“My 2010 Traverse power steering went completely out. Still not working. My truck tends to roll some after being in park on the brakes. My windows power doesn't work thru driver door. My AC stop blowing thru front vents. My seatbelts doesnt work properly. My second row pops up and glide while sitting in the seat. This truck has many problems.”

NHTSA complaint #10579401, filed 2014-04, 60,000 miles

“I have had the power train repaired twice, once while under warranty, and then at cost. I have paid more than $2k on the repair and yet the check engine light stays on and a check of the error codes reveals the same problem. The vehicle has failed emissions testing as a result of the problem. I've seen numerous complaints on this site with the same issues. There's definitely a defect within this model year's engine system involving the power train. I am requesting an investigation and possible recall. I can't put out more money to fix a maintenance problem that will never be fixed. …”

NHTSA complaint #11096696, filed 2018-05, 120,000 miles

“When driving it on the highway, the check engine light came on in the car and flashed the words: traction control off, service stability, rear park assist off, engine power being reduced. The vehicle went from 70 MPH to about 25 MPH. I was almost hit by the other vehicles as this happened. The seatbelt has also not been latching fully and this morning the airbag sensor came on and said check the airbag system. But then went off after about 20 seconds, while I was stationary.this is clearly hazardous and makes driving to work and to my children's things impossible and extremely dangerous. …”

“I was driving on the interstate at approximately 55-60 MPH and merged right to take an off ramp to a side street when both side air bag curtains deployed without incident. There were four people in the vehicle at the time of incident and my wife suffered serious chest bruising from the seatbelt locking up. The seatbelt locking mechanism front passenger and front driver side will not retract. At the time of incident I was clearly the only thing on the road with no obstructions. This complaint should be taken very seriously and checked into by general motors for the safety of myself and others.”

NHTSA complaint #10475568, filed 2012-09, 49,000 miles

“Second row seat belt buckles are stiff and make it extremely uncomfortable where passengers have to sit sideways so that the buckle doesn't hurt them, leaving them prone to injury in case of an accident. My mother bruised her hip after sitting in the second row when I had to brake hard after I was cut off by another drive. Almost everyone that sits in the middle of the second row refuses to put on their seat belt because it hurts theirs hips. Also, this makes it hard to buckle in a child with a booster seat as there is very little room to click in the seat belt with the seat in place. …”
