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. When cutting the car gets turned off there will be a lot of clicking noises.”

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 see WHY they did not put notes concerning that visit. They said I needed a new battery and charged me over $ 306 for it, stating another 30 months warrantee like the first battery, which they did not honor XXX, anyway. 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]. In [XXX], Palm Chevy said it was not safe to drive the car back to [XXX]. I had AAA tow the car to Bob [XXX] Chevy and I…”

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.”

Engine

3 reports
“I have a 2024 Chevy Traverse with 32,000 miles. It has been using a quart of oil every 4,000. Bulletin states less than 1 quart every 2,000 miles is okay. Unbelievable that a new car is allowed to use any oil. Did not know I purchased a two‑stroke engine. If someone does not check their oil they could be running 2 quarts or more low in between oil changes, which could damage the engine. Just checked my level, see photo. Drove 3,000 miles and the level was almost at the bottom of acceptable. I still have 60% oil life before the next change. After another 1,000 miles probably would have gone below the low line. Not good for the engine. Mentioned to the dealer during the first oil change and they started overfilling. Told them to stop that as that is not good for the engine. I am worried the engine will fail prematurely.”
