My vehicles battery died, camera systems unavailable, cruising systems unavailable, breaking system breaker on clear highway at 55MPH with my kids in the back. The car is faulty!! 8+ months now waiting on a resolution! 7+ service visits now I’m being ignored!!
Brake on driver side front became super hot and started dragging causing the steering wheel to shake. Dealership stated calipers are fine need pins replaced. Pins on back order. In the meantime they cleaned the pins and re-lubed them and said I was good to go until the parts come in. 5 days later same exact thing.
Brakes emitting squeaking and scratching noises. Brakes are spongy. Dealerships are refusing to change the brakes or apply brake grease
I purchased the vehicle September 2024. The brakes have been squealing every time I drive the vehicle since 2 days after purchasing. I have made several complaints to multiple dealerships who keep saying squeaking is normal on brakes. Brakes squeaking continually is not normal and should not be on any vehicle.

When do brake problems show up on the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse?
