2015 Chevrolet Traverse SUV AWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse SUV AWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Optional
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

"below is the description of what has happened...... product safety recall - driver front airbag inflator may rupture one of the front airbag inflators in my vehicle was produced by takata. takata has advised the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) that without a chemical drying agent, prolonged exposure to heat and humidity can degrade the chemical propellant used in this airbag inflator. in time, if the propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflator may rupture when the airbag deploys during a crash event. if this happens, sharp metal fragments could pass through the airbag, striking you or your loved ones, causing serious or fatal injuries. answers to your general guideline questions (see below) 1. it is available for inspection at any time. 2. the safety issue putting my husband, daughter, son-in-law, twin granddaughters, friends and myself at risk are the defective airbags with serious to fatal injuries. 3. yes, the problem has been confirmed by nhtsa, takata, gm and a chevrolet dealer. 4. no individual from nhtsa, takata, gm or a chevrolet dealer have asked to investigate my vehicle, but they all have advised it is on recall. i've also been advised the parts are not available for the recall repair and no one has an answer to when that will be. 5. my best assessment of the situation is every time i drive my vehicle i am putting myself, my beloved family and friends at risk of serious to fatal injuries and the cause of this is my recalled vehicle has not been repaired due to the fact no parts to repair it are available now or i'm guessing in the near future. gm describes it as an urgent safety recall and yet there has been no urgency in resolving the issues for serious and fatal injuries."
