Brake Light On Problems of Chevrolet Traverse

August 6, 2025 I was driving and it started to rain and there was a little rain on the road and my vehicle appeared to be hydroplaning. I had never experienced that before and it scared me to the point that I reduced my speed significantly. I arrived at my destination and was there for about three hours and when I started my 2025 Chevrolet Traverse I had 4 lights come on my dashboard along with a warning chime. The lights were the brake light, abs light, forward collision assist light and traction control light; and a service esc and service brake assist message popped up in separate boxes from the lights themselves. I turned off my Traverse and hoped it was some fluke thing and again the same lights came on and same messages. I drove my vehicle home cautiously and parked it. I called the dealer I purchased it from the following morning and was given a service appointment 11 days out and I stated that was unacceptable since I was not sure the vehicle was safe to drive from everything I was reading online. The service dept stated that they could place it on a machine if I stopped into the dealership and let me know if was safe to drive. My husband drove it to the dealership 25 miles away and wasn't happy with the service department and spoke to a manager and he stated they would look at my vehicle the following day and gave me a loaner. My husband advised the manager that everything I had been reading pointed to an issue with the master brake cylinder and the parts are on backorder and the manager said he hadn't heard of any issues with them. I received a call 4 days later after asking the status of my new car repeatedly and was told that it is the master brake cylinder and a couple of the parts are on backorder and they don't know when they will arrive; could be a week, two or a month. I am extremely concerned about the seriousness of this issue and the lack of parts to repair the vehicle. As I stated, there are multiple incidents on google over this same issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would independently and intermittently brake as the abs, power steering, traction control, and parking brake warning lights would illuminate on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to dick wickstrom Chevrolet (555 e irving park rd, roselle, IL 60172) where the vehicle remained for over a month. The dealer had yet to duplicate the failure and had offered to return the vehicle to the contact unrepaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a diagnostic team would be sent to the dealer to have the vehicle inspected. The contact was then informed that the diagnostic team was also unable to diagnose or duplicate the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.

Parking brake wouldn't release. Service parking brake light on. I had parked on a slight hill. After about two hours, I started my vehicle, pressed the button, shifted to reverse, and the vehicle wouldn't move. Odd! I looked at the cluster and noticed the �park� flashing and the service parking break light on. I tried shifting in and out of park to drive or reverse multiple times and each time pushing the button. No luck. I left my vehicle at the location since it was late and safe. The next morning before having it towed, I tried once more to push the parking brake button and it successfully disengaged the parking brake and the service light cleared itself. I noticed on a forum that 2018 Traverses have this issue and disconnecting the battery or letting it sit for a few hours sometimes resolves this recurring issue but never fixes it.

Export version only. Country: colombia. 1. Shitf to park. When you park the vehicle ask you to put it in park and it is already. Dealer is working on that as I write this thread. Tech found a recall or bulletin from manufacturer to repair or possible replacement of some parts 2. Service stabilitrack. In many and ramdom ocacions this service light comes on and 20 seconds later goes off. When stopping at a light. Dealer unable to duplicate and no fix yet 3. Fuel economy system, it does not work right now, and it happened twice before. Does not turn off when you stop at a traffic light. Delaer has updated software in order to remedy this issue. 4. Locking audio confirmation. When you manually lock the doors it gives you an audio or lights confirmation. It does not work any more. Dealer looking into this issue. 5. Electric parking brake. The electric parking brake activated it self while driving in traffic. Heavy traffic situation 5 mph and the e. Brake came on and stayed on. The vehicle did not move forward or backwards. Turn the engine off several times, put in parking, neutral etc etc. After 5 minutes of blocking traffic had to force the vehicle to the shoulder. Almost did not make it. Turn vehicle off and called the flat bed. While waiting 15-20 minutes later turn vehicle on and surprise!!! it was fixed. Magic. The e brake was off and the vehicle was free. While this was going on the e brake light (red) was on, and service parking brake light (amber) was flasing all the time. Dealer did an update to the system and not sure if it will happened again. But this is the third time this happened. Once at my house about six months ago but it took about 1 minute and it fix it self so I did not pay attention to it. The second time it happened to my wife at a shopping center but she left it in the lot and went back shopping and when it came out it was fixed.

I was entering the on-ramp going east and my vehicle completely stopped. I was going around 25-30 mph and I had my kids in the car. My computer forced my brakes and I was unable to drive the vehicle. My SUV literally made a full stop while driving at 25-30 mph with my kids in the car and no brake lights ignited. The check engine light and the traction control light came on. They eventually turned off. This happened one other time. I was driving on a residental street and the vehicle stopped again. My husband whom was driving the car said the car just stopped in the middle of the intersection. He tried pressing the traction control button because the check engine light and the traction control light came on and the brakes were forced again and nothing. Imagine going 25mph and stopping abruptly without brake lights for other cars to see. This time I did research and I saw that other 2014 chevy Traverses were recalled for the chassis module (recall number 14v614000). I saw youtube videos and I checked several consumer the complaint websites and I literally saw over 10 other complaints about the same issue this month! I also put a reader in my vehicle and the two codes that come up is p16aa & p1682. One is for the electronic module system in which the chassis (pertaining to the recall) is listed under). I called the dealer and they said that the recall was active for 2014 chevy Traverses. . . . . But not mine! I am completely disgusted. These vehicles will kill you - literally and they know it, and they refuse to do anything about it! now I'm paying a car note and I can't even drive it - for the safety of my family, others, and myself. Shame on them - again this is happening to other people! this is a urgent request for help!.

I was driving down the street I came to a stop. As I began to go I tried to turn right and I couldn't turn the wheel it was so hard. Reminded me of my first car I had when I had a leak with my steering fluid. So at that point I try to brake and my brakes failed. I don't know what happened I began to roll backwards and the first thing I thought of was to push down as hard as I could and slammed it into park. While all this was going on not one single engine light came on or brake light nothing. There was absolutely no warning. I turned the car off then back on and it was as if nothing had happened. Luckily it was on a very quite and non-busy street and my kids weren't with me.

We bought a used vehicle from acadiana Mazda, lafayette la. About a week from having it the emergency brake light comes on. We bring it in, they say they can't find anything wrong so we take it back. The next week, the salesman gives us a call and says that they need to replace the windshield, after asking for a sales ticket for several days, they give us a sales ticket from the week before that says that they think the vehicle has a water leak. (service ticket is enclosed) I come home that night before bringing it in and I find rust dripping from the emergency brake, standing water under my flooring, rust / corrosion all over the bottom parts of the car. What is suspected by the car dealership is that the windshield wasn't sealed right and when it would rain it would come in from the windshield and drip down through the emergency brake. We figured there were 37 days of rain since they had it and all of that rain was going into the vehicle. I was not informed of this prior to buying the car. I tried to return it but they refused and wanted to fix it. That was just sealing the windshield, the brake sensor and replacing the flooring. I did not feel that was good enough. To avoid a legal battle and concerned for my family's safety, I traded it in. I believe there may be some electrical issues, and other concerns with the car that they will not fix so I am reporting this for someone else's safety. It may also have been flooded but that wasn't disclosed when the first owner traded it in but that is just speculation. Please investigate.
