“We were driving on a street and the vehicle suddenly just stopped. We could not get it out of park. We could not get into neutral it would not shift into any gear and it said transmission needs service. That is such a dangerous thing because luckily it wasn’t a busy street because it just stopped in the middle of the street and we waited there for an hour and a half to get a truck to tow it off”

“I was stopped at a red light in rush hour traffic in the middle of three lanes. When the traffic light turned green, I pressed the accelerator and the engine revved, but the the vehicle did not accelerate in a normal manner. The CEL came on in the DIC along with a message Reduced Acceleration. Drive with Care. I was able to slowly change lanes and turn into a parking lot while cars maneuvered around me to avoid a collision. I was unable to exceed 10mph while surrounding traffic was moving approximately 50mph presenting a safety hazard. …”

“I experienced complete brake failure while coming up to an intersection during rush hour. To avoid crashing into the vehicles in front of me I went off the road onto the shoulder and coasted until I stopped. During this “brake failure” popped up on my dash. (I have a picture) I ended up turning the car off and then starting it back up. Everything appeared to be fine, however I was not fine. I called the dealership right away and brought in. They diagnosed it as needing brake master cylinder and it took about 30 days for the vehicle to get fixed. Now I’m experiencing transmission fluid leaking. …”

“My 2024 Chevy Traverse is leaking coolant within the radiator hose system. While driving on a busy interstate, the vehicle went into protective limp mode reducing acceleration, creating a dangerous situation for myself to manage. A check engine light did come on with the reduced acceleration notice. I am having to add coolant to the vehicle constantly to drive it. Parts on our national back order now due to the huge influx of others experiencing similar issues. Dealership has confirmed leak - however I’m told it is not covered until manufacturer warranty and can be costly to repair!”
