Very disappointed with the MPG.
We get 17 MPG combined.
Quality is very good.
Utility is not as good as our minivan was.

Review
I have had 3 GM mini vans before this vehicle and loved each of them. I wanted to buy another mini van, but GM stopped makeing them. I reluctantly bought this vehicle as it has only a few inches shorter wheelbase. I do not like the look of the exterior, the console takes up a lot of space--no longer can the passenger get up and move to the back while traveling. I find the seat design very uncomfortable and my back is in pain constantly and it rides a lot rougher than my mini vans did. The interior is smaller, etc. I do not like the large wheels and I get lousy gas mileage (19 mpg Hwy). My mini vans would get up to 26 mpg. Wish I hadn't bought it! It is peppy on the highway.

We were involved in an accident. The other car was totaled and very little damage to my right front bumper area. My vehicle drives like a dream, performs fantastically, and is built like a tank for safety. The front end folded like it should have for optimal protection and safety. I love this car and it is so worth the money we paid for it.

I have less than 5000 miles in less than 3 months and the car has been into the shop at least 10 times already. The actuator motor was replaced in under 1000 miles, the entire computer went out in less than 2000 miles, which left me stranded in the middle of the night away from home, and there has continued to be one thing after another going wrong with this vehicle.
Too bad GM won't stand behind their vehicles cause all I have gotten from them is the run around and a "maintenance package".
I just want a reliable vehicle and I didn't think that was too much to ask for when I purchased it.

Love the vehicle.
Very Comfortable.
Mileage well its so so.
15 city and 19 Hwy (OK 20 going downhill on a long mountain highway).
Nice amenities.
Like it a heck of a lot better than my Honda Pilot that it replaced.
Now for the negative.
For some strange reason that the dealer can't figure out, when the AC is on Fresh Air coming in, and you come to a stop, you get noxious Sulfer like, or propane like smells coming into the passenger compartment.
Doesn't happen when AC is on Recirculate.
I've seen similar complaints on the Chevrolet Traverse Forum.

Traded in 2004 Saturn VUE AWD to make room for 3rd carseat and needed 3rd row. Also test drove Acadia,Enclave,Explorer,Pilot, and Highlander.
Narrowed our choice between Highlander and Traverse.
Both had very good ride and comfort, but Traverse won out primarily on room behind 3rd row (could not fit golf bag or stroller in Highlander if 3rd row up). Insisted on 2nd row captain's chairs for easier access to 3rd row (Pilot does not have this option). Would recommend captain's chairs if you plan on puting carseats in 2nd row, otherwise access to third row difficult.
Almost have 1K miles on it and love it.
Great get up & go when I need to pass someone. Very Happy so far.

Has anyone else had problems with the seat belt in the middle row breaking.
After only 63,000 miles on my 2009 traverse, the seat belt broke.
Chevy won't fix cause it is out of warranty.
what kind of seat belt breaks with only 63,000 miles on
a car. Glad I was not in a wreck!!!

I was looking for a truck to replace my 1999 Suburban 2500. This truck was an excellent choice, we can still pull our 23 foot boat with ease.

I have been subjected to a unexpected scare in my Traverse and wonder if anyone had the same fate. On accelerating to overtake
there was a multiple shift of the gears (at least 2 back)
which caused the motor to hesitate and put me in a precarious position of slowing down instead of speeding up to pass other vehicles.
I have possessed a Cadillac SRX 2011 that had the same problem so I assume the the problem is in the transmission as both vehicles have the 6 speed auto tranny. I would be interested in hearing from other owners with same or similar problem
