Is it a used car or a new car? It's possible it might be a dealer car. How many miles was on it when you bought it? And $32,000 was way too much for that car. IMO!!!!

Traverses are POS. Big Brother is watching you with that always-on OnStar. Fawk that

I like those Traverses...and those telling you its a POS have probably never driven one, they're just driven by their bias GM is making some pretty good vehicles lately, as is Ford...and $32,000 sounds about right for the sticker price. If you bought it from the dealer that way, I'd take it back and show it to them. Maybe they'll help, maybe they won't, but it's worth a shot.
