Brake wear on other Traverse years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Brake reports cover a wide spread of symptoms. Grinding or squealing is common, and so is a pulsing pedal or a shake through the car when stopping. Others describe pads and rotors worn out long before they expected, a brake warning light, or a pedal that goes soft or sinks toward the floor. The most serious ones say the car didn't stop in time.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the pads and rotors (15 reports), the master cylinder (5 reports) and the ABS module (5 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the brakes covers the 2024 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 3 service bulletins or notices for the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Service Update. Certain vehicles listed above may have a condition in which the internal cartridge seal in the eBoost Module is missing. Dealers are to replace the brake master cylinder.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 60 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
