Ive had 4 Chevy vehicles. All good experiences, until I bought the 2012 traverse for my wife and kids. Its been problematic since day one. Problems include vibration noises from the exhaust (it took 3 tries to fix that), front speaker works sometimes (not fixed yet), air bag light comes on often (6 attempts, still not fixed), its had motor mounts replaced etc. Tried to get some help from GM to get trade-in assistance to by another new chevy traverse, they offered ZERO dollars. Asked for to extend the warenty as it will expire at 36000 miles and I have 30,000 they said no to that too. Asked for a loaner while it in the shop no to that too, only if it stays over night.

Comfortable car but watch the transmission

2012 Chevrolet Traverse LTZ 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

The Traverse LTZ is a very nice and comfortable vehicle. We bought it to transport an elderly parent who has mobility issues and it has been great for this purpose. The downside is the transmission. It has been unreliable since we purchased it(used). Eventually we will have to replace the transmission($3500 - $4000). Which we will do because we like everything else about the vehicle. We paid a moderately low price for the vehicle, so I don't feel like we was short changed. Just be aware when you are making your decision that this expense is probably part of the total package.

2012 Chevrolet Traverse LT 4dr SUV w/2LT (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

This car is fantastic other than the speakers not working all the time. The ride and control is great, a very quiet ride. Seats 7-8 adults no problem. Cargo space is fantastic. Gas mileage is great! We get about 16-18 in the city and 22-25 on the highway. It is not AWD but it is good in the snow. Build Quality is great. Reliability is amazing at 53,000 miles. Other than the speakers. It has had no repairs other than brakes, oil, and fluids.

Began vehicle search for an eight seat SUV with the Tahoe, but after seeing the lack of cargo room behind the third row seats, and the clunky removal of 3rd row seats (instead of folding down into the car floorboard) we ruled it out. The Traverse offered a surprising amount of room and a more affordable price. We were impressed with the Buick Enclave, but couldn't find one equipped like we wanted in our region and the price was more than the Traverse for a comparable cloth model. Drove the Honda Pilot and was very disappointed with road and wind noise - felt plastic/boxy. Liked the Nissan Armada, but too pricey. Elected to go for the Traverse 1LT with the All Star Package and AWD.
