Electrical system

12 reports
“The following vehicle has been having issues with the window for months now when I first received the vehicle I was able to roll the rear windows down now after getting an update I can no longer roll the rear windows down.

Service brakes

12 reports
“My 2024 Traverse wore through 3 new batteries from the purchase date, XXX; to XXX; to XXX, when I was soon to enter XXX for my return trip home. All lights lit up; check ESC; steering/braking difficult; “bolted” upon acceleration at green light; pulling to side; told “not safe to drive” when I managed to get into Palm Chevy in [XXX] that I knew was close to my I-75 destination. Going 60-70 mph could have caused a bad accident, as control was difficult. The 1st similar episode not as severe was XXX. Both times the battery was discharging on the monitor. The 1st time XXX, I went to dealer, Bob Steele Chevy, [XXX] because I was planning an auto train trip to the northeast, concerned for safety.

I now recognize why they did not put in notes. This recent failure occurrence was XXX, on a round trip from [XXX] (home) to [XXX].

Forward collision avoidance

7 reports
“A software update caused the warning lights to go on and off despite no issues surrounding the vehicle (lane assist, forward collision warning). While driving on the interstate going 70MPH the forward collision light flashed a warning which then reduced the cars speed from 70MPH to 40MPH within a very short period of time. This is a huge safety concern and no accident happened as there were no other vehicles around at the time.”
