2026 Chevrolet Traverse Mid-Size SUV Part of GM Stop-Sale Order
General Motors has issued a stop-sale order for three of its mid-size SUVs, as reported by GM Authority. The Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, and GMC Acadia—all 2026 models—are part of the stop-sale, which reportedly involves an undisclosed quality issue. The stop-sale only involves 92 total GM SUVs, and the automaker expects to resolve the issue by the end of the week. UPDATED 7/14/25, 6:55 p.m.: A GM spokesperson confirmed the stop-sale order, which only involves 92 total GM mid-size SUVs, including the 2026 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave. While they didn't provide details about the "quality" issue, they said it's expected to be resolved by the end of the week. We don't know the exact reason that General Motors has reportedly issued a stop-sale order for some of its three-row mid-size SUVs. However, according to a report by GM Authority, there's a quality-related problem that has led the automaker to pause the sale of certain 2026 Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, and GMC Acadia models. GMC Michael Simari | Car and Driver While details are scarce, GMA claims that the stop-sale notice was part of a dealer bulletin (reference number N252517720) that was posted last week on July 7. Until the undisclosed quality issue is resolved, the vehicles cannot be delivered to customers, traded to other dealers, or used for demonstrations. All three GM models recently entered a new generation, which introduced new designs, powertrains, and technology. The trio is also built alongside each other at the Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan. Car and Driver has reached out to a GM representative to confirm the stop-sale order. However, we didn't receive a response by the time of publication. We will update this story with additional information if we learn more.

Polly Wanna Cross The Border? 20 Parrots Nabbed In Texas Smuggling Fiasco
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Hidalgo, Texas, made an unexpected and noisy discovery: 20 undeclared parrots stuffed inside a single vehicle. According to a report from CBP officials, a 22-year-old woman driving a 2022 Chevy Traverse was stopped on July 7 as she attempted to enter America from Mexico. Officers flagged the suspicious vehicle for a follow-up inspection, during which they uncovered 20 large birds hidden in a bag inside the SUV. The woman, an American citizen, was immediately arrested. The parrots, which are protected under international and U.S. law, were later safely handed over to Texas Game Wardens, who transported them to the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville. Both Homeland Security and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have launched a criminal investigation into the woman's smuggling attempt. 'Our frontline CBP officers and agriculture specialists continue to maintain resolute vigilance amid heavy holiday weekend traffic and that mission dedication led to the interception of 20 parrots. CBP remains committed to preventing the exploitation of protected animals and the spread of animal diseases,' said Port Director Carlos Rodriguez. Parrots fall under strict import regulations due to their protected status under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The illegal transportation of these birds can carry serious penalties and pose public health risks, including the potential spread of avian diseases. As summer travel ramps up, CBP reminds the public that officers at all ports of entry, whether by land, air, or sea, are on constant watch for not only drugs and weapons but also wildlife trafficking. Smuggling exotic animals is a big enough business. In May, a woman pleaded guilty to federal charges after attempting to smuggle five diaper-wearing spider monkeys from Mexico into Texas, as previously reported by The Dallas Express. Stopped on January 13 at Laredo's Port Of Entry, Priscilla Sanchez first claimed she had nothing to declare, but officers found the monkeys hidden in a warm, heavy duffel bag during a further inspection. She admitted knowing the smuggling was illegal and said she planned to sell the animals for profit. Sanchez could face up to 20 years in prison for the smuggling attempt.

20 parrots found during border crossing, U.S. agents in Texas say
July 8 (UPI) -- Birds of a feather flock together, and now 20 parrots do so at a Texas zoo after U.S. border agents intercepted the undocumented birds from someone attempting to enter the United States. Officials of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, with the help of agriculture specialists, found 20 undeclared parrots on Monday at the Hidalgo Port of Entry in Texas after a 22-year-old female American citizen applied for re-entry into the United States. "Our frontline CBP officers and agriculture specialists continue to maintain resolute vigilance amid heavy holiday weekend traffic and that mission dedication led to the interception of 20 parrots," said Hidalgo's Port Director Carlos Rodriguez. It occurred at the Hidalgo International Bridge. But the type of parrot species was not immediately clear. The unidentified woman driver, operating a 2022 Chevy Traverse, was referred by CBP officers for a secondary inspection where border officials spotted the birds hidden inside the vehicle in a bag. The driver was arrested and the parrots transported by state game wardens to Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville. The import of parrots to U.S. shores is regulated by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the species is protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. In 2017, some 93 exotic birds were found in Los Angles stuffed inside the luggage of a man who arrived from Vietnam with 50 still alive at time of inspection. Meanwhile, a criminal investigation into Monday's incident in Texas was initiated by Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. America's border agency "remains committed to preventing the exploitation of protected animals and the spread of animal diseases," the Hidalgo port chief added Tuesday.
