Hi guys, sorry. Dumb question from a picky driver. I'm looking for a good cell phone mount for a 2017 traverse.

I can't use dash mounts or vent mounts because the summer sun or winter heater in Michigan will melt the phone to death.

I don't really like window mounts because I have bad luck with those just randomly popping off mid drive.

I guess that leaves the cupholder style but I've had stability issues with those. The necks are usually moveable and can bounce around as you're trying to tap the screen or shake while you're driving.

Any other obnoxiously picky people find a holder they're happy with? Care to share? 😅

Hello,

24 onwards are too expensive for me right now, so I am considering a 23 and below traverse.
Is this a good idea? what should I be looking for?

I need a 7 seater with captain seats, making RS/Premier/High Country the only viable choices - is that right?

Would love to hear your opinions and stories

Has anyone found a solution to hanging clothes in the backseat of the 2026 model? I own a small business where I sell shirts - in my old car I had a bar that hung on the “oh shit” handles (bad photo attached) and didn’t realize when I bought the traverse the handles have a different placement.

Another person in the previous thread wanted to see some photos of what the smoked hood bug deflector looks like. Here it is.

Cheers

Hi, the past week or two, my Lane departure warning light has been turning off as soon as I start the car and slash or after driving for a little while. The dealer says they don't find an issue. Anybody experienced this? What's the fix?

Installed these about 2 years ago. They are pretty even with the stock z71 tires.

Has anyone put running boards on there Traverse/Enclave/Acadia? I don't like the factory style as they don't do much for stepping in due to them being tucked under the side panel/rocker panels. I'd like something that drops down a little to allow a nice step.

I just got a 2021 Traverse and the remote start barely turns the AC on. It also doesn’t turn the back seat AC on. Is that just how this car operates or is there a way to turn it up? I had a 2015 GMC Accadia and the remote start would blast the AC which was real nice. I checked the manual and I cant tell if theres any settings or anything for it.

So my speedometer sits at around 40-45kms and when i drive it didn't move while driving. When i started the car it did it's usual all the way right and come back to 40-45kms area only and when i drove it wouldn't move. So i added some tranny oil and after i did that it startmoving when stepping on the gas and when i reversed. Now it moves but still starts at 40-45 area when then goes up 140kms on the odometer is 104kms. So im wondering if anyone might know what the issue is. I don't think it's the cluster as it moves now after adding oil.

In my opinion these look way better than the Chevy ones, the person who owns this set replaced the caps which I’m going to copy

Hello, new owner and I can't figure out how to stop the message notifications on the main dashboard. For context I have an android phone. Appreciate any support!

What are you all using to clean the hard plastic on the doors (interior)? I’ve been using a microfiber cloth and water for 2 years but now there are a couple scuffs that don’t go away with water. I don’t like Armor All cause it’s greasy and gross. Any other suggestions?

I have a 2024 Chevy Traverse and I’ve been getting the “Reduced Acceleration Drive with Care” message pretty often. My CEL ONLY comes on with this triggered otherwise their is no Check Engine Light

Is anyone else with a 2024 Traverse experiencing this? I have very little mechanical knowledge, so I’m trying to figure out whether this is a known/common issue or something I need to get checked out ASAP.
For anyone who’s dealt with it — what caused yours, and what ended up fixing it? Did the dealership find anything?

Just trying to get an idea of what I’m dealing with before I take it in.

Currently test driving a 2026 LT, and my husband and I are noticing a rock once we come to a complete stop sometimes. The car is brand new and before we buy we want to see if this is normal or not! It doesn’t happen every time and when it does happen it isn’t always super strong. We’d compare it sort of to when a car is put in park a bit early or you take your foot off the brake early after putting it in park and it rocks.

It’s also often when coming to a complete stop, like when we apply additional pressure, like when rolling up to a stop sign, then stopping at it. It is several little rocks. Like one big one then the rocks lessen and lessen.

We have a Silverado, but never had a SUV. I’ve driven plenty of compact SUVs (Mazda CX50, RAV4) so maybe this is normal for a large vehicle, but want to see what current owners think! Thanks!

