What 2015 Chevrolet Traverse owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The 2015 Chevy Traverse had a hard shifting transmission from the first day we purchased it. The Chevy Dealer said that it was a shifting software problem. That did not fix it. The hard shifting transmission caused an engine motor mount to break twice. (There was a safety recall on the motor mount) That engine motor mount caused the power steering fluid to leak out. I contacted the Chevy Dealer and they said contact General Motors. General Motors ignored the problems.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving at 5 MPH and turning into a parking spot, the steering wheel inadvertently lost power steering assist functionality. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated she was able to forcefully steer the steering wheel with the assistance of her son and the vehicle was parked. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that they would be able to diagnose the vehicle in the next 3 weeks. The contact also stated that she noticed that the steering wheel would regain power steering functionality while the accelerator pedal was depressed and would lose power steering functionality after releasing the accelerator pedal. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
Power steering pump and high pressure hose gave out needing to be replaced. GM has manufactured a replacement pump that is superior to the original obviously noticing that it was not going to hold up.
Chevy traverse 2015 with 72700 miles has problems with power steering pump its making noises, and feels hard when maneuvering, I was checking recalls but, my car its out of it because it is from 11/2014 and recall is from 12/ 2014 just a coue of days, besides that the A/C was fixed because didn't worked for a while mostly in the back seats, I payed one thousand dollars to get it fixed.
Vehicles power steering fails making it very difficult to turn the vehicle. Almost been in three accidents and just bought the car not even a month ago, due to the power steering failing.
Besides my AC going out 3x since I got it now my power steering isn't working. Tried to get it fixed but nothing is working. Heard from the other dealerships that the same problem is happening to this model and make and have to get 6-8 pumps to get it fixed. This is ridiculous to have so many problems with a brand new car. It is my first new car and I've had a lot of used cars and never had this problem

Driver side rear brake pad retainer defective. Part is made so that the brake pads do not move so that you get severe pad wear, same as if you had a frozen caliper. Dealer did nothing to fix it. My brother had a 2016 and the other side did the same thing. I also noticed my friends 2019 blazer with the same problem. Can't find one to replace it so I ground the ends of the pads so they could move freely. Other indication is spongy feel stopping the car. I wouldn't be writing this if the dealer fixed the problem in the first place. Bob johnson of rochester is the place. Problem vehicle not stopping properly
The power steering stops working randomly. It happens when I'm at a very low speed and trying to turn into a parking space for example. Once you give the vehicle gas it sometimes comes back.
