2025 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

Onstar Module failed causing battery to drain and no ETA on part -- from Chevy - To drive the vehicle the module is disconnected by the dealer as parasitic battery drain causes all other safety systems to fail - with module disconnected hazard lights will not work - so if situation happens where hazards are necessary to save occupants life they are not working and functioning due to care to able to function.

El 6 de enero de 2026, minutos después de retirar el vehículo del concesionario tras un servicio de frenos, el sistema de enfriamiento presentó pérdida total de refrigerante debido a una manguera del radiador rota. El vehículo fue regresado inmediatamente y quedó retenido por recomendación técnica de no conducirlo por riesgo de sobrecalentamiento del motor. La condición representa un riesgo de seguridad pública si ocurre durante la conducción, ya que puede provocar pérdida súbita de potencia, detención inesperada del vehículo y posible incidente vial. El 21 de enero de 2026, durante inspección previa a entrega, se detectó una segunda falla: módulo OnStar inoperante (GPS no funcional). Ambos eventos fueron diagnosticados por el concesionario autorizado. La pérdida súbita de refrigerante y posible sobrecalentamiento del motor implica riesgo de falla mecánica repentina, pérdida de potencia o detención del vehículo en circulación, lo que puede causar un incidente vial. El concesionario indicó explícitamente que no debía conducirse el vehículo bajo esas condiciones. Sí. Ambos problemas fueron confirmados por el concesionario autorizado: primero la falla del sistema de enfriamiento, luego la falla del módulo OnStar. El vehículo ha sido inspeccionado por el concesionario autorizado. El fabricante ha sido notificado formalmente y existe un caso abierto con su departamento de atención al cliente. No existían advertencias previas. Las alertas y ventilador excesivo aparecieron minutos después de salir del concesionario el 6 de enero. La falla del GPS se detectó el 21 de enero durante inspección previa a entrega. El vehículo continúa retenido por reparación pendiente y no ha sido devuelto en condiciones seguras o funcionales.

The vehicle has been brought to an authorized dealership for numerous service visits related to electrical system issues that ultimately affected the braking system. During one service visit, the vehicle was returned to me with multiple active dashboard warning lights illuminated related to the braking system, including Electronic Stability Control and Automatic Emergency Braking. I questioned the presence of these warning at pickup and was advised by the dealer that the vehicle was safe to drive and that the warnings would clear on their own. After driving the vehicle for a short period, I became uncomfortable continuing to operate it with brake-related warning lights still active and returned it to the dealer. Upon further diagnosis by a service technician, it was discovered that the vehicle has significant brake system defects requiring replacement of major components, including the brake control module and master cylinder. During diagnosis, the brakes locked and the parking brake would not disengage, rendering the vehicle undrivable. No collision or injury occurred. However, the vehicle was released to me with active brake system warnings and later found to have serious brake defects. Due to the safety-critical nature of the braking system and the repeated electrical and brake-related service history, I am reporting this for documentation and review.

Vehicle currently at dealership for ESC, brake system and ABS warning lights coming on. Unable to use cruise control once these lights came on.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle shifted into LIMP Mode, causing the vehicle to decelerate unintendedly. During the failure the headlights and the interior lights flashed and flickered, and the ABS, traction control, and several unknown messages were displayed. While depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal extended to the floor and the vehicle failed to immediately stop. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer who recharged the battery and performed a software update to the Crucial Control Module. The contact stated that three weeks later the same failure had reoccurred. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,995.

While driving on the interstate, the anti-collision system activated when a car swerved in front of the vehicle. The vehicle stopped and resulted in a brake failure after that. All brake warning lights came on the dash, message stating brake failure and drive with caution and limited speed was displayed. Brakes were no longer working properly.

Brakes have squeaked since the day we bought our brand new vehicle. I have contacted the dealers and called corporate. The answer I have received from both is”it is the material they are making the brake pads out of.” We paid over $50,000.00 for our vehicle and do not want to deal with squeaky brakes all the time. They will not do anything about it.

I own a 2025 GMC Traverse purchased in July 2025. The vehicle is experiencing ongoing electrical system issues. The GPS and OnStar systems are inoperative, including vehicle location services. The vehicle cannot connect to OnStar or detect a Wi-Fi connection. In addition, the adaptive cruise control is not functioning properly. These systems have been inoperative for approximately 4 weeks. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and I was informed that parts are required, but no repair timeline has been provided. The loss of GPS, OnStar emergency services, and adaptive cruise control presents a safety concern, as emergency response, vehicle tracking, and driver assistance features are unavailable while driving. The issue remains unresolved.

My vehicle experienced a brake system failure that rendered it unsafe to drive and required it to be towed to the dealership. I have been informed by the dealer that the issue involves a failure of the left rear brake caliper. The vehicle is currently out of service at the dealership. Because this issue affects the braking system, it is a significant safety concern.

The component that failed was the "shark fin" antenna cover. This houses the radio signal and hands free driving signals. The shark fin can be a safety concern if the cover fall off at higher speeds. The problem was reported to the dealer but was told it wasn't covered under warranty. It wasn't covered because according to them, I drive my car through automatic car washes. The antenna cover is not properly glued or clipped correctly. There has been no car failures or messages. It can cause other issues since the antenna is now exposed. Cannot give a clear answer on when the cover fell off I noticed it early December.
