Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When putting the second row seat back into the seating position (after it was folded flat) part of the plastic on the seat belt buckle receptacle broke off and it no longer works. The buckle can just be pulled out now. There is a recall on this same issue so my vehicle's year, but Chevrolet said my vehicle isn't included.”
NHTSA complaint #10845990, filed 2016-03, 125,000 miles“Takata recall while driving on i70 south in the fast lane my 2009 chevy Traverse started to loose power, lights started flickering, and then ultimately stopped as I was partially in the roadway. State patrol had to come out and move the vehicle and assure my safety of exiting on this very dark interstate. The vehicle would not even start up again. And this was three days following a tune-up w/6 new coil packs, oil change w/filter and flow vent. And all this cost almost 600.00 bucks because coils are nearly 45.00 per coil. …”
NHTSA complaint #11241553, filed 2019-08, 160,000 miles“While driving the vehicle slipped out of drive and by the time I got home reverse was gone. I took it to the dealership, sunshine chevy in asheville nc, and it was only one month out of warranty. They tried to sell me a new transmission for $6,000.00 then after much fighting only charged a warranty deductable (never heard of such a thing) of $500.00. It has been five months and this new transmission is now doing the same thing! This car is a death trap. It rolls backwards when it is in drive, they have since claimed it is a design flaw and not covered under any warranty. …”
NHTSA complaint #10662811, filed 2014-12, 87,321 miles“We were driving about 50 miles and a trailer hit us from behind and the air safety bags were never activated had an impact in from and back and the seat belts didn't work either”
NHTSA complaint #11281977, filed 2019-11, 55,000 miles“While folding up the second row seating the middle seatbelt binds and has lead to broken cover. I am worried that it will lead to seatbelt failure because of the position of the belt placement.”
