8 Great Traits of the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse… and a Fatal Flaw | Clutch Master Cylinder

One that comes to mind is how Ford was forced to fix most (but not all) of the 2011-14 F-150′s for brake failures but only after the feds raided the joint and twisted their arm. Ford kept on using the same defective components on the 2015 and newer F-150′s and the problem continues to happen. I guess they’re waiting for the feds to force them to fix it like last time?

I’ve only driven one car with lane keeping function (2017 CR-V) and it only intervened when I was about to cross the lane marker. Additionally, the torque applied to the steering wheel was almost imperceptible.

This was three years and about 7,000 miles after a power steering hose had apparently sprung a leak, and a mechanic had warned that the lack of power steering fluid may have damaged the pump. He or she was apparently right:

actually, all this automation will lead to skill degradation and while it will definitely save lives it will create tons of small accidents. This is actually happening. There are situations on the road when only human can do something.

1. Maps. Take our word for it, the green coupler offers the best ECU map. It is stronger than the black coupler and is less hyperkinetic than the white coupler. If you want to remap the black box, below is are the maps we ran.

4. Having a smooth initial throttle application is crucial off-road, and the various riding modes don’t disappoint, especially with a torque-rich engine such as this one. Rolling the throttle on won’t be met with disaster, as riders will quickly come to terms with the 1200—they’ll be reveling in it with roosts of approval.

Parking sensors have been a much-request feature since the launch of the second-generation Colorado for the 2015 model year, and we’re glad to see Chevy adding it. Though definitely useful and welcome, all Colorado models come with a standard rear view camera, and some might find the addition of the parking sensors at the rear somewhat redundant.

I was under the impression that certain companies that worked with manufacturers could have their products covered under standard warranties (like Roush for example). With the introduction of these new safety systems, many of those same aftermarket suppliers were no longer able to provide that even on models that had been previously allowed to be covered under warranty (ie Tacoma/Tundra)

My Traverse tester was powered by a 3.6-liter V6 delivering 310 horsepower and 366 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine is mated to a capable 9-speed automatic transmission that was easily in charge of the large SUV in every level of performance. Look for decent fuel economy ratings at 18/27 mpg for the V6. If you want turbo, a 2.0-L turbocharged 4-cylinder is also available (255 hp and 295 lb.-ft. torque).

I for sure know that I’m not the best driver. Maybe you are. Maybe you’re God’s gift to the driving community, an unholy creation resulting from a one night stand of gene splicing from Mario Andretti, Dale Earnhardt, and Jack Baruth. But I don’t know your driving skills from Adam. And what about that jerk tailgating you 2 feet off your bumper?
