For some reason the rubber seals on all the doors seem to fail at different point. I had the dealer replace the driver and passenger door seal 2-3 times (while the car was under the 36,000 mile mark). The back door where only replaced once each.

The paint on the hood is bubbled. I took it to the dealership 3 years ago and they said they would pay half of the cost to repaint. I did not have it done. I have recently found out it is a problem for a lot of people with that year traverse.

While sitting at a stop sign my traverse was hit on the driver's side by the tire and fender. The side air bag or front airbags didn't deploy. The vehicle that hit my traverse had airbags that deployed. My wife was 4 months pregnant and didn't have proper protection of the multiple airbags this vehicle has. She injured her knee from banging into the dash board and caused great concern about the health of our unborn…

Shortly after purchasing brand new car we noticed small rust-colored specks all over the vehicle, mostly on the rear of the car. After several inspections, muzi ford in needham, ma diagnosed this as "brake dust" from the type of brakes on this vehicle. They said there was nothing that could be done to prevent the specks, but that the only fix was expensive buffing/wet sanding treatments by their body shop that would…
