Description of the problem | 2/12/2014:car would not start in driveway -towed to jpchevrolet: control module fuse blown;replaced fuel pump control module -engine started and ran properly per dealership. (all covered under warranty). 7/24/14-check engine light on: timing chain issues gaskets/seals all under warranty.

On car-no choice had to fix and no help from gm in michigan - "could not help me" car is not even 6 years old -bought in december 2009 and cost $3473. 19 to fix. Also again replaced fuel pump after exactly one year - under warranty...... Am very unhappy and dissatisfied with this car and feel it is unsafe to drive. Gm is aware of transmission problems due to wave plate broken & metal going thruout transmission causing damage which was indicated on my receipts. Lots of problems with 2009 thru 2011 traverse. Am retired on social security and a pension not exorbitant - bought this car for me and my three young grandchildren and thought this would be my last car to purchase - was i ever wrong...... |