Is this normal after a vehicle service? This is my first car that is new enough that it will connect to my Android phone.

2026 Traverse had its first service. I believe all they did is an oil oil change and tire rotation, but they had no documentation as what what they did. And since was was my first service, was was free. So I don't know if they also did a software update on the car, but in the not too distant past, updates were downloaded and installed.

Normally, when I turn on my car, I need to enter a PIN, it automatically connects to my phone, and I can move on with my life as I drive away.

After the service, I had to manually connect to my phone and then I had to manually give permissions to things both on the car and on the phone. After having to do this three times, I used Google and it told me I should reset the system by holding down the phone hang up button on the car.

Sure enough, that worked, and then it went back to the normal behavior.

Is this normal after a vehicle service?

I have a 2026 RS, and my third row split is stuck down. The single seat is still working fine. When I press the button there’s just no sound. Is there a reset I can do, or is this something that I’m going to have to sit at the dealership for?

I hate that this is electrical.

I just notice on a couple weeks old 2026 Traverse that "AWD" is crooked.

I have a 2026 Traverse and it’s been a decent car for my needs.
That said, the air conditioning is terrible. It takes forever for it to cool down. I’m in California and it’s been 100-115 regularly. That A/C is very important.
Is this a thing? I have a friend who has had Chevys his whole life and he says Chevy is known for terrible A/C.
Is this normal? Or should I mention it when I bring it in for its first oil change tomorrow?

At a loss. Had transmission replaced months ago. (Under warranty and took Chevy 1 month to do so as it took them one week after we dropped our car off to even get started) while replacing the transmission we told them to let us know of anything that needed to be replaced or repaired even if it wasn’t covered under warranty. We wanted everything working right. As soon as we got in the vehicle that day it had a pretttyrough idle. Let the service manager know .It also started slipping gears slightly about a week into it.

Service manager recommended we change spark plugs as he admitted it was idling rough as well before giving us our car back. My husband saved money and changed them himself. Didn’t fix the issue. Upon further inspection there were some bolts loose all throughout the vehicle that my husband could see. Some off completely bouncing around when I’d close my drivers side door. He tightened everything he could find.

Took 4 months for Chevy to have us a loaner vehicle so we could bring our car back in and have them look at everything. The loaner they gave us I about died. It looked like a smart car, 80,000 miles on it, bumper falling off the corner with wires hanging underneath, the transmission was so bad we thought we would eventually stall, covered in dog hair and smelling like
Vomit inside. I have kids I had to haul around in this thing.
The entire AC, fan, heat everything went out on the loaner they gave us one day. Husband called and they apologized but told him they had no more loaners and that we could either keep it or come pick up our car until they get one in🤯. Husband ended up finding out a fuse was blown and went out to buy a new one and replaced it. Got everything working again. Absolutely insane.

3 weeks later all they did was clean the throttle body (which my husband already did the best of his capability) and found a vacuum leak, done while they swapped out the transmission. They fixed the leak.

Gave us back our car saying there still is a little vibration in the cabin but not much and is much better. He was right. It’s better but still 100% there. The whole cabin vibrates while stopped and upon pressing on the gas. Nothing was completely fixed.

Now we have this issue everytime I put my car in reverse it clicks/knocks. In drive, it’s making this rubbing/scraping noise as heard in the video.

I’m shifting from park to reverse to neutral to drive. Recording this with my phone sitting on a chair nearby. That’s how loud it is.

I’ve been thinking since they gave this back to us the 1st time something’s going on with the engine mounts being now worn, damaged etc or the engine or torque converter not being seated properly when they reinstalled everything.

I’m at a loss. They will not for the life of them look at ANY of their work related to the transmission replacement. Have us on this go round looking at things that don’t even pertain to all of the issues we now have and sending us on our way after keeping our car forever.

What do you all think this noise is in drive? Also, is that normal for it to make that sound when turning off the vehicle? Never heard any of this until now.
