Model years Chevrolet Traverse
2014 Chevrolet Traverse
This year drew an ordinary 547 complaints for a Chevrolet Traverse — the model's median is 291. What they were about is the unusual part: 23.6% of them mention vin, against 5.4% across the other years of this generation.
Generation 1 of the Chevrolet Traverse, which began in 2009 and ran to 2017. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

What the complaints were about
- vin — 23.6% of this year's complaints, against 5.4% across the other years of this generation (4.4×).
- bags — 28.2% of this year's complaints, against 9.8% across the other years of this generation (2.9×). Owners wrote it as: bags, air bags, amount time, time recall.
- aware — 25.6% of this year's complaints, against 9.4% across the other years of this generation (2.7×).
Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Chevrolet Traverse was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
