“I noticed there was a recall on similar year makes/models in regards to brake system failures. My 2015 chevy Traverse frequently has braking issues related to the recall. It often always has noise from the brake pedal when depressed that sounds like air being expelled from the line. This happens at multiple rates of speeds in multiple driving conditions; including slow city driving, highway at high speeds, in rain and in snow as well as dry days. This has occurred from the day I purchased the vehicle in august 2016. Is the 2015 chevy Traverse being investigated as well or will it be? …”
NHTSA complaint #11254983, filed 2019-09, 42,000 miles“I have a 2015 chevy Traverse with 13,000 miles. I was in a neighborhood after reversing out of the parking spot and driving down a short steep hill. I wanted to turn and tried to depress the brake pedal but it was not in the proper location. I glided, put in neutral and pressed the emergency brake to stop. It was at night and I did not see the location of the brake pedal other than that it was where it should be. I put in park and turned the car off and back on and the brake pedal appeared to be in the correct position and working. …”
NHTSA complaint #10787989, filed 2015-11, 13,000 miles“While driving the traction control, stabilitrac, all wheel drive, and abs systems will turn off and says to survive them. We have had the vehicle in to 3 different mechanic shops and the issue still persists. Each time a different fix . This time the wheel speed sensor in the rear was replaced. We have had the other rear wheel speed senor replaced previously as well as the rear wheel bearing hub assembly.”
NHTSA complaint #11572644, filed 2024-02“Every so often, when I brake, just before the car should come to a complete stop, the engine seems to rev and the car will keep moving forward a few feet. Chevy dealership had 3 different service technicians drive the car to try to recreate the problem, but since it is a rare occurrence, they did not experience the issue. Googling the scenario returns many who say it may be a vacuum leak in the brake booster. Dealership said the brake booster is fine. Floor mat interference with the gas pedal has also been mentioned. I removed the floor mat, and I still have the issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11677528, filed 2025-07“When driving during rain, the ABS light came on due to wet conditions and reduced my driving speed ability, and created difficulty for traffic and for my family on the highway. This of which made me have to pull off to the side of the road and try to travel 40 minutes to a safe destination at a very slow speed while my vehicle was difficult to drive. Once parked overnight at a hotel it was okay to drive but created a very dangerous situation on the roadways. I wasn't sure that I could drive it in the morning and was hundreds of miles from home. …”
