When driving during rain, the ABS light came on due to wet conditions and reduced my driving speed ability, and created difficulty for traffic and for my family on the highway. This of which made me have to pull off to the side of the road and try to travel 40 minutes to a safe destination at a very slow speed while my vehicle was difficult to drive. Once parked overnight at a hotel it was okay to drive but created a very dangerous situation on the roadways. I wasn't sure that I could drive it in the morning and was hundreds of miles from home. Another situation is when my LED dash lights go out or become nearly invisible. I can't read anything on the dashboard that displays mileage or anything else. Can make it difficult for driving and safety concerns. Also, my blind spot detection quit working and has caused problems detecting cars and anything else while driving or backing up. Another issue is my side airbag came open by itself but has not launched (thankfully). I cannot repair it on my own. These are expensive issues. I had already replaced all of my tires due to the tires that had been on it kept going flat and the sensors stopped working.

All I did was take it to get new rear calipers and an alignment and when I left the shop I got a light on the dashboard that says service traction control service stabilitrak and sometimes the abs goes on and off and sometimes the airbag light comes on and turns off. I can't drive over 1.5rpm and it's jumping when trying to accelerate. I'm not getting codes. I changed the brake pedal sensor to see if that works but no. Mechanic can't seem to figure out the issue without me spending more and more money on it. I've only had it roughly a year and half. I've put alot of money into this vehichle.

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

I noticed there was a recall on similar year makes/models in regards to brake system failures. My 2015 Chevy Traverse frequently has braking issues related to the recall. It often always has noise from the brake pedal when depressed that sounds like air being expelled from the line. This happens at multiple rates of speeds in multiple driving conditions; including slow city driving, highway at high speeds, in rain and in snow as well as dry days. This has occurred from the day I purchased the vehicle in August 2016. Is the 2015 Chevy Traverse being investigated as well or will it be? thank you!

I have a 2015 Chevy Traverse with 13,000 miles. I was in a neighborhood after reversing out of the parking spot and driving down a short steep hill. I wanted to turn and tried to depress the brake pedal but it was not in the proper location. I glided, put in neutral and pressed the emergency brake to stop. It was at night and I did not see the location of the brake pedal other than that it was where it should be. I put in park and turned the car off and back on and the brake pedal appeared to be in the correct position and working. I had Chevy check it out and they said they could not find anything wrong with it. I don't know if the brake pedal was stuck to the floor and if I had pressed it if it would have worked. It seems to have an air leak sound sometimes when depressing brake and they just said it was normal though I don't recall hearing that for 13,000 miles before. I have no other vehicle to drive but now fear for my life if the brakes go out on a highway.
