I get a “shift to park” message after I have turned my car off even though it is in park. The warning does not shut off so I have to remain in my car and turn the car on/off and switch it into gear and out of gear in an attempt to get the warning to stop. At times, I have had to leave the parking spot and drive around more then park again to get the warning to stop. My car is three years old. This should NOT be happening on a three year old car. My car not recognizing what gear it’s in certainly isn’t safe.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that upon placing the vehicle into PARK, the shift to park warning message would appear on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the contact had to readjust the gear shifter or restart the vehicle to correct the failure; however, those options do not correct the failure every time. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

I kept getting a shift to park error. The dealership diagnosed it as a problem with the gear shift wiring harness. It was a few thousand miles passed warranty so I had to pay about $300 out of pocket for it. It's been less than 2 weeks since it was "fixed" and I am now having the same issue.

Intermittent "Action Required" alert on the display to "Shift to Park" after already shifting into park and turning off the car. Sometimes after jiggling the gearshift it will stop. Sometimes have to turn the car back on and shift into reverse and park again. Sometimes have to do this several times. Appears, after research online, this is a known issue under TSB 19-NA-206, September 2019. I have scheduled to take to the dealership for inspection. But it also sounds like the recommended repair is only a band-aid that will require a further repair.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that after slowing down and coming to a stop, the START/STOP function activated however, the vehicle failed to restart. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer who diagnosed that either the starter or 350 Amp Fuse had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the bearings were also loose and needed to be tightened. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 22,200.

On Thursday 9/9/21, I found my car's alarm going off while parked in a parking lot. I was able to silence the alarm and enter the vehicle and turn it on. As I was driving toward the exit of the parking lot the windshield wipers went on, on their own and I was unable to turn them off. Then I lost control of my steering, several warnings and alerts went off on the dashboard and the car powered off in the middle of the road without any warning. Shortly after was able to turn the car on again and reverse and get it into a spot in the parking lot where again I lost steering, several alerts came on the dashboard and the car powered down again. I had my two young children in the car and we could have been hit, if this occurred on a highway this could have been deadly! I was able to start the car again, drove it around the parking lot safely for a few minutes and then the incident occurred a third time in the exit lane of the parking lot. We called for a tow truck. The car would not turn on again for several hours. When it did turn on it was moved to a safe location where it powered off spontaneously a 4th time. When the car was picked up by the tow truck the following morning the car alarm was going off again and the doors were locking and unlocking spontaneously on their own. Onstar sent a diagnostic report indicating an issue with the Engine and Transmission System. The vehicle was towed to Millenium Chevrolet in Hempstead. They were not able to check the car until Monday 9/13/21. They replaced the battery, but were unable to identify the source of the problem. After the battery was replaced, we were alerted that the horn was not working and the doors were locking and unlocking spontaneously.

When car is put into park and I turn off the car with the push button, I get a message of “shift to park”. The car is in park but the car doesn’t think it’s in park and won’t fully shut down. Warning chimes continue. Tapping the shifter control forward to the radio seems to kick it back in and the car shuts down with no more warning chimes. Looked this up online and there are numerous people complaining about this and it happening to them. Sounds like the whole shifter assembly needs replacing. It doesn’t matter if I’m close to home or a thousand miles away, what happens when I can’t tap the shifter to get it to shut down completely? Safety and mechanical issue that has to be addressed and fixed. Thank you.

Car began to not shift to park when attempting to park. Dealer said it was a common problem and it is a huge safety issue as if the car is not engaging in park it could be in an unsafe condition on an incline and begin to roll. There maybe other issues I'm not even aware of but I feel gm should recall this defect if it especially a known issue among many vehicles.

After shifting my 2019 Chevrolet Traverse into park, an “Action Required” message appears on the dash that says, “Shift to Park”. But, the car is already in park. Due to this action required message the car will not properly shut off.The only way I am able to shut the car off is by restarting it and shifting into reverse or drive, back to park. Sometimes it takes up to six times of going through this process to get the car to shut off. This issue has been going on for over a month. I arrived at the dealership for a scheduled oil change and the car did the same as I parked in their garage. I had a tech come out to see what was going on. He told me that Chevrolet was aware that this was happening in at least 4 models, including my Traverse. He immediately knew what the fix was. It was explained to me that there was a bulletin, but not a recall for this issue. The dealership said they could fix it for $140, and because I was 7,000 out of my bumper to bumper I had no choice but to pay the amount. If Chevrolet knows this is an issue then they should be covering the cost to repair it. It is bulletin #19-NA-206. They installed a SL-N-Switch and an N-Harness. They also removed transmission range selector and removed and replaced wiring harness on the selector to a newer design, that’s supposed to stop the issue.

