2025 Chevrolet Traverse
This year drew an ordinary 171 complaints for a Chevrolet Traverse — the model's median is 313. What they were about is the unusual part: 32.7% of them mention master, against 0% across the model's other years.
Generation 3 of the Chevrolet Traverse, which began in 2024. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.

The service ESC, service brake assist came on. The ABS light, Brake light, crash light and lane assist light are all on. The dealership said it is the Brake Master Cylinder and module with fluid that is the problem and it is on national back order.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Chevrolet Traverse was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
