Model years Chevrolet Traverse
2024 Chevrolet Traverse
This year drew an ordinary 130 complaints for a Chevrolet Traverse — the model's median is 313. What they were about is the unusual part: 27.7% of them mention brakes, against 3.3% across the model's other years.
First year of a new generation. The Chevrolet Traverse was redesigned for 2024. A first year carries problems nobody has found yet, and they are found by the people who buy it — which is worth knowing before you become one of them.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

What the complaints were about
- brakes — 27.7% of this year's complaints, against 3.3% across the model's other years (8.4×).
- brake — 30% of this year's complaints, against 4.9% across the model's other years (6.2×).
- messages — 15.4% of this year's complaints, against 3% across the model's other years (5.2×). Owners wrote it as: messages, appeared, master cylinder, forward collision.
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.
What owners wrote

while driving approximately 15 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle jolted forward with two unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the Forward Collision Avoidance and 4WD Unavailable messages were displayed. The vehicle was…

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.
