2022 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact that while driving at approximately 59 MPH, and cruise control possibly activated, the brake pedal was depressed and felt abnormally stiff, the vehicle did not slow down as intended and there was no pulsating while braking. The vehicle then side-swiped a vehicle in the right-turning lane. The vehicle parking brake was applied to bring the vehicle to a stop. Both vehicles sustained damages. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road. No injuries were sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where the failure was not able to be replicated. Additionally, a mobile mechanic from the dealer was sent to the residence where the failure was not able to be replicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,600.

I wish to report GM still has an issue with broken bracket/exhaust defect on the 2022 model, N222385510.

I have a 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. OnStar suddenly stopped working in my vehicle. Chevy dealership diagnosed it and said that the telecommunications control module is bad and needs replaced. I haven’t even had this vehicle that long and suddenly the telecommunications control module is bad. This is a safety issue because when traveling and if something were to happen (accident, emergency) I have no access to my OnStar. Also, I am being told that I have to pay for this out of pocket and the part is on back order and will not be here until mid July (I have to wait another month and a half).

Auto developed a rattle and we could not locate the noise. Then we started hearing an exhaust leak and that was leaving carbon deposits on the flex pipe and bracket. Took car to dealership and it was 11,000 out of warranty. The broken pipe and gasket were replaced at my cost. This appears to be a known issue caused by broken or poor weld. GM has a service bulletin for this issue (PIP5681C) but it just covers cars up to year 2021 and not the 2022 year.

The front exhaust pipe on my 2022 Chevy Traverse has a defect which mirrors existing NHTSA recalls on 2019-2021 Chevy Traverse models. The bracket that attaches the two singular pipes together rusts out and pulls the bracket away from the pipe, exposing a loud exhaust leak, resulting in loss of power and backpressure to the motor. GM is aware of this problem, and has no available parts to resolve it and has offered no alternative repairs in the absence of parts. This makes my vehicle undriveable. That results in my employer risking my employment because I cannot travel to the office. Because there is no official recall on this, no loaner car can be offered by GM, and no rental car can be covered either. Sands Glendale Chevrolet has inspected this vehicle and has confirmed this "has been happening a lot" and has no solutions for me.

About 1 week ago, I began getting "Shift To Park" warnings/notifications when I would park the car and turn off the engine. To make it stop, I usually have to turn the car back on, shift to a different gear, shift back to Park, wiggle the gear shift around side to side and back and forth within the Park gear. Sometimes it will have remedied when I attempt to turn the car off the second time, and other times I need to do the same procedure again. In looking it up online, this is a known issue, and an ongoing issue, with GM vehicles over the past several years with no fix or attention to mandate a correction. This seems to effect GM vehicles of multiple models and can allow the vehicle to roll (and my driveway is a small hill on the top of the hill/cul d' sac that we live in). When it fails to recognize the vehicle is in Park, I cannot exit the car, the alerts and chimes continue and would ultimately drain my battery if it failed to recognize that it was in Park. I do have an appointment scheduled for the dealership to check since I am under warranty still. My vehicle only has less than 29,000 miles and is not driven on rough or challenging terrain, with local drives of less than 10 miles generally. Only 1 driver for this vehicle as well.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was a loud rattling sound coming from the exhaust system and exhaust fumes was entering the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who determined that the exhaust pipes were cracked and had become unsecured and that the entire exhaust system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was concerned that carbon monoxide could enter the vehicle creating a safety hazard while operating the vehicle. The failure mileage was 50,300.

per the tech at the dealership the noise in my engine is coming from the front exhaust pipe near the hanger it is starting to rust and has made a small hole that is causing the excessive engine noise. gm has a special coverage bulletine for the 2021 traverse (n22238550) this is the same exact thing my 2022 travers is doing. This is so unsafe , you can smell fumes in the vehicle and the car is getting bad mileage and the engine is very loud. The dealer and chevy c/s said there is nothing they can do because the 2022 traverse are not included in the gm special coverage(n22238550). Gm needs to take response ability for the 2022 as well and fix the issue and replace the pipe and the catalytic converter. Hope someone will listen and take this serious and make gm do the right thing for the consumer.

The exhaust pipe separated from the mounting bracket resulting in damage to the pipe leading to the manifold. This is a 2 year old vehicle. This issue has been reported in multiple years of Chevrolet Traverses. Chevrolet extended warranties on 2021 Chevrolet Traverses to 150,000 mile for this exact issue but clearly have not fixed the problem for the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. N222385510 There was no warning of this issue.

Wife was driving my kids to school this am. Driving up a slight hill on a speed limit 55 road vehicle started slowing down and wouldn’t accelerate. Stopped for a traffic light and it very slowly accelerated like a manual transmission stuck in a higher gear. Check engine light went on. I Was able to drive the traverse to the local gmc/Buick dealer which mentioned they were able to download some codes about possible transmission failure - super dangerous and very concerning for a ~1.5 year old vehicle with under 13,000 miles. This could be a major safety issue. Vehicle left at dealer, at this time no confirmed diagnosis but dealer acknowledged there’s a problem.
