  7. Complaints per 10,000 built: computed here from NHTSA's complaint count for the Traverse nameplate (88, of which 7 describe a crash, fire, injury or death) and the 179,912 vehicles NHTSA's own early-warning production reports place on it (2026 Q1). US data. No publisher states the rate itself.

  13. Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2023 car sold in Canada, so none is shown for any car in this market.