"Shift to park!" Keeps coming up on my dash, and sometimes nothing works. I get this message every time I park just about.

When I shift to park, the system doesn’t recognize I’m in park and won’t let me turn the car off. I have to jiggle the shift? and sometimes have to put it in a different gear before trying to put it in park again.

We have major paint chipping and peeling issues, the gear selector will not recognize park at times and we have had the catalytic converter replaced in the 2.5 years of owning (we are the only owners).

My 2019 Chevy Traverse was purchased new in August of 2018. It has approx 34,500 miles on it as of 7/26/21. Tire size: 255/55 R 20 107H. The vehicle has been in for regular maintenance/service at the original dealership since it was purchased. Around March 2021, I noticed the outside tread on all 4 tires becoming brittle and breaking off. There are small chunks of the tread missing and some type of thread showing where the chunks have come off. I went to my local Costco and the associate in the tire department told me that I should not be driving on it because the tires could blow. I wanted a second opinion and went to my local Discount Tire. The associate told me that what was happening was called "chunking" and it was not common (actually rare to happen) and I should call Continental Tire. No alarms/warning lamps have gone off due to this issue.

Shift to Park alert and gear parking issue. This is a big issue with GM cars/SUVs after I searched online. Looks like a manufacturer parts’ defects in gear box.

When placing the car in park, a "shift into park" warning appears on the dashboard even though the vehicle is actually in park. The problem appears to be a shift relay that is not making contact with the metal tab that depresses the sensor telling the computer the vehicle is in fact in park. Not thinking the car is in park can cause a driver to panic the car is going to roll into another car, fixed object or another person. This problem has been confirmed multiple times and there is currently a GM bulletin out on the problem. The fix is to replace the entire shift assembly at the owner's cost - $500. The only warning message received is '"shift into park".

Driving on freeway all of a sudden sunroof just shattered

PURCHASED 3/1/2019 PROBLEMS SINCE 4/18/2019 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING. REMOTE LEFT IN VEHICLE WARNING WHEN NO KEY IN VEHICLE, REAR VIEW MIRROR OVERHEATING (OVER 110*) CELLPHONE CHARGING PORT OVERHEATING, BLIND SPOT DETECTION MALFUNCTIONING, FORWARD COLLISION DETECTION MALFUNCTIONING, NAVIGATION AND IPHONE AUDIO CONNECTIONS MALFUNCTIONING. MIRROR WAS REPLACED ONCE. REAR CAMERA WAS REPLACED TWICE. THIS WAS AFTER A GM SERVICE PERSON WAS SENT DOWN TO ROTOLO TO LOOK INTO IT. SINCE THEN NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED. SERVICE REPS KEEP SAYING THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS. WE HAVE VIDEO AND PHOTOS OF ISSUES. MATT WOLF WAS THE GM INVESTIGATOR. HE NEVER RETURNS CALLS/EMAILS. YESTERDAY AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO DIFFERENT GM DEPARTMENTS, I WAS INFORMED HE NO LONGER WORKS WITH THE COMPANY. THE LAST THING I WAS TOLD WAS TO WAIT FOR A CALL TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO ROTOLO SO ANOTHER GM SERVICE PERSON WOULD BE SENT. THAT WAS OVER 2 MONTHS AGO. SINCE NO ONE HAS CALLED I SCHEDULED ANOTHER SERVICE FOR SAT. VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AND HAS TO SIT PARKED. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. PROBLEMS ONGOING SINCE 4/2019.

MY6 VEHICLE IS TAKING 6 OR 7 TIMES TO SHUT OFF WHEN IN PARK. IT KEEPS SAYING "PUT VEHICLE IN PARK" AND IT ALSO SAYS ADVISORY PROBLEM. I CALLED CIOICA CHEVROLET IN PRINCETON NJ ON APRIL 5, 2021, AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL BOOKED UP AND IT WILL BE A VERY LONG WAIT, I ASK IF O COULD DROP IT OFF AND GET A LOANER CAR AND THEY SAID NO, I AM HOPING THIS DONT GET WORSE AND THEN I WILLBE VERY MAD, THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY ABOUT 9 TRAVERSE IN WITH THE SAME PROBLE. PLEASE GET THE TO TAKE THE IN AND GIVE ME A LOANER

