Recent owner complaints

• Suspension

  The suspension issue was discovered when I took the vehicle to National Tire and Battery on 10/9/26 they discovered a bolt that is attached to the control arm was not bolted down down correctly and all threads seemed to be damaged as well as the knuckle assembly. There were no warning lights or messages to let me know there was something wrong. Just some shaking and jingling. The car fax shows the dealership replaced the control arm early July and I bought the vehicle late July.

  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…

  2024 Chevrolet Traverse, 2.5L turbo (LK0). The cooling system has repeatedly lost coolant through quick-connect hose fittings. On 4-3-2026, at 36,650 miles, Washington Chevrolet replaced the radiator inlet hose under warranty for coolant loss. After that repair the vehicle kept losing coolant, and I have had to top off the reservoir repeatedly. No low coolant warning or dash alert has ever appeared. On 10-14-2026, at 49,066 miles, the same dealer found the outlet hose at the coolant surge tank leaking, rated it Critical, and quoted $480.30 to replace it. The dealer declined warranty and goodwill coverage. Safety concern: coolant loss with no driver warning can lead to overheating, reduced…

• Service brakes

  When I purchased my car, I was given an alert from the brake sensor that the front pads needed service. I returned the car to the dealer and they were able to reset the alert. A few months later, I got another alert that the front brake pads were at 18%. My car was still under warranty and the brake sensors in the front were replaced, but the software update was not installed at this time. A few months after that, I got another alert that my front brake pads needed to be replaced. I took it up to the dealership and they finally performed the software update. This time my warranty was out, so I had to pay $424 for the software update for the brake sensors. This should be a recall. There is…

• Steering

  I was driving down the road and plactic trim piece where super cruise is at top of steering cracked popped off itself with that piece off its hard to steer properly without hitting inside of your hand I have to be careful not to get cut where plastic broke because its sharp. I had around 59900 miles when this happened 2 weeks ago. Cheverolet only sales the whole steering wheel and doesnt offer the 20.00 piece of plastic so the cost is closer to 2000 to get installed and new steering wheel. Ive had vehicle 2 years and 3 mos. Online there are lots of complaints on this and its common evidently. I reached out to cheverolet but they didnt help! I reached out to place where vehicle was purchased…

• Service brakes

  Master cylinder failure on interstate caused complete loss of braking. No accident. Shop replaced master cylinder per GM bulletin. Warning light for brake assist failure came on and pedal went to the floor. This could’ve ended in a mass casualty situation, thank god we were in wide open territory and could coast to a stop which took over a mile in neutral.

• Electronic Brake Module Component FailureOpen

  On April 11, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE24011 after receiving complaints concerning a loss of brake assist in 2023 MY Cadillac Lyriq vehicles. These complaints allege a hard brake pedal, followed by a “Brake System Failure” message at start up or while driving. GM shared records regarding several internal investigations for loss of brake assist due to alleged spindle fractures in the eBoost system. GM has stated that in the event of a spindle fracture, anti-lock brakes (ABS), stability control, and traction control remain functional until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. At this point, ABS, brake assist, stability control, and traction control functions are lost. The loss of these functions causes the vehicle to set one of three Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) based on failed performance criteria for the Electronic Brake…
