Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle began to leak heavily from the front drivers side- under carriage. No warning lamps, On Star notifications came on but the vehicle was loosing a lot of coolant which could result in the engine overheating. I took it to the dealership and they diagnosed that I needed a lower radiator hose- this needed to be replaced. The part that is needed is on back order until end of December.”
NHTSA complaint #11698117, filed 2025-11“I was driving in the rain and drove through a puddle something I have done many times with previous vehicles. All of a sudden the car stopped accelerating. I would press the gas,the engine would rev, but the car would barely move if at all. I barely made it to a safe location.”
NHTSA complaint #11618195, filed 2024-10“To date, I have brought the vehicle to the service department four times, primarily due to the check engine light and other critical malfunctions. Below is a summary of the incidents: First Visit (approx July 2024): The vehicle suddenly lost acceleration while I was in traffic, leaving me stranded in the roadway. This posed a serious safety risk. The vehicle remained in the shop for 28 days. Second Visit (September 29, 2024): Multiple warning lights illuminated, and several diagnostic codes were detected. …”
NHTSA complaint #11705151, filed 2025-12“I have a 2024 Chevy Traverse with 32,000 miles. It has been using a quart of oil every 4,000. Bulletin states less than 1 quart every 2,000 miles is okay. Unbelievable that a new car is allowed to use any oil. Did not know I purchased a two‑stroke engine. If someone does not check their oil they could be running 2 quarts or more low in between oil changes, which could damage the engine. Just checked my level, see photo. Drove 3,000 miles and the level was almost at the bottom of acceptable. I still have 60% oil life before the next change. …”
NHTSA complaint #11773266, filed 2026-10“After only having the vehicle for one year, we found a big puddle underneath our vehicle. Not knowing what this liquid was and just thinking that it was the air conditioning. We continue to drive it while driving at one afternoon. The car told me to stop immediately as my engine had overheat overheated. We are now stuck in a rental until further notice due to the upper radiator hose needing replaced. It concerns me that a vehicle so new is out of order for so long that if it were to have any more issues, I would out of a vehicle again”
