Common Problems with the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse
Transmission Issues — Noticeable Shuddering; Rough Shifting When Starting To Drive.
Electrical Problems:
“On 02/24/2023 in the middle of a storm our Headlights suddenly going out for a few hours while driving the car when the knob is on AUTO. Had to turn them on manually. Then the next day we turned the car on they worked just fine. A couple hours later they went out again. Today 02/26/2023 they’re working again. This is a safety issue.”
“There is an electrical short that keeps shutting down the stereo. I bought my car new Dec 2020. In the summer of 2022 I was driving my car and the stereo and dashboard suddenly shut off. I pulled over and it came back on after a few seconds. I was told by Chevrolet first that the stereo was faulty and then that there was an electrical problem affecting the stereo. On Dec 24, 2022 I was driving my car and again the stereo suddenly shut off and started power cycling, turning off and turning on several times. I took it in to be inspected on Dec 26, 2022 and was told that there was an electrical issue affecting the stereo and they would have to get approval from the warranty company to have it replaced again. It was finally replaced yesterday 02/17/2023. Now I’m wondering if there’s an electrical problem what’s going to be affected next or how long til it causes problems again. I don’t feel safe driving my children in the car if it’s having an electrical problem.”
“Rear camera stopped working aide senors stopped working. After several months of trying to fix this they finally might have this on the recall list for some cable kit, which they did not totally put on mine because due to covid they are backed up on manufacturing, I do not rely on back up camera but it is nice to double check.have had it in 4 different time to be fixed also raide continue to have problems. Been replaced 3 times.”
Engine Problems:
“Muffler pipes are rubbing on the metal that was used to hold the muffler pipes from dragging. There is nothing to stop this from happening. If it’s Rubbing holes in the muffler then it’s allowing the fumes into the ozone layer and also wasting gas and messing the engine up m, causing the engine to read wrong. This is not Normal wear and tear this is a manufactured default that should not be my responsibility bc it wasn’t secured correctly.”
“I was driving down the street and my car started to randomly jerk. When I pushed the gas the car got slower. Once in a safe place I pulled over and sat there for a few minutes. When I accelerated again the car had a sound like the car was speeding up, but there was no speed. It drifted. So I crossed the traffic light and pulled over again. I turned the car off. I waited for about 5 minutes, turned the car on and that's when the engine light came on. I had to drive slower to make it home. Once I made it home I put the car in Reverse and noticed that my back up camera was not working as well. I am so frustrated.”
