2 issues: 1: Brakes did not stop car nor did the abs braking system kick in causing the car to not stop on full demand! 2 cars slammed on their brakes at a yellow light instead of going thru causing a small number kiss Was going 35mph and when braking, car didn-??t fully stop and out brakes tho to the floor. Abs did not kick in. No lights on dash board. 2: The very Next morning, The traction control light came on saying service the stabilitrak, traction control. The car ins denied it was from car accident. When The traction control light comes on the dashboard, by itself) it causes the car to automatically brake when accelerating whenever it chooses to come on causing it to be unsafe in traffic. You cannot control the button to turn it off. This has been an issue coming on and off at random to current.

I have a 2016 Chevy Traverse. The -??traction control off-?? light has been on for about 2 months now, along with the service stabilitrak light, and ABS light. When driving it seems is if though my ABS is kicking in when it should not be. Since those lights have been on, the left passenger brakes seem to also be affected. Anytime I first begin driving until I hit about 30mph, or anytime I press the brakes, it feels like my brakes are locking up-??or a better way to describe it is when driving in the snow and your ABS kicks in and you can feel it in your brake pedal like the brakes are locked up, but there is no snow. Recently there were two times when I was coming to a stop light and nearly hit the stopped car in front of me because my brakes locked up and the pedal wouldn-??t go down. Now, almost a week ago when trying to leave, my car will not start at all. The battery is new and the lights all work. The power of the car turns on but it doesn-??t turn over to start or if it does it struggles to stay started and then dies right away. I have seen tons and tons of other videos or reviews of other traverse owners complaining of the same problem ranging from 2014-2017 traverse. Many people take theirs to a dealership and even they can-??t figure out the problem or they say it-??s a glitch in the system. There are far too many other chevy traverse vehicles having the same issue. The only difference with theirs is the lights come on every so often. Mine don-??t turn off, they are always on. This is extremely dangerous, much more dangerous than the air bag recall. These vehicles should be recalled immediately before something very serious happens. I have been without a vehicle now for a week while I-??ve had to miss work and my kids have had to miss school. I have had the problem checked by a professional mechanic but couldn-??t figure it out either. No one else has looked at it as it is dead so I can-??t take it anywhere. It is available upon request for inspection.

Re: 2016 Chevrolet Traverse with 56,000 miles Feb. 2, 2021, I was returning home from running errands, pulled into the driveway and per my normal routine, rolled just past the garage door opening in order to back into the garage. When I applied the brake, the car accelerated independently to full throttle and jumped about 10 or 12 feet, sideswiped a tree at the curve in the drive and took out a 4X4 post holding my birdfeeder. I continued applying the brake but could not stop the car. By steering, I was able to miss another tree and drove into the back yard. The car was headed toward the barn about 50 yards away, but I was able to get the transmission into park. The air bags did not deploy when I hit the tree, and I was not injured. As this was on private property with no damage except to the car, a police report was not filed. Did $12,000+ in damages plus 4 wks to fix. The Chevy dealer from whom the car was purchased said they would have someone from GM to run a diagnostic. That was 2 wks ago and they still have my car but have done nothing as of yet.

We bought a used vehicle from acadiana Mazda, lafayette la. About a week from having it the emergency brake light comes on. We bring it in, they say they can't find anything wrong so we take it back. The next week, the salesman gives us a call and says that they need to replace the windshield, after asking for a sales ticket for several days, they give us a sales ticket from the week before that says that they think the vehicle has a water leak. (service ticket is enclosed) I come home that night before bringing it in and I find rust dripping from the emergency brake, standing water under my flooring, rust / corrosion all over the bottom parts of the car. What is suspected by the car dealership is that the windshield wasn't sealed right and when it would rain it would come in from the windshield and drip down through the emergency brake. We figured there were 37 days of rain since they had it and all of that rain was going into the vehicle. I was not informed of this prior to buying the car. I tried to return it but they refused and wanted to fix it. That was just sealing the windshield, the brake sensor and replacing the flooring. I did not feel that was good enough. To avoid a legal battle and concerned for my family's safety, I traded it in. I believe there may be some electrical issues, and other concerns with the car that they will not fix so I am reporting this for someone else's safety. It may also have been flooded but that wasn't disclosed when the first owner traded it in but that is just speculation. Please investigate.

Enterprise rented me the Chevy Traverse. I experienced the problem when I was backing out of a parking area off a dirt road. I'd been waiting for the car behind me to back out so that I could back out. The car was stationary, weather sunny and warm, middle of the day. I turned on the ignition, had my foot on the brake, put it into reverse and next thing I knew I was hurtling backwards. It felt like being sucked backward and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I smashed into the car behind me and it was terrifying both for me and, I'm sure, for the guy behind me who suddenly had this SUV crashing into the front of his car. He thought his car was totaled. The insurance companies are handling it, but I told both my insurance company and enterprise that I thought the Traverse had surged. I did eventually drive the vehicle back home (avoiding reverse as much as possible), and noticed when the car was in cruise control mode that same surge-feeling in drive when going up a hill--like it was going way too fast. Later, I saw online a complaint of a similar thing (reverse surge) happening with a 2009 Traverse. I don't think this car should be on the road, and the people handling the claim for enterprise say that it's not (which is good), but they just warned me that if their inspection doesn't show a problem with the vehicle, I could be liable for expenses since it has been pulled from their fleet. At this point, I've been waiting close to a month for this inspection, at which I was told I could be present, to be scheduled. Notes: I don't know exactly what the problem was so I checked each box that seemed likely. Also, only the other vehicle was towed.
