1 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2020

After driving about 500yards , speed not a factor, my abs light and traction control light come on when I put code reader in obd port it shows no codes. Shut the vehicle off for few moments. Start it back up and the lights are still on until I drive it about 25 yards and the lights go out. The abs works, I can feel it in the peddle when applied abruptly. I can also hear a slight growling from under the hood. I continue on for about another 500 yards and both lights come back on. I replaced both wheel hub assy in the front, which both looked good .

2 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2019

Takata recall driving down the road and traction control off, stabilitrak service, and abs light came on. Engine light also. Sick in tired of throwing money into this Traverse. I love the SUV but I can't afford all of this mechanical issues.

3 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2018

While driving , stopped at light. Started to drive and abs trouble light comes on and the brakes lock up. I had to drive as if all my brakes where on , they heat up and smoke. Parked in my driveway husband go out to check and trouble is gone. Ack to normal . No trouble locked in as if nothing happened . Dealer said can't do anything unless it is brought in with trouble. It's has been happening about once a month . Almost got in accident . Chevy. Reds to address and fix this problem. There are a lot of other people on the internet stating the same problem. Going to get rid of car if the problem can not be fix before I get in an accident with my kids. Chevy should investigate the problem and create a recall to correct the problem before someone ends up getting killed from it . It is a huge safety issue and do not understand why nothing is being done about the problem.

4 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2017

The first occurrence happened 10/11/17 on I-40. My car started "jerking" and all of a sudden the car decelerated to approx 35 mph. The abs light came on. A ntfcn came on that all of my assists were off (parking, all wheel drive, traction control, stabilitrack). A ntc also appeared that said to service stabilitrak. When I go to press my brake there is a noise in the brake pedal and it "jumps" when I go to press it. We have taken it and had it put on the computer but no codes appear saying there is anything wrong with it. They say the sensors are fine. I have almost been rear-ended several times now. It happens every time I drive my car. I am too afraid to drive my car anymore. It is too dangerous. I can't afford to replace it. No dealer is going to take a faulty car and I can't afford to buy another one. We have researched the problem and found that we are not the only owners having this very same issue but no one seems to have found a resolution for their problem which leaves me very disheartened. Now I am stuck in a car that can't be fixed and I have a car that I can't drive. Gm needs to fix this issue before someone gets killed.
