In owners' own words
Took my Traverse through a car wash and when putting the vehicle from Neutral to Drive, a slew of lights turned on (ABS, traction control, check engine light). Car will be evaluated this coming week but all signs are pointing to the brake module and master cylinder as seen all over the internet and Reddit. This is a serious, common issue with GM vehicles and something needs to be done asap about this. Service brakes
2025 Traverse ABS brake system failed, and master cylinder broke at 12K. All of the safety features, Lane Departure, Forward Crash detection, blind spot, automatic braking system all stop working with no signs that it was failing! Extremely unsafe! Traverse are meant to be family vehicles, well with major functions failures this kind of problem is going be recipe for disaster if not recalled ASAP. Service brakes
Vehicle leaked a large amount of transmission fluid because it had loose pump bolts per a GM/Chevy bulletin. The vehicle has shifting problems and vibration issues. The vehicle has done in multiple instances phantom braking. It has happened while parking and while exiting praking spaces and once on the Florida state road 924. Driver was able to maintain control of the wheel and avoid a collision. Service brakes
