2022 Chevrolet Traverse problems

“When attempting to turn off my 2022 Chevrolet Traverse, the engine shuts off, but the vehicle remains in the ON position. The vehicle does not recognize that the transmission is in Park, preventing the electrical system from shutting off completely as intended. This issue is concerning because the vehicle does not properly complete the shutdown process even though the gear selector is in Park. The vehicle's electrical systems remain on, which may result in the battery draining and could affect the vehicle's normal operation. I am concerned that this may be a defect involving the transmission Park recognition system, gear selector, or ignition and shutdown system. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue to determine whether it affects other 2022 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles and whether a safety-related defect exists that requires corrective action. A vehicle should properly recognize when it is in Park and allow the driver to shut it off completely. This malfunction needs to be investigated and addressed to help prevent further problems for vehicle owners.”

“Shifting into gears, there is a delay shifting into the next gear, there is bucking like its going to stall, it happens in traffic. I am worried it will stall and I will be in an accident.”

“electrical, drivetrain, powertrain. While driving the vehicle a message popped up on the speedometer saying service battery chargeing system and battery saver mode. the is the second time that those messages have come up in the four years of ownership with the first time being in 2024. The second issue we have had with this vehicle was injectors going bad and causing a bad misfire making driveability rough. We have gone through three O2 sensors in the past 4 years. we have replaced the alternator and are fixing to replace it again. the driverside axle seal leaked. transmission slips bad. there is a current random misfire. Back in may of 2025 we were driving to Florida from missouri and had to slam on the brakes and when we released the brake the car refused to move and when i pressed the gas harder there was a loud bang like we had been hit but it was like the brakes had locked up completely. It shudders bad when starting. Two months ago the steering locked up while driving. Vehicle has been inspected several times by the dealer we bought it from but driving this vehicle is becoming my families worst nightmare.”

“Brakes began making noise soon after purchasing, was told the sound was normal. Eventually brakes started to fail car would not stop even at slow speeds. Was told it needed new brake pads. Replaced pads then a couple months pads began to grind and again brakes would not stop. Was told I needed to replace pads ice again.”

“I stopped for gas and when I went to start the car and leave, the parking brake did not disengage. I was stranded. This is the second issue I have had with the breaking/gear shift on this vehicle. It is a lemon”

“My front seat belt will not buckle at times, has happened multiple times. When I stop and go to park it will say shift to park”
