What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Most recently, the check engine light illuminated, requiring another visit to the dealership for diagnosis and repair. These repeated issues have caused significant inconvenience, wasted time, and disrupted my daily life. I purchased this vehicle expecting it to be safe, dependable, and of high quality.
The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with the engine warning light illuminated. The failure was a recurring failure. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and was diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted.
My breaks have been squealing on my 2024 Traverse since about 6 months after my purchase in 2024. I have taken it to the dealership on multiple occasions and they stated that GM knows of the issue but there is no fix. The system states my front breaks are low.
Vehicle driving 32 miles an hour had sudden brake failure. The brakes did not work. Then, the vehicle had the following faults; ESC fault, traction and stability control fault, brake system fault, air conditioning failure (blowing hot air while 92 degrees out), lane assist fault, power steering fault.
Vehicle overheated while driving on interstate in 32F weather. No warnings lights warning of low coolant - only noticed climbing temperature gauge and cooling fans running at full speed. Pulled over and drove slowly to nearest exit with service station.
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…
There was no warning light illuminated; however, the OnStar App notified the contact that the battery voltage was low. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.
The car has a check engine light. Code reads P3075. The app shows an Engine Cooling System error. Please schedule service now. The dealer diagnosed the issue: the coolant pipe to the radiator has failed and needs to be replaced. The part is on backorder, and there is no ETA for the repair.
