Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Traverse sits at the end of a decade-long decline in complaints, dropping from 448 in 2009 to just 168 in 2025, while recalls have fluctuated but remained low, with 0 in 2025. The trend shows a sharp increase in complaints in 2013 (161) and a peak in 2014 (547), followed by a steady down‑trend through 2024 (123). Compared to the year before (2024: 123 complaints) and the year after (2026: 18 complaints), 2025’s 168 complaints are modestly higher, yet still well below the mid‑2010s highs. The recall count of 0 for 2025 aligns with the lowest recall activity seen since 2016. The top complaint categories—Service Brakes (38) and Service Brakes, Forward Collision Avoidance (36)—suggest minor but consistent brake‑system issues, while crash and fire complaints remain negligible. Overall, 2025 represents a relatively clean year within the declining trend, making it a reasonable purchase choice, provided brake‑system serviceability is verified.
