Chevrolet Traverse Power Train Safety Report | May 18, 2011
Reported on May 18, 2011
| WHEN STOPPED ON ANY TYPE OF GRADE FROM APPROXIMATELY 2% OR GREATER, WITH TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL BACKWARDS WHEN MOVING THE RIGHT FOOT FROM DEPRESSING THE FOOT BRAKE TO THE ACCELERATOR IN PREPARATION TO CONTINUE IN THE FORWARD DIRECTION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE REFERENCE THIS COMPLAINT, WE WERE ADVISED THAT THIS IS COMMON IN THE NEWER FOUR AND SIX CYLINDER TRAVERS AND MALIBU AND THAT THEY ARE STILL FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT RESULT IN REPORTABLE CRASHES OR INJURIES, THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE COULD BE IN THE HUNDREDS, YET DUE TO MOST DAMAGE NOT BEING OF A REPORTABLE NATURE IT COULD BE YEARS BEFORE ENOUGH PEOPLE REPORT THIS AND CHEVROLET TAKES NOTICE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION REFERENCE THIS ISSUE. FYI, YOUR SYSTEM DID NOT RECOGNIZE MY LISTED VIN, BUT I COPIED IT STRAIGHT FROM MY VIN PLATE. *TR | |
