The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving, approaching a traffic light, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), rear collision warning, service assist, front collision warning, check engine light, and multiple brake warning lights illuminated. The emergency brake failed to function. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where the master cylinder failure was diagnosed, and the part was replaced. However, while driving after the repair, a complete brake failure occurred alongside the same warning lights. The contact lost control of the vehicle and traversed two intersections. The contact attempted multiple times to stop the vehicle, and the contact's daughter exited the moving vehicle before the contact stopped the engine by depressing the ignition button. The police were contacted, and a CAD report was generated. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer, where a second master cylinder failure was diagnosed and repaired under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 19,357.

While I was pulling into an intersection, my brakes and break system failed. The brake pedal went straight to the floor without any resistance. I had no ability to put on an emergency break. I was able to navigate into a parking lot where i still could not get my vehicle to come to a complete stop but I was able to put it into park. The warning on my car read "Break assist failure. Press hard to break. Speed limited." I was already driving in traffic while I received this warning.

Sudden slamming on the brake automatically when in reverse and there is nothing around the car to cause this. Has happened many times The car will alert that something is too close when turning right by there is nothing there. It is intermittent.

Wife had car sitting over night from doing a EMS shift. Went out to car in morning to start to return home and when car started ABS light, ECS light, Brake Light, and Collision light came on. This has resulted in no ABS or safety features. Called dealer and can't look at car for over a month. There was no mention about not driving. If the wife needs ABS or front radar, she will not have it resulting in a more serious accident.

Approx 5/19/26 Forward Collision Detection check light randomly came on when driving home and showed notifications showing "Service ESC" "Service Traction Control" then started showing notifications for the collision sensors unavailable and continuously flickering them across the dash. The Fwd collision symbol would come on and off randomly. Finally was able to take it to the dealership on 6/8/26. Dealership found 6 codes and updated the image processing module. The Fwd Collision symbol is back on and off, notifications are flickering across the dash more frequently and now the check engine light is constantly on as of 6/14/26. Car is currently back at the dealership. Pictures and videos were taken of the issue happening to provide extra proof and given to the techs. These sensors failing at any time could cause the vehicle to randomly brake, not brake, and possibly not register a potential accident and avoid it. This vehicle is our daily driver and is the vehicle my son's car seat is in so it's not just my safety, it's the safety of my wife and baby. It's the safety of anyone else who has this type of vehicle with these issues. Understandably it's always the drivers responsibility to pay attention to the road and surroundings but there's nothing the driver can do if the vehicle randomly shuts off or stops or slams on the brakes or another type of malfunction while out on the road. This vehicle has been in and out of the dealership 5 times now for three different things, every time it's picked up, the problem is still there or comes back within days. It's a pain moving all the baby gear back and forth, on top of the rentals we have been given have been so small, you can't even fit a stroller and groceries per-say in the trunk.

Our car one day showed several illuminated dash lights regarding brake system, along with several pop up warnings. We took it to a Chevrolet dealer for service. They’ve had it for 54 days. They’ve confirmed widespread brake system and electrical system failure, but even after escalating to corporate tech assistance, there is no progress nor resolution available. We were told they have at least a dozen others with this same issue. It is wildly inappropriate that there has not been a recall issued as this is a serious safety defect. We demand a buyback from GM for putting this death trap on the market knowing they had these issues with 2024 models but continuing to roll 2025 and 2026 models with the same issues.

I go to turn on the car on a Friday night and it won’t turn on. I got multiple failures and it said fatal errors take to dealer immediately. I brought the car to the dealer and they said the control panel needs to be replaced and they’re estimating at least a month. I’m one of four cars on a lot that need work for the same exact issue.
