2018 Chevrolet Traverse

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE BEING PUT IN PARK. I WOULD SHIFT THE CONTROL TO PARK BUT WOULD GET WARNINGS PARK WAS NOT ENGAGED. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. NOW I AM GETTING A MESSAGE TO SERVICE PARKING BRAKE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT USE THE PARKING BRAKE, SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SERVICE IS NEEDED. BOTH PROBLEMS WERE WHEN CAR WAS IN PARK. THE 'SERVICE PARKING BRAKE' WARNING STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING.

WE PARKED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE (TURNING IT OFF) ON A SLIGHT GRADE AS WE NORMALLY DO IN THE FRONT OF OUR HOUSE ON A PUBLIC STREET. WE AWOKE THE NEXT MORNING TO DISCOVER THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ADVANCED OR SLID FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 15' COMING TO REST AGAINST A TELEPHONE POLE ADJACENT TO OUR CORNER PROPERTY. IF THE TELEPHONE POLE WAS NOT IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE IT WOULD HAVE CROSSED A SIDE STREET AND COME TO REST IN OUR NEIGHBORS FRONT YARD. UPON VIEWING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE DRIFT FORWARD, BEFORE ENTERING THE VEHICLE WE COULD SEE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CLEARLY IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD (1) PREVIOUS SERVICE BY A DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE GEARS ARE GRINDING AND THE CAR IS BREAKING HARDER THAN I AM APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND I CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE SHUTTERING AND GRINDING TO A STOP THROUGH THE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE DOES STOP, BUT A WARNING THEN DISPLAYS ON THE DASH "BRAKE ASSIST ACTIVATED". THIS WARNING DISPLAYS EVERYTIME THE BRAKES ARE USED. ONLY HAVE DISABLING THE FORWARD COLLISION BREAK ASSIST DOES THE VEHICLE THEN DRIVE NORMAL. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED TWICE NOW ONCE IN TOWN DRIVING 30-40 MILES AN HOUR AND ANOTHER STOPPING COMING UP TO A LIGHT AT INTERSECTION.

REPORTED BRAKES SQUEAKING IN DECEMBER OF 2019. NOW BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES SQUEAKING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES NOW. THEY STATE IT'S NOISE, NOT A BRAKE WEAR ISSUE. OUR NEIGHBORS ALSO HAVE A 2018 ARCADIA WHICH DOES THE SAME SQUEAKING AS OURS BOTH WHEN YOU FIRST START THE VEHICLE OR APPLY ANY TRACTION SUCH AS GOING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, SLOW BREAKING OR DRIVING AND BRAKES ON A LOW MPH SPEED.

AUTO WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN PUT IN PARK. MESSAGE INDICATES 'PUT IN PARK'. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. ENGINE WILL GO OFF, ELECTRONICS STAY ON. WOULD DRAIN BATTERY IF LEFT ON. ALSO, BLUETOOTH CONTINUES TO DISCONNECT. BRAKES SQUEAK CONSTANTLY, FROM THE TIME IT WAS DRIVEN OFF THE LOT. CAR STUTTERS WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER MANY TIMES, SUPPOSEDLY 'FIXED'. I WAS TOLD TO TRY HIGHER OCTANE GAS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE INCREASING. WE HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL CHEVROLETS, THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST VEHICLE AS FAR AS PROBLEMS WHICH, AFTER 2-1/2 YEARS, HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL??? CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER, AGAIN. *TR

VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED ALLOWING THE PEDAL TO TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR. ONLY A SMALL ABOUT OF REAR BRAKE PRESSURE ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO STOP. ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED TO BE A FAILED MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING ALL BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, SUCKING IN AIR CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. HAD THE CAR NOT BEEN MOVING VERY SLOW WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. VEHICLE ONLY HS 39K MILES. I AM BEING MADE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. WORKING WITH GM TO UNDERSTAND IF THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR A BRAKE FAILURE ON A ALMOST NEW VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING " REDUCED BRAKING POWER---GET SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. SAFETY CONCERN. I TOOK CAR INTO THE DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL HAD FAILED AND THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I CAN'T BELIEVE BECAUSE OF THE LOW MILAGE AND SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN THAT THIS REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED.

PARKING BRAKE WOULDN'T RELEASE. SERVICE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ON. I HAD PARKED ON A SLIGHT HILL. AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS, I STARTED MY VEHICLE, PRESSED THE BUTTON, SHIFTED TO REVERSE, AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE. ODD! I LOOKED AT THE CLUSTER AND NOTICED THE 'PARK' FLASHING AND THE SERVICE PARKING BREAK LIGHT ON. I TRIED SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE MULTIPLE TIMES AND EACH TIME PUSHING THE BUTTON. NO LUCK. I LEFT MY VEHICLE AT THE LOCATION SINCE IT WAS LATE AND SAFE. THE NEXT MORNING BEFORE HAVING IT TOWED, I TRIED ONCE MORE TO PUSH THE PARKING BRAKE BUTTON AND IT SUCCESSFULLY DISENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE SERVICE LIGHT CLEARED ITSELF. I NOTICED ON A FORUM THAT 2018 TRAVERSES HAVE THIS ISSUE AND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY OR LETTING IT SIT FOR A FEW HOURS SOMETIMES RESOLVES THIS RECURRING ISSUE BUT NEVER FIXES IT.

EXPORT VERSION ONLY. COUNTRY: COLOMBIA. 1. SHITF TO PARK. WHEN YOU PARK THE VEHICLE ASK YOU TO PUT IT IN PARK AND IT IS ALREADY. DEALER IS WORKING ON THAT AS I WRITE THIS THREAD. TECH FOUND A RECALL OR BULLETIN FROM MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR OR POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT OF SOME PARTS 2. SERVICE STABILITRACK. IN MANY AND RAMDOM OCACIONS THIS SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON AND 20 SECONDS LATER GOES OFF. WHEN STOPPING AT A LIGHT. DEALER UNABLE TO DUPLICATE AND NO FIX YET 3. FUEL ECONOMY SYSTEM, IT DOES NOT WORK RIGHT NOW, AND IT HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE. DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN YOU STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. DELAER HAS UPDATED SOFTWARE IN ORDER TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. 4. LOCKING AUDIO CONFIRMATION. WHEN YOU MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS IT GIVES YOU AN AUDIO OR LIGHTS CONFIRMATION. IT DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE. DEALER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE. 5. ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE. THE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED IT SELF WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION 5 MPH AND THE E. BRAKE CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. TURN THE ENGINE OFF SEVERAL TIMES, PUT IN PARKING, NEUTRAL ETC ETC. AFTER 5 MINUTES OF BLOCKING TRAFFIC HAD TO FORCE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT. TURN VEHICLE OFF AND CALLED THE FLAT BED. WHILE WAITING 15-20 MINUTES LATER TURN VEHICLE ON AND SURPRISE!!! IT WAS FIXED. MAGIC. THE E BRAKE WAS OFF AND THE VEHICLE WAS FREE. WHILE THIS WAS GOING ON THE E BRAKE LIGHT (RED) WAS ON, AND SERVICE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT (AMBER) WAS FLASING ALL THE TIME. DEALER DID AN UPDATE TO THE SYSTEM AND NOT SURE IF IT WILL HAPPENED AGAIN. BUT THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED. ONCE AT MY HOUSE ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO BUT IT TOOK ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND IT FIX IT SELF SO I DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO IT. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AT A SHOPPING CENTER BUT SHE LEFT IT IN THE LOT AND WENT BACK SHOPPING AND WHEN IT CAME OUT IT WAS FIXED.
