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…

Transmission I stop at stop sign, when I proceeded to continue to drive the car made a roaring sound and my Chevrolet Traverse 2024 would not go into the second gear. The check engine light came on and has not gone out. I took it to the Chevrolet dealer where I purchased the vehicle, the looked it over and now have to order a transmission overhaul kit. I’m now waiting for further information.

Owner report 11604924 · 2024-07-27 (July 27, 2024)
The transmission suddenly failed on this vehicle. I was later informed that it was the clutch piston. Fortunately, the failure occurred at a stop light when I attempted to accelerate from a stop. The vehicle initially did not move as expected. If this had happened when turning into traffic, or merging onto a highway, it could have been dangerous. There was no warning light or indication at first. The service engine light only came on after about two miles. I was able to drive the car but accelerating was very slow. This car was purchased on [X…
