2024 Chevrolet Traverse

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while attempting to open the hatch, the hatch opened and then unintendedly lowered within seconds. The contact stated that her husband had sustained a minor injury to the head while placing groceries in the vehicle when the hatch closed. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the rear hatch motor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

Experienced severe vibrations while driving and when I got out of the car there was a burning smell coming from inside the driver's side front tire. No warning light or messages on my dash. Brought to the dealer to find that the master brake cylinder is defective and I am currently waiting over a month to have it repaired as the parts are unavailable.

When a lighter driver is operating the vehicle the seat will move and make a clicking noice causing a safety concern when the vehicle accelerates or stops. This happens only when a lighter driver is operating the vehicle with a weight of around 160 lbs. it does not have the same issue with heavier drivers but does cause concern for the safety of the vehicle in the event something were to happen when operating the vehicle. Have taken to dealership twice with no resolution. Those that were testing the safety of the vehicle were larger than the person who normally operates the vehicle experiencing the problem and no resolution was provided after both of the visits to the dealership.

While making a left turn in a residential area, I slightly accelerated and noticed the RPM's shot up significantly. The vehicle did not shift as expected and felt like it was stuck in higher gear or slipping. Even after I let off the gas, the RPM's remained high longer than normal. This created a moment where the vehicle did not respond predictably, which could have put myself and others at risk if traffic had been heavier. The vehicle has approximately 16,500 miles. There were no warning lights, error messages, or sounds at the time. I did request for the issue to be recorded in my service record. The component suspected to be at fault is transmission or the transmission control system. This is concerning given the low mileage and recent model year.

We have experienced phantom AEB warnings and braking (60+ warnings w/o braking, around 10 brake activations) since owning the vehicle a little over a year now, purchased new. We took it into the dealer in May to have it addressed and they determined the AEB system was inoperable due to a defective front camera (windshield). After replacement and reprogramming, we picked up the vehicle and noticed a decreased sensitivity to our rear/side alerts AND ZERO forward AEB or proximity alerts of any kind. Not car, pedestrian, object or wall. Forward AEB alerts were completely disabled. Additionally, the vibrating safety seat which was previously inoperable (we assumed our car didn't have it) was on and functioning for all side/some rear alerts. We took the car back into the dealer and after 5+ days they determined it was a "faulty batch of cameras" and they replaced the front facing camera again. Today, we picked up the vehicle, being told everything was tested and reset so functioning properly- with our 3rd new forward camera. Yet, the AEB system was clearly inoperable again, zero front facing AEB/collision/proximity alerts - even though all settings 'on.' Rear alerts still seemed delayed and less accurate than before we brought the vehicle in the first time. I returned the vehicle to dealer and demonstrated again. My service rep agreed - it does not seem like it's just the front facing camera and must be a larger issue electronic issue. To date, I've been in contact with GM corporate executive team and have very little real concern or amelioration of these QC issues with the vehicle. We have spent over 20 days in the shop within 12mo. They refuse to acknowledge that there significant defect with the vehicle to warrant repurchase. These safety issues are only part of what appears to be serious QC deficiencies that put my family at risk. My wife and kids are in this car 98% of the time. I have video documentation from both camera repairs if you want to see them.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated indicating brake failure. The contact depressed the brake pedal and stood on the brake pedal and the vehicle stopped. The contact turned off the vehicle. While attempting to restart the vehicle, there was an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the gear shifter independently shifted into park and the vehicle independently turned off. The vehicle was towed to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact stated that the vehicle had been at the dealer for thirty days. The contact was informed that a diagnostic test provided no information of a failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 9,010. The VIN was not available.

Incident 1 - Dashboard Electrical Failure Date: June 11, 2025 Mileage: approx. 10,000 Problem: Multiple dashboard error lights activated simultaneously, including false "dead battery" warnings despite the vehicle starting normally. The vehicle could not be shifted into gear and could not be shut off through normal ignition procedures, requiring manual battery disconnection to resolve. Incident 2 - Power Steering System Failure Date: June 12-13, 2025 Problem: Complete power steering failure. Temporary resolution achieved by battery disconnection and reconnection, indicating systemic electrical issues. Incident 3 - CAN Bus Communication System Failure Date: July 6 and 9, 2025 Problem: Check engine light with diagnostic code U0073, indicating Controller Area Network (CAN) bus communication failure - a critical vehicle system malfunction. On July 11, 2025 my wife had the oil changed and the mechanic assured her, “It’s just a glitch ma'am, like a computer. Just restart the car 2 or 3 times.” Incident 4 - Recurring Power Steering Failure Date: July 12, 2025 Problem: “Service ESC and Power Steering”. Power steering system failed again, demonstrating that previous "fixes" were ineffective and the underlying defect persists.
