NHTSA complaint #11161435, filed 2018-12, 60,000 miles“I recently got this car from a licensed dealership and I have had nothing but issues. I the car has broken down twice and has been in the shop 3 times. 2 of which were for the same issue. While driving you either feel a constant pull then its almost like it releases and then it speeds up. Then I have a hard time slowing it down. When the car broke down the temp gauge dropped all the way down, AC stopped working and when I pulled over and stopped the car it would start again. After 30 min it started but immediately rev up in rpms to max and wouldn't stop till I turned the vehicle off. …”

The car would not accelerate. I managed to get the car to the side of the interstate and turned it off. I called roadside assistance immediately and the technician told me to turn off the traction control. There was a pungent smell all inside the car of gas and other fumes, but I did not see any fluids leaking from under the vehicle. The technician told me to start the car with the traction control off. …”

NHTSA complaint #10790791, filed 2015-11, 3,000 miles“Purchased a 2015 chevy Traverse the power steering went out and it's leaking. This vehicle is only 3.5yrs old this should not be happening! It's extremely dangerous when you have two children in the vehicle!! The noise was grinding and whining, you could not turn the vehicle if you were reversing. And trying to drive forward and turning onto another road was very hard. This is not normal and this needs to be a recall!!”
