There are 3 owner-reported lighting complaints for the 2019 Chevrolet Traversein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
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.
Left rear light side-marker assembly is not functional after 3 years in service and less than 29,000 miles. The side marker indicator inside the vehicle flashes rapidly (in quick succession) when the left blinker is applied. This indicated to me that a bulb was out. Initially, all lights were working when inspecting and inside flasher was quickly blinking. After checking multiple times, the left rear blinker finally stopped working altogether. This left rear indicator mark prevents others from knowing which direction I'm turning unless I stick my left arm out the window. The vehicle was taken in to dealership. Dealership said it needed the light assembly replaced at a cost of ~$867. We may have this done outside of an OEM dealership due to cost.
THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SYSTEM OVERRIDES MANUAL MODE. IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS WHILE DRIVING IN DARK CONDITIONS BUT DOES NOT DIM THE LIGHTS IN A TIMELY MANNER WHEN OTHER TRAFFIC IS PRESENT. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BLIND ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR ANNOY LEADING VEHICLES.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. A high complaint count may reflect vehicle popularity, not defect severity. Data sourced from NHTSA public records.
