Noise when starting
2011 Chevrolet Captiva 39000 miles
For months, I've been hearing a noise in some occasions when starting the engine. The belt tensioner has been replaced and recently timing belt itself. But the solution to the noise has not been found because it has never appeared while being in the agency. It does not necessarily appear when cold and it lasts for about 3 seconds; it sounds as if there was something loose inside. Hope you can help me find the solution.

The same happened to me, I changed both of the solenoids, the admission and the exhaust ones, and the noise disappeared. Those valves occasionally get stuck, not allowing the camshaft to work properly when cold.

Hi, your problem is in the alternator's pulley, which has a clutch inside and, depending on its demand, it hooks or not, making the noise you can hear. Once I changed it, the annoying noise disappeared.

Lights failure and traction control system 
Solved
2011 Chevrolet Captiva 61000 miles
Around two months ago, I started having problems with my Captiva. When driving, the traction control service indicator turns on and the lights intensity is reduced; the radio and all the sounds in general start turning off and on and the battery's voltage is quite variable. No failure has yet been found in the agency. Any help?

Most of this type of vans have that manufacturing problem you are mentioning, but it is easy to solve it. You need to take it to an electrician and ask him to check the battery harness that leads to the computer, which usually has a bad contact. Either fix it or replace the harness and your problems will disappear. Hope it helps you.
Which is the harness you are talking about, MALINDA?
Best answer (according to sydney)
It is the harness that goes from the battery to the computer, and is like plastic tube that protects the wires so that there are no short circuits. Inside that tube, there are lots of wires of different colours. Each of them has a plug, which can get damaged, causing the intensity of the lights to be reduced or even the radio to be turned off. Hope your problem can be solved in an electrical workshop.
My 2011 captiva slowly stopped while running flat. I pulled over and shift the gear back to park mode. Tried to start but it gave a hard start. I tried to kicked the accelerator several times and it worked, the engine was revived. What seems to be the problem?😭

The noise you're hearing from the propshaft and center bearing may indicate a problem with the universal joint. Loose universal joints can cause vibration and noise while driving. You may need to have the universal joint inspected and replaced if it is worn or damaged. It is also possible that the center bearing may need to be adjusted or replaced if it is not properly aligned.

Rattfunktioner, tror det är till radio och volym fungerar inte, även tutan fungerar inte. Enligt förra ägaren fungerade allt på besiktningen men jag får det inte till att fungera. Jag har kollat säkringarna men ser inte något fel

Problem after problem
2014 Chevrolet Captiva 53000 miles
Originally went to have the ignition changed. I bought my Captiva certified but every once in a while the key would not turn in the ignition. After I pulled out of the dealer I noticed I could not access my Sirius radio button. Nothing happened. Sirius sent a signal but no luck. I went back today and they said it was my radio. Since the car is under warranty, I decided to let them get a new radio. Now, my radio has to be turned way up for a good sound and it still isn't right. What the heck did they do to it? And why did I lose Sirius just because I had the ignition switched out?
