Owner report 11595631 · 2024-06-21 (June 21, 2024)
1. When reversing, the emergency braking is very sensitive. On 6/20, it was pouring rain and every time I tried to back out the car kept slamming on the brakes thinking there was an object in the way. it also happened when we were leaving an appointment that same day. It wasn’t pouring rain, but rain was dripping down the back of the car and the car slammed on the brakes at least 5 times trying to back out. This also happened before when backing put of a parking spot and there was a shadow behind my car. The car kept slamming on the brakes thin…

Owner report 11596013 · 2024-06-23 (June 23, 2024)
While car was in motion a warning suddenly came onto screen stating "Brake assist problem, service asc, vehicle speed will be reduced for safety". Pedal was very hard to press, and was almost impossible to stop car with the speed less then 20 mph when the problem occurred. Dealer reports that the Master brake Cylinder needs replaced. This car has less then 500 miles on it at time of occurrence. At this time I am unaware if part is being evaluated as a safety issue. The dealer has been unable to get GM to provide a replacement part.

Owner report 11600178 · 2024-07-08 (July 8, 2024)
On May 14 a service bulletin was released by GM for an issue with the transmission #N242446290 causing a reduced acceleration suddenly and finally zero acceleration after a few minutes unexpectedly. I purchased this car brand new on [XXX] and was not made aware of this potential problem. On [XXX] we took a family vacation road trip from TX to Gatlinburg, TN. The transmission failed and the engine gave zero acceleration the night of [XXX]. I had to have GM roadside tow the vehicle to a Chevy dealer there in Tennessee and then rent a car out of m…

Owner report 11602821 · 2024-07-16 (July 16, 2024)
Transmission issue: Dealer was not able to replicate issue due to it only happening periodically. When putting into drive mode and going to accelerate it feels as if the transmission is slipping and give a big jerk. Also will sometime make a loud noise like tranmission is "dropping". Or when foots off gas peddle after going at a steady speed then go to accelerate again it will jerk. Dealership said that is normal as there is a "learning phase" which I've owned several new vehicles n never experienced this before. No warning lights have been sho…

Owner report 11647934 · 2025-03-12 (March 12, 2025)
Bought it back in July. Had it taken back that first month for the 3rd row headrest issue. Then the check engine light kept coming on, 1st time they said it was a cylinder misfire code, they rest it and said try getting gas from a different station.. light came on 3 more times, but by the time we took it in, they “can’t replicate the issues”. Then the tire sensors went out, took it in and they had to order a new sensor. Then this past weekend we lost total power steering while driving 40+mph. Then it happened again the next day, but this time w…

Owner report 11663056 · 2025-05-27 (May 27, 2025)
Brake on driver side front became super hot and started dragging causing the steering wheel to shake. Dealership stated calipers are fine need pins replaced. Pins on back order. In the meantime they cleaned the pins and re-lubed them and said I was good to go until the parts come in. 5 days later same exact thing. Now my tire is discolored (brownish)and my rotor is also discolored and rusted and brake dust all over rim. I seriously concerned with the integrity of the tire, wheel and whole braking system on that side. My computer show 36% fron…

Owner report 11645578 · 2025-02-28 (February 28, 2025)
Vehicle keeps giving codes not even a month after purchased that say key missing check for key. Then another that says key not found put key in center console left cupholder. This has happened multiple times already and the dealership supposedly said the first time it was a programming issue and needed to be reprogramed. They did that and the vehicle did the same thing. Errors for low battery service battery pop up. Along with service keyless start system. When the key not found error or key missing error comes on the vehicle does not star…

Owner report 11711265 · 2026-01-15 (January 15, 2026)
I am filing this complaint regarding a persistent and unresolved defect with my 2024 Chevrolet Traverse, VIN: [XXX] . The first occurrence of this issue was in June 2025. Since then, the vehicle has repeatedly experienced a “Check Engine” warning, engine misfires (cylinder misfire), loss of power while driving, and severe engine shaking. These symptoms make the vehicle unsafe to operate. The vehicle has been taken to an authorized Chevrolet dealership approximately 20 times for the same ongoing issue. Despite multiple repair attempts, the probl…

Owner report 11711670 · 2026-01-17 (January 17, 2026)
This has happened two times. Driving down the road between 35-55mph. "Speed limited drive with care" no CEL. Took to dealer, advised with a CEL or no codes nothing they could do for it. Multiple nights I get home and the fan stays running after engine shutdown. Engine overheat within 10 min of drive time. OIL SMELLS LIKE FUEL. This time engine throttles back and nearly caused accident with not being able to merge.
