2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2023

The vehicle has a brake light over the hatch but no bottom brake lights. Replaced bulbs and fuses and brake light switch and still no brake lights. Took it to a shop and they don't know what's wrong. After getting gas I crunk car, put it in drive and car started going in reverse and front air wouldn't work either but back air did. It seems to be an electrical issue. Just got vehicle in June of 2023. The brake light issue needs attention immediately very dangerous. I've been behind an acadia and an equinox and noticed they don't have bottom brake lights either. The spare tire is also too low and squeaky when operating vehicle and can fall of while driving. Please fix these issues it's very dangerous and very upsetting.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2021

Stabilitrak control light comes on and doesnt turn off for hours or days, especially during long rides. Vehicle jerks and takes longer to get up to speed.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2021

Stabilitrak light was on, then the alarm said traction control off, the check engine light came on. The Traverse certainly has recall problems that need to be looked into, it is a family car. I have provided a you tube link that explains and shows the problem, https://youtu. Be/hbvaoiixnxy I have the same problem on my car.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2020

While driving on the highway at 65 mph the stability control sensor, abs sensor, and all wheel drive went out all at once, when that happened the car by itself went to 35 mph on the highway and would not allow the car to go over 35 mph.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2020

My 2014 chevy Traverse has been having this issue for months now. I will be driving and my service stabilitrak, traction control off, check engine light will light up, and engine power reduced will pop up. I can not go over 20 mph. At times the engine will become very stally, jerky, my steering wheel and brakes will be very hard to use. These are very random and non patterned I will have to safely pull over rather it be on a back road or a highway wherever it happens turn the engine off for 5-20 minutes and it will eventually clear everything but the check engine light; which will clear within that day or the next until the next time it happens. It has also cause my key to lock up in the ignition. This is very unsafe and scary. This is my family car and will eventually cause an accident and hurt myself, my kids, or someone else. If you google the issue there are tons of forums, websites, blogs that have the same issue with this car. I have spent numerous hours investigating the issue, lots of money replacing parts as recommended or by the check engine light and it continues to do this. Gm is going to have a lawsuit on their hands when someone gets seriously hurt over this issue because they are not doing anything about it.

8 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2018

Highway speed, hit moderate pothole and received multiple error messages in the display "engine power reduced" "service stabilitrak" "service traction control". Engine barely running/running rough. Brakes have no power assist. Vehicle struggling to maintain 20mph and hard to get off the freeway. Appeared to be complete ecu malfunction. Had to abandon car in a public parking lot and have someone pick us up. Vehicle was towed to local dealership and yet they can find no fault codes, thus releasing the car with no work performed. .

9 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2018

When applying brakes, it makes a sound like water and has been doing that since purchase 09/17, and when accelerating there's a jerking like the engine is trying to engage????? all in motion.

10 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/17/2017

I bought this car used, and shortly after noticed there was a squeaking sound whenever you depress the brake pedal. I took it in to the dealership and they deduced it was the brake booster. They said this is a known issue with the Traverse but it had not been recalled yet. I spent over $400 getting this fixed.

11 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/24/2015

While in motion, the vehicle began to sputter, the dashboard and radio went blank, the locks in the doors went up and down several times. I pressed the brake and was unable to stop the car as I was approaching a stop sign. I had to roll through the stop sign and narrowly missed being hit at the intersection. Within a few seconds, the vehicle regained power and I was able to drive home. This has happened on 2 other occasions where the car has lost electrical power for several seconds while driving down the road. I also went out to my stationary parked car and tried to start it one morning. The vehicle was completely dead, like it had a dead battery, but the ignition would not release my key or let me turn the key back to the off position. So I started to try to get to the battery to jump th e vehicle off, but by the time I got ready to do this, I opened the car door and all the lights came back on and the car started right up (but without a working radio this time). This is a very serious and dangerous problem. We have only had the car for a few months and we have now had our car in a chevy dealership for 15 days and they have been unable to replicate the problem and so they are trying to send the vehicle home with us without any other solution other than to keep driving it (putting my family in danger) and try to record it when it happens again (so I can prove I'm not crazy or just making this stuff up).

12 Service Brakes problem

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning.

The vehicle was not diagnosed ore repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 18,148.

13 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2014

Driving normally at 55 mph. Car slowed to 35 mph and engine light came on, and dash read stabilitrac service needed engine power slowed. I could not go over 35 mph on freeway and very difficult to brake.

14 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2014

General motors is aware of a brake pedal rubbing noise issue, however they do not inform owners about a remedy. The squeaky/rubbing brake pedal noise is a known issue as I have been told for this model as well as several others on the gm lineup. I am asking gm to take responsibility by documenting my concern as well as issuing a recall so it may be addressed before it causes something to go wrong and possibly cause an accident.

15 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/26/2014

On four occasions I have lost brakes while descending a hill. The brake peddle goes all the way to the floor. Only after pumping the brakes does pressure return and the car slows. The dealer indicates they have been unable to replicate the issue and continues to deny there is a problem.

16 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/23/2013

I have taken my vehicle in numerous times for the same issue; the brakes & radio. The radio screen becomes black off & on. The major issue are the brakes. The dealer supposedly has replaced the booster. This is now my fifth time taking it into the dealer. When you press down on the brakes it releases air & the brake pedal seems to have no cushion. It goes all the way down!!! I've only had this car a couple of months!.
