41k miles and transmission sometimes won't shift. I even had to pull over today and shut off the car after it wouldn't upshift up a residential hill. 41k miles and had to replace front brake pads already. They had plenty of brake left, but they were cracked.

We have only had our Traverse since January, but have noticed numerous times that the brakes grind (at times) when applying them. The car only had 24,000 miles on it when we bought it, it shouldn't have needed brakes already. Finally had money for the brakes to be checked and we need pads and roters on all the wheels. It seems that this is a problem with a lot of the Traverses. Also, we have the problem which I have read about on here that when sitting at incline the car like to roll back. It has caused me to hit someone when on a hill. Of course there isn't a recall on that either. I don't feel that these cars are safe for younger drivers. I have two sons that I won't let drive my car do to the issues with it. I think someone needs to do something before someone is killed by all of these problems. I have tried to get all of the recall notices taken care of, but dealership we bought the care from never has the parts.

Lost both pads and rotors on the rear of vehicle, premature wear, not normal. Move forward to present may 9 2014. 37,000 miles and the front brakes, poads and rotors, need replacing and the rear pads already need new pads. The brakes have to be malfunctioning in some way. Called gm for the first incident and received some re-imbursement. I have not had repairs done on second incident but have made an appointment to secure repairs. It seems that what controls braking, example the proportionate valve, has failed in these instances. The results of the problem are the brakes need to be replaced evry 18,000 miles and that is not normal. My brakes, especially the rear last between 50 and 60 thousand miles and all other cars owned and the front normally last at least 40 thousand mile. Gm has made mistakes in building the brake system with inferior parts.

I purchased this vehicle as a gm certified used vehicle in late December 2010. Nov26'11 @ 37,395 miles the front brake pads were replaced and the front brake rotors were resurfaced. In may 2012, I was rear ended at stop light and a couple of days later, I started experiencing shaking when applying the brakes and was told it was a maintenance issue when taken in for repair. Jun15'12 the front brake rotors were replaced. Nov30'12 vehicle taken in for service once more with same complaint of shaking when applying brakes or when coasting - front disc brake pads were replaced and front brake rotors were resurfaced. It is now may'13 (52k mi) and I am experiencing the same issues once more, however the shaking is much worse to the point it feels as if the front wheels will come off while braking. I contacted dealer to get service history, and found that this issue was present before I purchased the car.
