2026 Chevrolet Traverse problems

“While driving at highway speeds shark tail antenna cover flew off vehicle. Hare Chevrolet advises part is not covered under manufacture warranty as it is considered an act of god and is quoting over $600 for repair.”

“I experienced a sudden and complete loss of braking after the vehicle’s collision-avoidance system activated. As I was exiting the freeway, I had my foot firmly on the brake pedal and the vehicle was slowing down normally. The collision-avoidance notification then activated, and the brake pedal immediately went to the floor. The vehicle would not brake despite repeated attempts to pump the pedal and apply additional pressure. I struck the vehicle in front of me twice before I was able to bring my vehicle to a stop by placing it in Park. There was no damage to either vehicle, and a police report was filed. This was an abrupt, total failure of the vehicle’s braking system.”

“The contact owns a 2026 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact’s wife stated that while driving 55 MPH, the electronic control system and brake system failure the vehicle decelerated and went into LIMP Mode. The brake pedal became spongy, and while driving, the vehicle coasted to a stop. The vehicle was shifted into park(P), turned off, restarted, and the vehicle operated normally. The failure had reoccurred twice. The contact scheduled an appointment with the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 4,900.”

“On August 25, 2026, my 2026 Chevrolet Traverse experienced a severe safety failure involving the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system. While moving slowly forward in a drive-thru lane with no obstacles in front of the vehicle, the car's automated systems unexpectedly and violently slammed on the brakes.The vehicle brought itself to an immediate, harsh stop without any actual hazard present. The sudden, uncommanded application of maximum braking force caused severe physical jolting, resulting in a whiplash injury to my neck.This unexpected braking event creates an immediate crash hazard for vehicles behind me and poses a severe risk of physical injury due to violent, unprompted stops. This incident appears directly related to ongoing electronic brake module and automatic braking system malfunctions under active federal investigation. I request a thorough safety investigation and a formal recall to address this dangerous defect.”

“When shifting into drive from start, the shifter does not shift. I have my foot on the brake at the same time also. This has happened at least 8 eight times sense the SUV went over 3500 miles on the odometer. I have to wait about 5 seconds before trying it again. This is a safety item that needs immediate attention by Chevrolet and GM, If I needed to evacuate an area, or my garage in the event of a fire and the shifter fails!!!?? should I take it back to the dealer and ask for a refund?? O give them a chance to fix it?”
