Just like other complaints I have read on this car year and model, the air conditioner on the front seat passenger side blew hot air out when air was on, then it blew hot air out both before it broke completely. I agree with other customers, that this should not happen in a 4 year old car. They want 1500 to fix. Also, the two pumps went out that pump out the washer fluid, they said it was an electrical issue, this is a four year old vehicle, it should not be having so many electrical issues happening. They want another $500 to fix it. Both this are hudge concerns given it is a 4 year old car and there are many similar complaints. It is definitely a safety concern.

My 2011 chevy traverse was parked in the garage for over an hour when my husband walked in the garage and heard a crackling noise. He began walking around trying to find the noise and saw the back window of the traverse slowing cracking. When he first observed - there was no holes - only cracking. The cracking continued for unknown length of time. Two holes in the center formed as glass fell out. By the next morning, one large hole in the center had formed. The glass appears to bulge out from the inside of the car. The edges of the glass all around the perimeter of the window are gone. Temp outside was around 72 degrees. Nothing unusual about weather or temp on this day.
