We break down the most common Chevrolet Traverse issues and explain how an extended warranty from Granger can help cover the cost.
Protect Your SUV from Costly Repairs with Extended Coverage
The Chevrolet Traverse is a dependable three-row SUV—but like any modern vehicle, it has its quirks. From transmission issues to electrical glitches, several Traverse problems have been reported across model years, especially as the vehicle ages past the factory warranty. If you’re wondering how to avoid repair bills and keep your SUV running smoothly, an extended warranty may be the smartest investment you make.
Below, we break down the most common Chevrolet Traverse issues and explain how an extended warranty from Granger can help cover the cost.
While the current-generation Traverse is far more refined than earlier models, a few key concerns still come up:
Problem Area | Description | Affected Model Years |
Transmission | Jerky shifts, hesitation, or slipping between gears | 2020–2022 |
Electrical System | Touchscreen freezes, infotainment resets, warning lights for no reason | 2020–2023 |
Air Conditioning | Weak airflow or failure due to compressor or blend door actuator issues | 2020–2022 |
Liftgate Malfunction | Power liftgate fails to open/close or emits warning chimes repeatedly | 2021–2024 |
Sensor Failures | Lane departure sensors and rear parking assist errors | 2021–2023 |
Engine Ticking Noise | Ticking or tapping sound from valve lifters, often during cold starts | 2020–2022 |
While not every vehicle will experience these issues, they can result in expensive repairs once you’re out of warranty coverage.
Every new Chevrolet Traverse comes with this factory coverage:
Coverage Type | Term |
Bumper-to-Bumper | 3 years / 36,000 miles |
Powertrain | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
Roadside Assistance | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
Corrosion Protection | 6 years / 100,000 miles |
Once these expire, you’re responsible for repair costs—even if they’re caused by a known issue.
