“Vehicle: 2025 Chevrolet Traverse LT FWD VIN: [XXX] Purchase Date: XXX Incident Date: XXX Mileage: 35,975 INCIDENT DESCRIPTION: On Fr XXX, just seven days after purchasing this vehicle from Enterprise Car Sales, I started my 2025 Chevrolet Traverse and was immediately presented with multiple serious braking and vehicle safety-system warnings. The primary warning stated: "BRAKE ASSIST FAILURE. PRESS HARD TO BRAKE. SPEED LIMITED." Additional warnings included: - Service ESC (Electronic Stability Control) - ABS warning light illuminated - Traction/stability control warning - Forward Collision System Unavailable - Red BRAKE warning illuminated - Check Engine light illuminated These warnings appeared during the same startup event while the vehicle was stationary. SAFETY CONCERNS: I am extremely concerned that a vehicle with fewer than 36,000 miles is reporting a potential failure of its power-assisted braking system, along with simultaneous malfunctions involving ABS, stability control, and forward collision protection. The dashboard specifically instructed me to press harder to brake and indicated that vehicle speed was limited. This raises serious concerns about…”
“The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at 25 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly came to a complete stop. The failure was a recurring failure. The dealer was contacted and disabled the safety feature, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,080.”
“Two issues have been occurring with my car amongst many others, but these are the most recent my vehicle has all seatbelt sensors go off despite no one else being in the vehicle, but me the driver my sensor does not go off. It will not stop beeping or screaming at me until I have to pull over turn off my car turn it back on and essentially reset the system. The other thing my car intermittently when I shifted into park at a full stop for example like in my driveway my foot is fully pressed on the brake, and my car will completely shut off and jerk the car forward and backwards when I shift into park, the engine shuts off but the car was never turned off just shifted in to park. and then resets my entire car all the electrical panels, the dashboard everything goes off-line, then comes back online and I get a message that says to reset driver window, lower window all the way down and raise it back up to which I later found that this meant the entire car program was just reset and started over… This is really frustrating and I fear of something like this happening while I’m actively driving It is not letting me upload the video”

“This started happening about two weeks ago. My check engine light came on and my OBD scanner said a NOX sensor code showed. I told the dealership and I guess they cleared the code and it hasn’t reappeared but the reduced acceleration has maintained. It was [XXX] I had just go of work and needed gas. While traveling to the gas station I got notification that my acceleration was being reduced and it was very noticeable. After arriving and pumping gas, I started the car and got 3 additional messages. The car aside my brake assist and ESC needed service, my ABS system was off, and my forward collision system was off. While driving, I noticed that the brakes were still working but acceleration was still being reduced. This is an everyday use car and I have a 6 children who I don’t feel are safe anymore in the car. Not being able to utilize the brakes and the reduced acceleration is very concerning especially when in traffic. I have a little over 27500 miles on the car. It just came from the dealership to get the telematics module replaced last week because it went out about a month ago. I’ve only had this car a year and it seems like the issues are becoming more…”
“Wife had car sitting over night from doing a EMS shift. Went out to car in morning to start to return home and when car started ABS light, ECS light, Brake Light, and Collision light came on. This has resulted in no ABS or safety features. Called dealer and can't look at car for over a month. There was no mention about not driving. If the wife needs ABS or front radar, she will not have it resulting in a more serious accident.”
