Onstar module failed causing battery to drain and no eta on part -- from chevy - to drive the vehicle the module is disconnected by the dealer as parasitic battery drain causes all other safety systems to fail - with module disconnected hazard lights will not work - so if situation happens where hazards are necessary to save occupants life they are not working and functioning due to care to able to function.

My car was acting like it had bad gas. I took to t he dealership and they had it for days and said transmission. I am at 45,000 miles on this car. They had my car in last month and could not find anything wrong with it or so they said. You did say there was a recall/problem with the transmission on the 2017 2018 and 2019 Traverse. Is mine covered to be fixed?.

Burning oil. There is something wrong. I took it to the dealership I still have warranty I really think this needs to be looked into.

Vehicle was driving fine in good condition and well maintenance. No warning at all and went to drive it home from a friends and it would not go in reverse at all. Towed to dealership and they said it’s a transmission issue. There is a recall on 2018 chevy Traverse vehicles. My vehicle is not showing up but I do believe this could be the issue and should be considered a recall.

Antenna- on top of roof- came off in touch free car wash. Upon researching, I’ve seen this is a very common problem with this year model of Traverse.

Transmission has failed.

Noxious emissions fill passenger compartment while at idle, or when using remote start. Cannot drive with windows closed, or with recirculation on. Passengers feel, "sleepy". Bracket holding flex pipe fails at the same point in several different Traverse vehicles. The 2018 model we have, is not covered by a recall, even though the 2019 of the same design and fail point, is. N222385510 gm is addressing this on only select models, even though the same issue is applicable to other models, and the same part numbers are the cause and or affected.

This was one of about ten times this has randomly happened when using super cruise. We were heading south on I-41 and super cruise is active and set around 80 mph, I entered an area where super cruise became unavailable or the system indicates that road information is not available, the vehicle immediately began to rapidly decelerate to under 60 mph within 5 seconds of the vehicle notifying me with red bar on steering wheel and one buzz of my seat. Causing serious concern for safety of my family in the vehicle. During this deceleration, I am unable to override or stop it — pressing the brake pedal does not cancel the slowdown, applying the accelerator has no effect, and no control buttons will disengage super cruise. All pedals are dead. All buttons to cancel do not disengage what the car is doing. The vehicle continues to slow down on its own, which poses a significant safety risk on highways and interstates.

On Friday, 12/19/2025, I started by car and noticed that the infotainment display was taking longer than usual to boot up. It cycled through the Chevrolet splash screen 2 times until it ended on the "update failed. Returned to dealer. " due to this message on the infotainment display, there is no sound coming out of the speakers which results: *unable to hear turn signals when they are activated, front camera is no longer working, *unable to hear the parking assist when in reverse, *onstar is no longer working, and *unable to hear front collision warnings. The display just cycles this message. I called around to several dealerships to see if I could get in that day to get this corrected. I was able to take it to a Chevrolet dealership on Tuesday, 12/23/2025, who diagnosed the problem as software corruption due to the over-the-air update and will result in a new radio needing to be installed. I then called Chevrolet customer service center who stated that since my vehicle is outside of the bumper-to-bumper warranty, regardless of their over-the-air update causing the problem, I would have to pay for the repair. I asked, how do I know that this won't happen again with the new radio? they suggested that I have the dealership turn off the automatic over-the-air updates.

Park to shift keeps popping up on dash while driving. Vehicle will not recognise when in park at times to allow vehicle to be shut off properly. The stability track warning pops up on dash now as well. The check emits comes on with codes for all going back to transmission control module system and when replaced spark plugs we found that the pcv (cam cvr to turbo) tube was cracked all the way through where the hard plastic meets metal on the part and had to replace it. This is all after multiple failed parts that had to be replaced dealing with the ac unit and it’s lines. Today is the second time in two weeks that the vehicle has been in operational mode in the middle of a foward motion driving at the time. Luckily this time I was in a housing area and not a major street or on the loop 360 when it decided to stop driving while in motion in drive.

2020 chevy Traverse high country exhaust bank 1 and bank 2. Transmission shudder.

While driving my entire dashboard goes dark and once I shut my car off it did not start again. Brought it to the mechanic who is rated as 5 stars, to have no codes come up. He has been looking for the answer for over 5 months now. Car will start for a short time then do the same thing all over again. No clicking when turning the key, new battery put in, remote control module replaced and car still doesn’t start. I still owe on this car and have no idea what to do with it.