WHEN TURNING OFF THE TRAVERSE, A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE IS BEING DISPLAYED DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING IN PARK WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW THE INTERNAL ELECTRONICS (SUCH AS THE RADIO) TO TURN OFF WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES SHIFTING OUT OF AND BACK INTO PARK OR HITTING THE BUTTONS ON THE SHIFTER FIX THE PROBLEM. RESEARCH SHOWS THERE ARE AT LEAST 2 GM SERVICE BULLETINS WHICH COVER A NUMBER OF THEIR DIFFERENT VEHICLES. SERVICE IS SCHEDULED WITH THE DEALER TO FIX, BUT MILEAGE PUTS IT JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, SO WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH THEY CHARGE FOR THIS MANUFACTURING/DESIGN DEFECT.

I TOOK MY SON TO MY WORK WHEN WE ARRIVED I TOLD MY SONS TO TAKE THEIR SEATBELTS OFF. MY SON STARTED SCREAMING IT'S TIGHTENING IT'S TIGHTENING. WITH HIM BEING IN A BOOSTER IT PINNED HIM HE TRIED TO WIGGLE OUT AND GOT EVEN MORE STUCK I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO TRIED TO REMOVE AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IT UNHOOKED FROM THE BUCKLE BUT HE WAS STILL STRAPPED TO THE CAR. HE STARTED BLEEDING FROM HIS NOSE AND MOUTH AND SAID HIS SHOULDER HURTS. I HAD ANOTHER CO WORKER TRY TO HELP ME OUT AND WE WERE UNABLE TO UNTIL I HAD TO CUT THE SEATBELT

THE TIRE TREAD IS COMING OFF IN CHUNKS FROM THE INSIDE TREAD OF THE TIRE. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW FROM CHEVROLET AND THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES. TIRE IS A CONTINENTAL ECO PLUS+ DOT A3HH WC4F 0619

SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE- CAR WILL NOT SHIFT EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN PARK.

ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL NEEDS SERVICED. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I STARTED THE TRAVERSE AND REMAINED ON. WHEN I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE THE CODE READ A CODE OF 300. DEALER STATED THAT CODE IS FOR CYLINDER MISFIRE NOT SURE HOW MANY. RESEARCHED AND FOUND SERVICE UPDATE N192281810 THAT READS MISFIRE DUE TO CARBON TRACKING RELEASED DATE OF MARCH 2019. IT IS THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS DURING THE SERVICE PORTION OF THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD. MY VEHICLE IS NOW PAST THAT AND IS MISFIRING AND READING OUT THIS CODE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF MILES DUE TO FAULTY COILS, COIL PACK OR SPARK PLUGS. IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED SERVICE UPDATE IT STATES THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY GM. ATS, CTS, CAMARO AND TRAVERSE. WHEN DOING FURTHER RESEARCH THERE IS NOT A WAY TO FIND OUT IF DEALER DID THE SERVICE WHEN GM SENT OUT THE SERVICE UPDATE. I LOOKED BACK AT ALL MY RECORDS FOR SERVICES THAT THE DEALER DONE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND SEE NO INDICATION THAT THIS SERVICE WAS PERFORMED.

"SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE APPEARS AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TRYING TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. VEHICLE IS CLEARLY IN PARK, BUT VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO RECOGNIZE IT IS IN PARK. HAPPENS INTERMITTENLY. TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR, I WILL NEED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THEN BACK TO PARK. SOMETIMES IT FIXES ON THE FIRST TIME, OTHER TIMES I NEED TO DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES.

MY VEHICLE IS AT 30,738 MILES AND RECENTLY I BEGAN SMELLING WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO SMELLED IT AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, NEAR THE THE HOOD OF THE CAR NEAR THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE BRAZING/WELDING POINT ON THE FUEL RAIL WAS FAULTY AND THE FUEL INJECTOR HAD BROKEN OFF AND WAS SPRAYING FUEL ALL UNDERNEATH THE CAR. IT WAS "TWO OR THREE TURNS AWAY FROM A CATASTROPHIC EVENT". THE CAR WAS HAD FUEL SPRAYED ALL NEAR THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND WAS GETTING DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME (MINUTES/HOURS) BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE OR EXPLODED WITH THE AMOUNT OF LOOSE FUEL PRESENT AND I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN TIME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL RAIL AND SEVERAL OTHER PARTS. AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME. THERE WERE STILL FUEL VAPORS COMING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND NEAR THE HOOD OF THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID ALL OF THE INSULATION AROUND/ IN THE ENGINE WAS SATURATED IN FUEL STILL. SO THEY WASHED THE INSULATION AND PUT IT BACK IN THE VEHICLE. IT STILL SMELLS LIKE FUEL VAPORS IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE.

