4/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The dominant pattern in 2022 Traverse complaints centers on the powertrain, which accounts for roughly a third of all reports filed. Transmission shuddering is the most frequently described symptom, with owners reporting it occurs across multiple gears and worsens over time to the point of making the vehicle difficult to drive. A recurring companion issue is the "Shift to Park" fault, owners describe the vehicle refusing to recognize the shifter is in park, triggering an alarm and preventing normal shutdown, and several reports note the problem returns after an initial repair. Owners also describe the transmission dropping into limp mode while driving, requiring a restart to restore normal acceleration. The electrical system draws the second-highest complaint volume, though the powertrain issues dominate by a wide margin. Separately, several engine complaints describe excessive oil consumption leading to low-oil warnings, with at least some of those cases resulting in engine replacement.
