This car is a road hazard

This car is an accident waiting to happen!! I'm going down the highway at 70 mph and all of a sudden loose power. Warnings come on...Engine power reduced, traction control off, stabilizer off!!! And of course the service messages come with that. We live in North Dakota and there is snow for at least 6 months so the traction control is a priority for us, but not this car. As I said before going down the highway and all of a sudden you are down to 25mph at the most. This car has been in the shop more than in our driveway....a money pit!!!!

When I found out I was going too have another child, I needed to upgrade my ride. After 2 months of research, the Traverse won. (I went through all of makes/models from BMW to Cadillac.) I bought the 2LT with dual sunroof/dvd/nav combo. I love the ride and the feel of the truck. My family loves the roominess of the interior. After driving it a month, the fuel economy is lower than advertised BUT thats the only negative thing I have to say about the truck. You will love this Chevy.

Complete engine failure at 66,000 miles - perfect maintenance with records to verify and I spent 2 months arguing with GM before they gave me a $2,500 voucher for a new vehicle. If GM is the heartbeat of America - we’ve flatlined. I’m going back to Toyota - better built, better value, better customer service.

So many problems cheap interior, power .steering, stability trac, air conditioning failure when 2 yrs old.. Piece of crap.. Totally avoid.. I still own a 2000 power stoke f350. At 15 yrs old 170,000 miles still driven very often AC IS COLD still never refilled.. Only fix alternator and can positioning sensor... Total $ 250 cost.. In 15 yrs.. Going back to ford trucks.. Dependability and trade in value is important.. Shame on me for betraying Ford..

Traversing the 2011 Traverse

Best car I ever owned. My habit is to keep a car about 7 years, so I am looking to trade this in soon, but I fear that I will not get as good a car, as comfortable a car, will get something with more gadgets and less actual car (performance, ride, comfort).
