Is a Traverse extended warranty worth it?
Worth considering. The Chevrolet Traverse has an above-average major repair probability for the segment — a warranty is worth pricing before you buy, especially on higher-mileage examples. If you want to minimise risk, stick to the 2013, 2015, and 2016. Pay particular attention to 2010, 2011, and 2014 model years.
