1 Brake Fluid Leak problem of the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 05/11/2021

We bought a 2021 chevy Traverse and the day after purchase the brakes began making a grinding noise off and on. Three weeks to the day after purchase, may 11, behind the driver side back tire was a puddle of darker fluid. The brakes began grinding worse. I left for work and when I returned home under the carport where the Traverse was parked was fluid where each tire has sat. I drove 15 miles to my next duty spot for the day and brakes were grinding horribly. . When I got to my destination I popped the hood to find the reservoir where the brake fluid goes completely empty. It looked as if it never had fluid in it to begin with. The dealership sent a tow truck to my location and picked the vehicle up.

2 Brake Fluid Leak problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 05/15/2020

Vehicle brake system failed allowing the pedal to travel to the floor. Only a small about of rear brake pressure allowed the vehicle to stop. Issue was discovered to be a failed master cylinder leaking all brake fluid into the brake booster, sucking in air causing brake failure. Had the car not been moving very slow when this occurred, there would have been a serious accident. Vehicle only hs 39k miles. I am being made to pay for repairs out of pocket. Working with gm to understand if they are willing to pay for a brake failure on a almost new vehicle.

3 Brake Fluid Leak problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 04/22/2020

When driving, the brake warning light came on saying " reduced braking power---get service immediately. Safety concern. I took car into the dealer. They diagnosed that the master cylinder seal had failed and that brake fluid was leaking from the master cylinder into the brake booster. Dealer says it is not covered by warranty. I can't believe because of the low milage and significant safety concern that this repair would not be covered.
