Happy with Traverse

I bought a new 2009 Traverse LTZ almost a week ago and really love it. It is a great vehicle and I have no regrets going from an Acura TL to the Traverse. I am surprised how easy it is to drive and back up, and it's also easy to park. I was concerned about it being larger than my Acura, but so far it only seems to be a wonderful advantage. As for all the extras on this model, I love them all, and especially the navigation system and the seat COOLERS, which are incredible in the Texas heat.
Perhaps one of the things is contributing to my satisfaction is that I live "just around the corner" from Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine, Texas. This is the fourth vehicle that we have purchased there. The service is great and the staff is all so friendly and helpful. The main reason that I enjoy shopping there is that they have a "no-hassle" approach to selling. We worked with Nate Fitzgerald, and he went out of his way to find the car, color, and package that I wanted. A million thanks to Nate. I am hopeful that he will be available to sell us our next car or truck. Nate made the process efficient, easy, and most of all a lot of fun (can't believe that I am saying that about buying a car!).
In closing, I just want to say again that I highly recommend the Traverse, and wholeheartedly recommend working with Nate and Classic Chevrolet. Here's hoping that you all have just as nice an experience when you purchase your next vehicle.

We just purchased a new 2010 2LT in Granite. I'm amazed at the turning radius. So far (230 miles) we love it!
PS: I also had a no start at 4000 miles and remembered a recall/TSB about a Transmission problems like no start or coming out of park and rolling if i recall. when i had the no start(everything dead) took the stick shift put it in neutral then drive then back to park and the car started. GM claims my vehicle isn't one une the recall but i think it should be and they just don't want a major recall like Toyota's sticking pedal. of course a recent servicing at Dealer the Dealers famous words "can't duplicate or working as normal" because many dealers only get paid for a small percentage of the work per car per day,so example if you have 5 concerns they may only get reimbursed for 1.
But, I didn't need to worry. The Traverse went right around them all through the deepest of the snow and never spun a wheel! We had to take some kids home and the performance in the snow on those unplowed roads was as good as my big diesel 4x4. I'm thrilled knowing that I don't have to worry about the wife getting stuck somewhere! I was very impressed with the performance of everything but the wipers - the iced up quickly so I'll be sure to put de-icer in the washer bottle!
jwally, that's not exactly correct. The dealer will be reimbursed for all authorized service work. The trouble isn't the work, it's the diagnosis. GM gives the dealers 15 minutes to find a problem. If it isn't found, GM will not pay for another minute. If the dealer were to take 6 hours and finally found the trouble, they'd only get repaid for 15 minutes of diagnostic time and whatever time is allowed to make the repair. That's why you see that "Working as normal" - because they only spent a few minutes looking for it.
That's why I like Jeff Barnes Chevrolet. I had a problem with my Duramax truck. It wasn't a problem that showed up on the scanner. It took them two days to find it, but they did and they did fix it. That was about 90,000 miles ago and the truck still runs strong. If you don't like the service department at your dealer, go to another dealer.
When my car quit around New Years and had to be towed, the gear selector would not move at all, so I could not get it out of park.
LOL, Wait and see, please report back after service claims can't duplicate concerns or some BS like that on service slip. If you bring it in when they open see how many GM mechanics driving foreign cars.
A WEEK AGO, who wouldn't love a brand new car the first week? now its months later do you have an update?
