“I have had my car for only two years. I do mainly highway driving and a little residential street driving. My steering rack and front suspension lower control arm mount brushing failed. I had to have them both replace at cost of $2,495. I asked the chevy dealer if this something that they typically see and I was told that my issue appeared to be defect, but since my vehicle does not have an active recall and I am just went over the $36k bumper to bumper.”

NHTSA complaint #11472843, filed 2022-07“First problem is that the fuel guage fluctuates. Second and most frightening, while I was drinking on wed. The 19th of july with my son, my Traverse completely shut off. I took it to the dealer that night, got it back the following monday and was told that the problem couldn't be duplicated. I'm guessing this is the standard answer to these problems. It's not acceptable to me I that I know that this has been a previous issue with this vehicle. I am also frighteningly aware that there have been deaths caused by this. …”
NHTSA complaint #11010915, filed 2017-07“When putting gas in my 2017 Traverse, when I go to crank it, it's takes a while to start and then when it does start, it idles really high. Sometimes if I'm at a complete stop, the engine just cuts off. Tonight when I was driving to the store with my family, the engine cuts off while driving in the middle of the road. This is really scary because I live in atlanta, ga and often take the highway and I'm afraid the engine will shut off in the middle of driving. This is very dangerous. I've called chevy and I am waiting on a call back because I had to leave a voicemail. …”
