Some Chevrolet Traverse owners report experiencing starting issues, such as the vehicle not responding when using the key fob, with no sound from the horn or exterior lights. A common factor identified is a dead key fob battery, which can hinder the vehicle's ability to start. Additionally, some owners encounter starter problems that prevent the engine from cranking. Weak or dead 12v batteries are also frequently cited as culprits when the engine cranks slowly or not at all. Furthermore, issues with the security system may arise, blocking the vehicle from starting if there are key fob malfunctions. Problems with the remote start feature can contribute to these starting difficulties as well. In cases where there is a complete electrical power loss in the vehicle, it may indicate a more significant electrical issue. If initial troubleshooting does not resolve the problem, it is recommended that owners seek professional help to avoid further damage.
