Used 2023 Chevrolet Traverse Consumer Reviews
Cylinder blew at 2200 miles
Bought a 2023 Traverse RS in April and like the vehicle, it has a nice ride with plenty of room inside and has been great up until this past weekend. While backing out of a parking spot, the vehicle backfired but seems to be ok for a bit until I had to accelerate to get on the highway, the motor bogged down repeatedly and the check engine light came on so had to limp it home then to the dealership. They checked it out this morning and told me it blew the #2 cylinder but no specifics on exactly what caused it, the car has 2277 miles on it.
Have Traverse, will travel
After many hours of research, I decided the 2023 LS Traverse best meets my criteria for our upcoming travel adventures. Cargo space, cabin layout comfort ride were chief requirements “ punched”by the Traverse

2023 Chevy Traverse- 7,000 miles
I purchased this vehicle with a little over 5,000 miles on it. I have had it for almost 2 months now. I love everything about the space & style of this vehicle. BUT, AC randomly has a “dirt” smell & on one occasion seriously smelled like urine blowing through the vents. Brakes have made a loud grinding noise on 2 separate occasions. Had an issue with the radio turning on but playing no sound through the speakers randomly (dealership has replaced the radio & haven’t had this problem since) But not & even prior to the radio being replaced there is background static when listening to FM or BLUETOOTH. It sounds like it’s coming only from the speakers on the dashboard & usually sounds worse on the passenger side. I have my FIFTH appointment scheduled with the dealership & from my understanding they don’t even have a game plan for when I bring it back in (just going to call to see if there have been any other issues like this) The only new problem since I last brought it in is the issues with the brakes. All other appointments I have voiced the other concerns listed & never get an answer or explanation about anything! I am currently on a waiting list for another dealership to take a look at the vehicle & they seem to be taking me a lot more serious than the previous dealership. I love the vehicle & want to tend to every issue possible not just because it’s under warranty but because I truly want to be intentional about the maintenance so it doesn’t domino effect other issues & my vehicle can last as long as possible. I’m honestly more frustrated with the inconvenience of multiple appointments & absolutely nothing actually being resolved.

Perfect family SUV
I honestly do not know where to start. There are so many wonderful attributes the Traverse has that it is tough to write a short review. We are coming out of 4 Fifth Generation Ford Explorers. We would have kept our 2019 [the last year of the 5th Gen], but there were long term concerns with the internal water pump inside the otherwise bulletproof 3.5L V6 and the AWD PTU. Looking around, there were few Naturally Aspirated V6 3-row SUV’s [6 including the Traverse]. What set the Traverse apart is/was the cargo capacity, the functionality of all 3 rows, the performance of the V6, the efficiency of the V6, the easy access to the 3rd row, the ability to get heated cloth seats which typically hold-up better than leather, the ability to get easy to use tech in lower-end trims, controls without over reliance on screens, the available tow package, and the thick/wide tires that create an unbelievably comfortable ride. All the aspects of the 5th Gen Explorer we get with the Traverse and then some. The AWD is a bit different in that you dial to AWD like an older 4WD vehicle. In some ways that is annoying as it takes an extra step to achieve AWD. However, the vehicle gets better MPG in 2WD and there is less concern having the AWD PTU spinning constantly saving wear and tear. We are averaging nearly 30 MPG with our 2023 Traverse. We appreciate being able to drive 600+ miles given the massive 21.7 gallon tank. The auto stop-start, lane keeping assist, and adaptive cruise are all controllable features. If you want them, they are there, if you don’t, you can shut them off. The forward collision sensitivity can be adjusted. The universal garage remote works well. The rear underfloor storage compartment is something we use often. We did not expect to be in a 2023 Traverse, but the reduction in SUV’s with features we covet, we decided to trade-in our beloved 5th Gen Explorer. But we are extremely pleased that we did. Speaking of which, if you are deciding on a 2023 Traverse or waiting for the 2024, be aware that the 2024’s will have a new transmission and a turbo 4-cylinder engine with both stop-start and cylinder deactivation. Meaning a certain points, you will have only 2 cylinders powering a 6,000+ lbs vehicle. We were not confident that all would be a good combination, so the 2023 was an easy choice.