CAR WAS TOWED AND INSURANCE CALLED, NOTIFIED GM THE NEXT DAY AFTER SEEING A RECALL ON LEAKING TRANSMISSION (THIS VIN IS NOT ON THAT LIST). GM BASICALLY SAID THAT ONCE WE CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR US. INSURANCE COMPANY (ALLSTATE) SAID THEY WILL LOOK INTO THIS. CAR WAS A LEASE AND WE HAVE NO RECOURSE. IT SEEMS FISHY TO ME THAT SOME MODELS HAVE A RECALL AND THIS APPEARS TO BE SOME KIND KIND OF LEAK FROM THAT AREA. IF GM DOESN'T CARE HOW WILL THEY KNOW IF THIS RECALL NEEDS TO INVOLVE OTHER MODELS AND VIN'S OF THIS CAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE LEASED THE CAR SO WE LOSE AND CAN'T RECOUP ANYTHING NOR WILL THEY WORK WITH US TO LOWER THE COST OF A REPLACEMENT. WHAT IF MY YOUNG CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR OR MY MOTHER IN LAW WHO HAS A TOUGH TIME GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR, SOMEONE COULD OF BEEN INJURIED OR WORST. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CAER ABOUT THIS. THIS HAPPENED IN NORWALK CT ON EAST ROCKS RD 06851. SUNNY CLEAR DAY CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD WHEN IT LOST POWER. NO RECENT WORK ON CAR, NO ACCIDENTE NORWALK CT FIRE INCIDENT REPORT 21-001007

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 TRAVERSE, WHEN I AGGRESSIVE BREAKING AND DOING A U-TURN I CANNOT ACCELERATE AFTERWARDS, WHEN I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE. I'VE BEEN ALMOST HIT MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE AFTER DOING A U-TURN. I HAVE MULTIPLE VEHICLES AND I KEEP FORGETTING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT WHEN I'M DRIVING IT.

I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT THE SWAY BAR HAD BROKEN IN HALF. THIS IS GOING TO BE A $2,000+ REPAIR FOR A SOLID PIECE OF METAL THAT SHOULDN'T SNAP INTO LIKE A TWIG. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ANYWHERE ELSE EXCEPT FOR THE SCHOOL WHERE I WAS GOING SLOW.

WHEN I SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND TURN OFF THE CAR A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS THAT TELLS ME THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK AND THERE IS A RINGING BELL SOUND THAT WON'T STOP. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AGAIN AND THEN OFF SHIFTING THRU THE GEARS (SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES) TO GET THE MESSAGE AND BELL TO STOP.

VEHICLE SHIFT TO PARK. WHEN PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND DISPLAYS ON THE DASH "SHIFT TO PARK"

I RECENTLY HAD A CRASH IN MY 2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE IMPACT HIT MY DRIVER DOOR AND FRONT END OF MY CAR. THE VEHICLE THAT HIT MY CAR WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 45 AND 50 MILES AN HOUR. EVERY AIRBAG IN THEIR VEHICLE DEPLOYED HOWEVER EVEN WITH THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SYSTEM OVERRIDES MANUAL MODE. IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS WHILE DRIVING IN DARK CONDITIONS BUT DOES NOT DIM THE LIGHTS IN A TIMELY MANNER WHEN OTHER TRAFFIC IS PRESENT. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BLIND ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR ANNOY LEADING VEHICLES.

MY VEHICLE WAS OFF, PARKED AND LOCKED. MY CAR WAS ON A SOMEWHAT FLAT SURFACE AND ROLLED INTO A TREE. THE SAME DAY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES FROM MY HOME, PARK FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 HOURS AND RETURN HOME WITHOUT KEYS. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT AND PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE OF MY VEHICLE.

CRUISING AT FREEWAY SPEED, PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS PETTAL AND TRANS UP SHIFTS AND GOES TO A LOWER GEAR AND JERKS SO HARD IT FILLS LIKE YOU HAVE HIT FROM THE REAR. IT DID THIS 5 TIMES.

VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. COULD NOT ACCELERATE. STRONG CHEMICAL ODOR.

SUNROOF DEVELOPED A MASSIVE LEAK. THE VEHICLE DID NOT LEAK WHILE SITTING ONLY WHILE IN MOTION. THE LEAK WAS AT THE FORWARD PART OF THE SUNROOF. THE LEAK SOAK THE HEADLINER, OVERHEAD CONSOLE CONTROLS AND RAN INTO THE CENTER STACK OF INSTRUMENTS. DIAGNOSED BY SANDY SANSING CHEVROLET, PENSACOLA, FL TO BE A BENT SUNROOF FRAME. HAVE BEEN IN THEIR REPAIR FACILITY SINCE OCT 2019 WITH NO PARTS AVAILABLE OR REPAIR IN SIGHT. CONTACTED GM AND WAS NOT GIVEN A REMEDY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CONTROL ARM FAILED AND WAS REPLACED AT FELIX CHEVROLET (3330 S FIGUEROA ST, LOS ANGELES, CA 9000, (213) 290-1925). ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE TANK WOULD NOT FILL UP. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER THREE TIMES, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN STOPPING THE VEHICLE, THE AUTO-STOP KICKS IN, WHICH SOMETIMES WORKS WELL. OTHER TIMES IT KILLS THE WHOLE CAR, SHUTTING IT DOWN COMPLETELY. THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER GOES BLACK LIKE THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF USING THE START/STOP BUTTON. SO THEN IT TAKES A BIT TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN TO GO. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US 6 TIMES NOW WITHIN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS THIS CAN BE A SAFETY CONCERN. ALSO WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES SOFT AND DROPS DOWN TO THE FLOOR. ALL THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY START BACK UP AFTER BEING STOPPED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A DRIVEWAY, IT WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING 50 MPH. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO A DITCH. THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY, CAUSING THE CONTACT'S HEAD TO STRIKE THE STEERING WHEEL.

THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,193.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE OF 2019, AND HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. TO THIS DATE THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT IS CAUSING IT, BUT IT CAUSES THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO LOSE POWER MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER JUST TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE IS A LOW WHINING SOUND. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS "NORMAL". THE STEERING COLUMN SHOULD NOT MAKE ANY NOISE. NOISES COMING FROM A STEERING COLUMN USUALLY INDICATE TROUBLE.

WHILE TRYING TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, IT HANGS UP MID-TRAVEL. APPLYING ADDITIONAL PRESSURE CAUSES THE PEDAL TO TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS "NORMAL". ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVEL SHOULD BE SMOOTH AND LINEAR; ANYTHING ELSE IS UNACCEPTABLE. JUST ASK TOYOTA.

THE EDGE OF THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH HAND RELEASE LEVER IS VERY SHARP. I CUT MY FINGER TRYING TO FIND THE LEAVER TO OPEN THE HOOD. THIS PART SHOULD HAVE SMOOTH EDGES TO PREVENT INJURY.

ON JUNE 20, 2019, I BOUGHT A 2019 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO DEFECTS. ON JULY THE 18 WE TOOK VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, DUE TO THERE WAS A VERY STRONG ODOR WHEN INSIDE THE CAR. IT WAS CAUSING BLOODY NOSES AND BREATHING ISSUES FOR MY FAMILY. THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT IT COULD BE TASTED. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES TO DIAGNOSE CAR AS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE TOOK IT HOME. ON AUGUST 1, 2019, THE VEHICLE STARTS GOING CRAZY WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WHILE MY WIFE IS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS THE HORN, LIGHTS, AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS START TURNING ON AND OFF AND THERE WAS A LOUD UGLY SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR HAD TO BE PARKED TO AND I HAD TO GO DRIVE CAR HOME DUE THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS OF VEHICLE. AS I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, I COULD SMELL A BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. SO WE TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP. AFTER BEING ON THE SHOP FOR ABOUT A WEEK , WE GOT OUR CAR BACK AND ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP IT WAS FIXED, ALONG WITH THE SMELL THEY TOLD US IT WAS A RARE SITUATION BUT THAT WE HAD MOLD AND MILDEW COMING OUT OF THE AC UNIT WHICH WAS CAUSING THE ODOR AND HENCE BLOODY NOSE AND BREATHING ISSUES. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE BATTERY WAS THROWING SPARKS AND WAS BURNING ELECTRICAL WIRES IN THE ENGINE. AT THIS POINT WE JUST WANTED OUR CAR BACK. THE FOLLOWING DAY MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE PUT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION DUE TO DEFECTIVE CAR, WHILE DRIVING THE TRAVERSE IT TURNED OFF ON THEM WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. MY WIFE AND KIDS ARE TRAUMATIZED AND SCARED WHILE BEING PUT IN THESE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, YOUR VEHICLE HAS NOT PERFORMED WELL AND IS NOT SAFE EVEN AFTER IT WAS MADE CLEAR TO US THAT IT WAS SAFE AND FIXED.

