Default 2025 Chevrolet Traverse

My daughter just picked up a brand new 2025 Traverse. I know there were some issues with the older v6 power plants (although her two previous 2018 and 2021had no issues). This 2025 has the 4cyl turbo which grenaded at 700 miles on their first family trip. The SUV just suddenly shut off with just electrical faults last Saturday. This was a nightmare with 4 young children, with youngest 11 months old.

The dealer had no loaner rental that could accomodate 6 passengers so they went to a rental company to get back home.

Today Thursday they finally worked on the car and dropped the pan! Unfortunately no real sense of urgency at dealership or corporate. They are replacing engine and turbo. We shall see how long this takes. Quite disappointing... especially for one who loves Chevrolet.

Definitely a safety issue especially if you are on a busy highway with your family on board and the vehicle just shuts off. Good to hear your loved ones are OK.
This has been happening to other manufacturers not only Chevrolet. Toyota issued a safety recall on there new 3rd Gen Tundra's and replacing over 100K engines free of charge. People are still driving their trucks knowing they could die at any time.

I agree our kids and grand children need reliable transportation. I bough our daughter a well taken care for used Volvo Wagon last August. On their first road trip it failed. No more I said. They now have a 2025 Toyota Hylander.

They were stuck on the NY Thruway for over an hour. When it shut down they were barely able to pull over. My understanding is only certain tow companies are permitted .

That must have been very frightening for her and her children. I would be very upset about it.

I bet there are more cases out there that we just don't hear about. If I was her I would file a compliant with the NHTSA.

You can report a vehicle safety issue to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) by: Visiting NHTSA.gov, Calling the Vehicle Safety Hotline at (888) 327-4236, and Mailing a letter to NHTSA.

This is why we went German for our new SUV purchase... not saying it can't happen to any brand or model, but I feel the non-made in USA GM cars can be hit or miss.

So glad no one was hurt Steve! Very scary on the NYSTW with heavy truck traffic too!

I just picked up an Acadia Denali with the 4 cyl turbo! I hope this is an isolated problem as I just drove to Florida from New York! Put almost 4,000 miles on it already! Good luck with the warranty claim. My daughter had her 4 cylinder turbo mustang grenade on her at 12,000 miles. Warranty covered everything!

Buddy, my son purchased an Acadia Denali 3 months ago with same and only engine option offered. When my son picked it up and opened the hood we all laughed including my daughter. No one is laughing now. It is noisy compared to the old 6 cyl and rev'd higher but when the turbo engaged plenty of power.

That's wrong and dangerous. I don't understand in this day and age why Chevrolet/GM would be making engines that fail that quickly, but, that could probably be said for many of the manufacturers these days. Disheartening to say the least.

I agree and for a person who has owned over 120 Chevrolet's in my life, I don't know that I will ever own another newer than 1972. My 08 HHR was a great car until 132k and then it was one thing after another and the electric steering on all the GM's for the past ~20 years are a very real danger when they suddenly fail too. Had that happen to 3 Chev's.
Steve, very thankful your family is safe.
