Chevrolet Traverse Steering Safety Report | Mar 21, 2014
Reported on Mar 21, 2014
| MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2014. ON FRIDAY MORNING, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, MY CAR ACCELERATED AND THEN SLOWED DOWN; GOING FROM APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH TO 15 MPH. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THE THROTTLE BODY HAD GONE BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACE. I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT A THROTTLE BODY SHOULD NOT BE GOING BAD THIS EARLY IN A CAR; AS A MATTER IF FACT I HAVE DRIVE SEVERAL CARS WELL OVER 100,000 MILES AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE TRANSPORTING PRECIOUS FAMILY CARGO. A CAR SHOULD NOT FORCIBLY BE DECREASING FROM 70 TO 15 MPH. HAVING A BAD CRASH IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS ALREADY HAD TO BE CHECKED. THIS VEHICLE IS PUTTING A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH. ANYMORE PROBLEMS AND IT WILL GET TRADED IN. I WILL NOT GET ANOTHER CHEVROLET FOR SURE. | |
