Hi everyone. New 2020 Traverse Premier AWD Red Line owner as of June 2020 - I just crested 4,000 miles the other day. I am “mostly” in love with my Traverse. The size, the look, the features - definitely not unhappy with my purchase overall!
I do have one question regarding the transmission. I refuse to drive the vehicle in standard “Drive” currently because I absolutely loathe the stop/start and can’t believe Chevy didn’t offer a simple button to turn it off. My past two vehicles both had a simple button that I could press which kills the stop/start. I always operate the vehicle in “L9” no matter how short or long my trip is. I’ve noticed on occasion that when I shift to “L” the vehicle won’t go past L1. This is very intermittent. After a minute or so, it’ll let me go up to the usual L9. Tonight, I was at a stop light and when I took off, I noticed the display just said “L” ... the stop/start randomly engaged and then it appeared to read “L4” where it stayed. I shifted into Drive and then was home. Any idea what could be causing that and is this something I should pursue with the dealer sooner rather than later?
Also what are opinions on items such as the Stop/Start Disabler the I found from Range Technology? I wouldn't be opposed to buying one so I just can put this whole stop/start thing out of my head entirely. 😀
Overall, I don’t love the transmission. I don’t think it’s as smooth as it could be for stop and go city style driving, but that’s just my opinion. Highway driving it seems to be a pleasure. Anyways, any thought you have would be appreciated! Thanks!
