What owners of this build wrote

Air Bags Apr 2026
Safety restraint system is on the screen and the airbag icon is on the dash. All of a sudden No accident occurred
Electrical System Dec 2024
I took my truck to the dealer back in 2022 for the specific reasons that the truck is being recalled now but my vehicle doesn’t qualify for the recalls. My vehicle has been having the same issues as the 2019 Chevy traverse recalls and I just saw that my truck is also leaking…
Exterior Lighting Nov 2024
Moisture in the rear driver side taillight ( factory issue involving faulty seal). The moisture shorts out the indicator light, and the entire unit must be replaced
Unknown Or Other Sep 2024
When putting my car in park, I constantly get the alarm started and I have an error message that says “shift car to park”. I then need to restart and shift several times before the error message ends
Power Train Dec 2023
Car won’t turn off. Frequent shift to park messages when already in park. This appears to be common known problem and should be recalled immediately