When the gear shift is in the park position, the system does not recognize it so the car doesn’t properly shut down; on occasion draining the battery. The shift to park problem has been present for 4 years. It has not drained the battery until this month.

The car has a "shift to park" error message. We noticed a recall for other 2018 Traverse vehicles and wonder why ours is not covered. Car will not shut down completely. Battery is drained. Dealer is requesting $767. 43 to repair when other GMC/chevy vehicles are identified in a recall.

When I shift my car into park and turn off the engine, an error message appears-"shift to park. " although the dashboard displays that the vehicle is in park, the radio and lights remain active & I am unable to turn off my car. To resolve this issue, I must restart the car and cycle through park, reverse, or neutral before attempting to shift back into park again. It often takes multiple attempts to eliminate the error message. My Traverse is currently at the dealership, where I have been informed that it needs a new shifter, which is not covered under warranty. These vehicle is garage kept, one owner & has less than 32k miles on it- I have also discovered that this issue is recognized by gm, with numerous complaints documented on this site alone. Given that this is a widespread problem affecting many owners, it seems unreasonable for us to shoulder the expense of this repair.

I am unable to shift the car into park in order to turn off the engine. I constantly reverse and drive again to try again and again until it stays in park or the sensor realizes it is in park and turn off the engine.

The vehicle just suddendenly shuts down when driven on the freeway, according to tillery Chevrolet GMC the engine cracked and needed to replaced for total of $17,291. 94.

Front manifold has cracked twice, bracket to exhaust system has broken twice. A few times when we put it in park the Traverse will say it's not in park and we have to wiggle the gear shift.

The chevy suffers from the "shift to park" issue due to a faulty park switch in the shifter assembly, which is an electrical issue. Apparently gm does not cover this repair but it is dangerous as the car does not shut off even when engine is off and the gear is in park.

Light is telling me shift to park, this is third time it has happened, first time 2022, second time 2023 or 2024 and now 2025.

After only having the vehicle for one year, we found a big puddle underneath our vehicle. Not knowing what this liquid was and just thinking that it was the air conditioning. We continue to drive it while driving at one afternoon. The car told me to stop immediately as my engine had overheat overheated. We are now stuck in a rental until further notice due to the upper radiator hose needing replaced. It concerns me that a vehicle so new is out of order for so long that if it were to have any more issues, I would out of a vehicle again.

I was leaking coolant and took to the dealer. They say it's my upper radiator hose and it needs replaced but it's on a nationwide back order. I was at 42000 miles and was not covered under warranty. I'm reading that a ton of people having the exact same issue and nobody knows why are recall hasn't been issued on this. This can't be good for the environment having a bunch of Traverse vehicles leaking coolant all over the country. Also a safety issue as your car can over heat!.

In the first 51,000 on my vehicle I have had 3 issues with the emissions system which has a negative impact on the environment and would prevent my vehicle from passing state inspection. Gm covered the first 2 under warranty, but I now have a leak in my muffler which seems that it could be related to other issues involving brackets on the exhaust pipes breaking. This is widely reported by other Traverse owners yet gm has not extended the warranty to cover this.

Front exhaust pipe is seperating.

The problem I have it the cover that is on the roof of my car that I am assuming of for the antenna has fallen off.

Shift to park notice. For several months the shifter has had issues going into park. The shifter is in the park position but isnt reading. I know a few other people with similar Traverse models in my area having the same issue. Im also aware that some models of gm SUV have already recalled this part. After having to wait over 5 minutes multiple times for the car to recognize that its in the park position I decided to get this replaced. This is an issue I believe a recall should be noticed and I should be reimbursed for the parts and labor of this.

Transmission went out does not move at all with only 49,000 miles on the car the car always had sifting problems. Brought the car brand new off the lot. One owner. Before the transmission went out when I will stop at the red lights or stop signs the car would just take off for no reason. With my foot still on the brakes or the car would just stall when I am driving it right in the middle of traffic. GMC needs to held accountable before some one gets killed. ??????.

Due to exhaust bracket failure where converter with muffler and side down pipe needs replaced. This was diagnosed at the chevy dealer and appointment for repair is made. The exhaust suddenly became very loud so I took it to the dealership. There were no messages or warning lamps.
