2020 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE: LEMONABILITY RATING

What is Lemonability?

“Lemonability is a rating we assign to each car, based on the eligibility for compensation via the lemon law.  The more car problems reported by owners over time, the higher the rating.”

With the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse, the automakers claim that ‘the journey matters.’ The journey won’t matter if car occupants are at excessive risk. Owners have taken to the internet to complain that the manufacturers have the least regard for safety. Let’s have a look at what they have to say. 

BRAKE PROBLEM

The importance of brakes working in good order cannot be over-emphasized in a vehicle. There are numerous claims on how inconsistent the braking system of the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse is. One driver complained that he had a brake failure two days after getting the vehicle. 

Considering that this is a full-size SUV and most people would want it to transport their family, braking system fault is the least problem you want to have. 

AIRBAG PROBLEM

If the braking system fails, airbags are next in line to provide a soft landing to occupants. However, the airbags of the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse come with their shortcomings. Little investigations show that the inflator may not be properly attached to the roof rail airbag inflator. It opens the possibility of the airbag not deploying when needed.

After all, it seems only the journey matters to Chevrolet and not the safety of occupants. 

VISIBILITY PROBLEM

The visibility of the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse is reportedly poor as the windshield seems to allow minimal visibility. It seems like a build defect from the manufacturers, but every problem of this full SUV indicates their minimal regard for the safety of car occupants.
