2015 Chevrolet Traverse Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V334000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The 2015 Chevy Traverse LTZ that I own is presenting with the same problems as many of its body style and year. The water intrusion has caused wiring to corrode in the side detection system & the drivers door wiring harness is presenting with open circuits. The LH side object module is throwing code U0233:00. They tested circuits at RH module. Found water intrusion in module, & corrosion on terminals & harness. Due to nature of location of modules, they recommend replacing LH & RH modules & harness. DTC B0085:05 current. Tested circuits & found open circuit internal to drivers door harness. Recommend replacing harness. The air bag code threw 2 days after I bought the veh 04/01/25, I attempted to contact the dealership I bought the vehicle from, AutoCredit in Hayden, ID, who admitted to the dangerous code being present, and that they were going to do nothing about it. Some time late April, my veh threw the code for side detection. On 05/27/25 I took my veh into Taylor & Sons Chevy in Ponderay, who dx my codes, and advised the above was needed. They also confirmed the fact that when that airbag code is present, that none of my airbags would deploy at time of impact if a collision occurred. This is a huge safety risk as much of my daily commute is on the hwy, and the influx of drivers in my area not familiar with the roads is increasing daily. My side detection system is a safety hazard as well due to the Traverse’s blind spots. Thank you for your time. I did not know what to do until I contacted Chevy directly who advised me to contact the NHTSA.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle speed unintendedly decelerated to 25 MPH. During the failure the message "Traction Off", "Engine Power Reduce" and "Stabili-trac" were displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who replaced the accelerator pedal sensor on several occasions, but the failure had eventually reoccurred. The vehicle was recently taken to the local dealer who was unable to reproduce the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 67,206.

Our vehicle has a hole/leak in the pipe before the catalytic converter. This is a known problem in other years of the Traverse, and the warranty was increased substantially to fix an obvious and proven issue. GM needs to repair our 2015 Chevrolet Traverse at no cost to us before the fumes cause harm to anyone in the cabin.

My engine light came on. When I get gas the car will not just start there is a fuel leak code and a valve code. Getting looked at next week at the dealer

wHEN IT RAIN, WATER IS GETTING INTO MY CAR FROM SOMEWHERE. IT HAS KNOCKED OUT MY DASHBOARD AND MY RADIO NO LONGER WORKS.THE WATER GETS IN TO THE FRONT PART OF THE CAR AND END UP IN MY FRONT MIDDLE CONSOLE. NO BODY CAN TELL WHERE THE LEAK IS COMING FROM NOR EXPLAIN HOW IT GET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CUP HOLDER AND FLOODING MY FLOOR AND SEAT. NOTHING IS SHOWING ON MY DASHBOARD OR THE MILES DISPLAYED. I NEED HELP TO STOP THIS DEFECT.

While operating the vehicle, the steering column became detached, creating an immediate and severe safety hazard. Upon inspection, the column appeared to be improperly secured using hose clamps instead of proper manufacturer components.

The 2015 Chevy Traverse had a hard shifting transmission from the first day we purchased it. The Chevy Dealer said that it was a shifting software problem. That did not fix it. The hard shifting transmission caused an engine motor mount to break twice. (There was a safety recall on the motor mount) That engine motor mount caused the power steering fluid to leak out. I contacted the Chevy Dealer and they said contact General Motors. General Motors ignored the problems.

Air bag on right side is off, Vehicle front dash has the air bag needs to be serviced. this started as of the 1st month of purchased, took to dealership and they could not duplicated the problem. The air bag would go off and off from time to time, but by the time I had my appointment at the dealership it would go back on. Now I am out of warranty and the light is always red that the air bag on the right side is off. I noticed that when we would close the back of the vehicle after placing groceries the light would go off and when closing again it would go off. Now it is always on indicating that the right air bag is not on.

The second seat seat buckled one on driver side and the one in middle have broken. My families safety is at risk because we are not able to use the seatbelts with these broken buckles. No I have not taken it to a dealer or independent repair shop nor has it been inspected. No warning lamps or messages appeared when it first appeared nor has it since. My car has not been in an accident.

My seat belt broke off, the cables that holds it together just broke and this is something not sure how it would happen.

AIR BAG SIGNAL AND HIGHWAYS PUSH ME TO RIGHT SIDE

On March 4, 2023, I purchased a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse from Landers Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram located in Norman, Oklahoma. Before actually purchasing the vehicle and after inspection it was stated to the dealership that the [XXX] would not purchase the vehicle with the various problems notated before purchase. After receiving a verbal agreement that the problems would be fixed my wife and I signed the contract. My wife and I took the car to Lawton Oklahoma from Mach 4 to March 8 when we were to return the vehicle for repairs. Then on March 17, 2023, we picked the vehicle up from Landers after repairs. After leaving Landers Chrysler and then getting onto HE Bailey Turnpike the vehicle’s check engine light came back on, and the passenger headlight was out again. However, on March 20, 2023, [XXX] wrote a letter to Landers Chrysler with several complaints which needed to be rectified. •RE: Failure to disclose material information, and/or making a false representation of a present or past material fact such as a diagnostic trouble code: (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold [possible needed repairs] 2015 Chevrolet Traverse) known to dealer, and by the dealer’s failing to disclose such information involving the vehicle's history to a recent purchaser, and Lending Institution. Landers Chrysler did fix the problem with the check engine light, but refused to fix the front headlight problem, and told the [XXX] that since they had a service contract, that should cover the headlight situation. However, that is not the case. The service contract does not cover headlight problems, and Classic Chevrolet where the vehicle is now located wants to charge me over $2000 to fix the problem. Although my wife and I thought that the headlight was fixed, it was later learned that it was not. I sincerely believe that Landers Chrysler knew that the headlights and possibly light switches had serious problems, then sold the vehicle knowing this.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND REAR EXTERIOR LIGHTING RETAINED WATER EACH TIME IT RAINED BETWEEN THE BODY AND BULBS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BELLAVIA CHEVROLET BUICK (199 NJ-17, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ 07073, (201) 355-2885) WHERE THE LIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED.

Every so often, when I brake, just before the car should come to a complete stop, the engine seems to rev and the car will keep moving forward a few feet. Chevy dealership had 3 different service technicians drive the car to try to recreate the problem, but since it is a rare occurrence, they did not experience the issue. Googling the scenario returns many who say it may be a vacuum leak in the brake booster. Dealership said the brake booster is fine. Floor mat interference with the gas pedal has also been mentioned. I removed the floor mat, and I still have the issue. Dealership said the brakes themselves are fine, and the diagnostic tool returned no problem codes. They also searched for any recalls, but none were found. Any insight provided is appreciated.

While driving the traction control, stabilitrac, all wheel drive, and abs systems will turn off and says to survive them. We have had the vehicle in to 3 different mechanic shops and the issue still persists. Each time a different "fix". This time the wheel speed sensor in the rear was replaced. We have had the other rear wheel speed senor replaced previously as well as the rear wheel bearing hub assembly.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact discovered that the front driver side curtain air bag cover panel was loose and unsecured.

Additionally, the front passenger’s seat occupant detection sensor had failed causing the air bag warning light to remain illuminated.

I was never informed of this recall! I just happened to check due to a seperate issue that's been happening(the transmission seems to be slipping, which I also read 2015 traverse's have that recall too, just not under my VIN) But it upsets me that I never received notice on this and the recall was in May 2023 and it's now March 2025!! I drive this car DAILY and also have my boyfriend in the passenger seat DAILY on our commute to and from work!!
