Chevrolet Complaint - For SUCKERS ONLY ---Chevrolet Traverse - Chevrolet Traverse-- (terrible fuel milage)
Chevrolet Traverse-- (terrible fuel milage) - Complaint
RENO, NEVADA -- I bought this vehicle in April of 2009,drove it through break-in around town for 1000 miles.
I then had Chevrolet change the oil and filter
such that I could enjoy my new Traverse on a 2000 mile trip to Washington state !
This Traverse was the most uncomfortable of
any vehicle I have ever driven in all my 64 years ! It was not stable at highway speeds and it drove as if it were a truck with alignment trouble ! The advertised fuel mileage was way above actual mileage. Actual fuel mileage for 2000
miles on the highway was ninteen (19).Actual fuel mileage for around town was 12,and it NEVER improved !(Its a 6 cylinder )
After the trip, I took it to my Chevrolet dealer only to be told that the mileage I experienced was good for the TRAVERSE !
Too bad they told me the truth only AFTER I purchased it ! I have tried to contact Chevrolet no less than FOUR times and all my requests for help have been totally ignored.
GOOD THING PRES. OBAMA NOW owns 60 some percent of this company----He'll make them fix it ! LOL What to do ?
All requests for Chevrolet help have been documented-------for all the good it will do !

when you test drove it, did you take it on the highway?
i have owned 5 new vehicles, and i have discovered the advertised milage doesn't always seem to be what i get. there are many many variables in determining it. the way one drives, the use of ac, road conditions, and even number of passengers and over all weight. the displayed milage is from smooth test track and computer tests, with 1 driver and zero extra weight.

Of course I drove the vehicle on the highway--How do you determine overall fuel milage or any other fuel milage on a test drive ? EPA should advise the public of this test of estimated milage--in fact--I did call the EPA in Wash,DC and they told me a completely different test than the one MR.Madconsumer described !

The EPA figures do say they are estimates, not actual mileage. And I just blow off anything a dealer says about x number of miles per gallon - it is all hype. This is why you need to read unbiased reviews such as Consumer Reports.