ON JULY 11, 2019, WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE, AN ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH STATED, 'POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION.' AT THE TIME OF THIS ERROR MESSAGE, POWER STEERING HAD FAILED AND MANEUVERING OF THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT. DURING THIS INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A CHEVY DEALER AND THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND STOPPED AT LIGHT. THE CAR COMPLETELY CUT OFF. I HAD TO PUT IN PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. THATS WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. RECEIVED AN ADVANCED DIAGNOSIS THAT STATED ISSUE WITH ENGINE/TRANMISSION SERVICE WITHIN ONE DAY. TOOK CAR IN 7/16 AT 7:30 AND GOT BACK THAT DAY STATING THAT CAR TRANSMISSION COMMUNICATION DROPPED. THE VERY NEXT DAY 7/17 AM, SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK THE CAR THAT AFTERNOON BACK TO DEALER AND IT HAD BEEN THERE SINCE. THEY STATE THEY ARE WAITING TALK TO GMC. NOTHING YET.

ALL 4 DOORS HAVE BECOME MISS ALIGNED 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING, TRAVERSE IS A NEW CAR NOT PREOWNED. THERE'S A RUBBING NOISE THAT COMES FROM ALL DOORS WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHEN CAR TURNS LEFT OR RIGHT AT AN ANGLE. AS DAYS PASS THE RUBBING NOISE FROM THE DOORS HAS INCREASED AND CAN BE HEARD WHILE MAKING A STOP AND WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT.

THERE ARE CONTINUOUS DEFECTS AND CONCERN FOR SAFETY REGARDING MY 2019 CHEVY TRAVERSE. I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 TRAVERSE REDLINE ON MARCH 22, 2019 AND THE PROBLEMS BEGAN WITHIN TWO WEEKS AND LESS THAN 400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING MY NEW VEHICLE ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD AND BEGAN TO SLOWLY PRESS THE BRAKE WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WHEN THE 'SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST' ALERT APPEARED, THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING AND CLICKING NOISE WHILE SHAKING AND FELT LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED A VACUUM BOOSTER SENSOR WHICH THEY SAID WAS FAULTY. THEN TWO MONTHS LATER, WITH ONLY 1800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN WHERE THE 'SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST' ALERT APPEARED, THE BRAKES MADE THE SAME NOISES AND SHAKING. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE. DURING THIS SECOND OCCURRENCE, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUGGESTED IT MUST HAVE BEEN A 'BAD BATCH' OF PARTS AND OFFERED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE AND DURING THE LESS THAN TWO MILE DRIVE HOME, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED FOR THE THIRD TIME. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. AFTER REPLACING THE SAME PART FOR A THIRD TIME, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN. ULTIMATELY, THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS & ENGINEER ARE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND MERELY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE SAME PART FOR THE FOURTH TIME. WHILE THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS OFFERED TO CONTINUALLY REPLACE THE SAME PARTS, THEY ALSO ARE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE AND STATED I NEED TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND PERHAPS THERE WILL BE A NEW PART UPDATED IN THE FUTURE.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE FUEL ECONOMY SHUTDOWN SYSTEM AND IT'S NOT WORKING. IT USED TO SHOT DOWN WHILE ON A STOP AND THEN RESTART WHENEVER THE BREAKS WERE NOT ENGAGED NOW IT'S NOT DOING ANYTHING. THE AUTO STOP DOESN'T WORK IT'S STAYS ON A HIGH IDLE AT ALL TIMES

WHEN BRAKING TO DO A U-TURN AND NOT STOPPING THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND DOESN'T COME BACK ON RIGHT AWAY. AND IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT FROM A CAR FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION. WE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT FIVE TIMES NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.
