We only recently purchased the Traverse early in the spring so we haven't owned it long enough to see any long-term problems. However, despite my initial skepticism about owning such a large vehicle, I've been pleasantly surprised so far. Most of my time in the Traverse is as a passenger as I am unfortunately unable to drive, but I understand the vehicle has very good safety ratings and has many features to help make driving a better experience. I quite like the little video feed that appears when the vehicle is backing up... it's especially useful considering the Traverse is a somewhat large vehicle.
