ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse Limited?
The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse Limited achieves an Exceptional Safety Index score of 90 out of 100, a record established without prior-year data for direct comparison. This score is anchored by a near-perfect crash-protection sub-score of 66 out of 70. Federal crash tests resulted in a 5 out of 5-star rating for overall safety, as well as for frontal and side impact protection. Its avoidance-tech sub-score of 5 out of 10 reflects a mixed equipment offering; while lane departure warning and electronic stability control are standard, forward collision warning is listed as both standard and optional depending on the trim configuration. The defect-record sub-score of 18.5 out of 20 benefits from the zero-recall outcome for this model year. This absence of recalls is a meaningful data point for a model in its second year of a redesigned generation. The 121 owner complaints, though carrying no verified findings, show a concentration of reports alleging issues with brakes and engines, alongside 19 complaints specifically targeting the forward collision avoidance system. This pattern warrants monitoring as further owner reports accumulate.
