THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS RESET ERRATICALLY AFTER UNLOCKING WITH KEY FOB. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES. I HAVE REPLACED THE MIRROR TWICE ONCE AT MY EXPENSE AND ONCE BY DEALER. THE DEALER HAS PROGRAMMED THE KEY FOB. EVERY ONE OF THESE WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE THE ISSUE BUT NONE DID. WHEN BACKING IN THE DARK THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOUR MIRRORS ARE REALLY LOOKING.

I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2009 TRAVERSE. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TEMPERATURE GAUGES FOR THE AC AND HEATER. TOOK IT TO GMC DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE GAUGES.
