My Traverse is 10 months old. In the last month it has failed to start for no apparent reason. After three no-start episodes in two weeks I took her in to see the dealer. She stayed for a week. ...could not duplicate customer concern... I have found tsb's on this and it looks like I am not the only one having this problem. Are any of you experiencing this and if so, have you been able to get the problem resolved?
I hate having a vehicle I am scared to take off in at night for fear I may not be able to get back to the house because it won't start!
Suggestions?

If It Turns Over but doesnt crank Its most likely the fuel pump. Chevys are notorious for fuel pump problems. I had the same proble 2 years ago in my silverado had it replaced and less than a year later that one went out as well. It would work for a week or so then would start for a few days.
There is a known bug....
On some Traverses- with Navigation I believe- sometimes it will drain the battery.
There seems to be an issue with Nav draining the battery.
I believe it is a software patch to correct this.
I have a 09' Traverse 3 weeks old. I also have had the battery go dead 3 times overnight. After getting it towed to the dealer and them having it for a week, they can't find the problem. They say the battery tests fine and there is a .03 amp draw at rest. Any suggestions?

Tell the dealer its nice to know the battery tests fine, now tell them to fix your problem. Because their tech cannot or will not take the time to diagnose the problem and repair the problem correctly .... that should not be your concern. I don't know where you reside, check the qualifications for the state Lemon Law. For example, if a vehicle is in the shop for 30 (total, not consecutive )days with the same complaint, it becomes eligible for a buy back from Chevrolet, due to Lemon Law specifications. Laws may vary from state to state, but bottom line is this .... is is unjust for the service dept. to put the load on your shoulders if they are not concerned enough or intelligent enough to assist you AFTER THE SALE.
I speak with 35 years of experience with Chevrolet dealers as a Service Director, am now retired, thank God.
Traverse - Dead Battery?
