Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We purchased this vehicle in june of 2019, and have had it at the dealership 4 times for an issue with the brakes. To this date they have not figured out what is causing it, but it causes the brake system to lose power making it difficult to brake. We were told by the dealer just to keep driving it until they figure out what is going on.”
NHTSA complaint #11265233, filed 2019-09, 45 miles“There are continuous defects and concern for safety regarding my 2019 chevy Traverse. I purchased a new 2019 Traverse redline on march 22, 2019 and the problems began within two weeks and less than 400 miles on the vehicle. I was driving my new vehicle on a residential road and began to slowly press the brake while approaching a stop sign when the 'service brake assist' alert appeared, the brakes made a grinding and clicking noise while shaking and felt like the brake pedal needed to be pushed all the way to the floor to stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #11228561, filed 2019-06, 1,800 miles“When stopping the vehicle, the auto-stop kicks in, which sometimes works well. Other times it kills the whole car, shutting it down completely. The infotainment center goes black like the car was shut off using the start/stop button. So then it takes a bit to get it running again to go. This has happened to us 6 times now within the last 2 weeks. In high traffic areas this can be a safety concern. Also when it shuts down completely the brake pedal goes soft and drops down to the floor. …”
NHTSA complaint #11277151, filed 2019-10, 4,100 miles“Our Traverse shows a message “shift to park”. This happens after we have already shifted in park. This causes a continuous ding until we are able to trick the vehicle into park. The after concern is we leave the vehicle because we can’t get it to shift to park and it rolls damaging property or another person. This problem has left us stranded because we can not shift it.”
NHTSA complaint #11549327, filed 2023-10“My Traverse intermittently displays 'shift to park' message and I was not able to shut the SUV all the way off. I would have to play with the shift gear in order for it to turn off. I am under 50k miles.”
