I HAVE 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THIS CAR GOT A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE. TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED OUT AND ENGINE RUNS ROUGH WITH MULTIPLE MISFIRES AND NOISE. I TOOK THIS CAR TO DIAGNOSTIC AND DEALER DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRM EXISTING PROBLEM WITH TIMING CHAIN. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT GMC EXTENDED A WARRANTY TILL 10 YEARS/120000 MI FOR 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. BUT THEY SAID THAT MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT'S BEEN MADE FROM DIFFERENT PARTS. THIS IS NOT FAIR AND NOT RIGHT. IT DOESN'T MATTER FROM WHAT PARTS WAS MADE ENGINE IN MY CAR. THE FACT IS THAT MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS 2009 CHEVY TRAVERSE WHAT QUALIFY FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE ISSUE WITH TIMING CHAIN WAS NEVER FIXED ON 2010 MODEL YEAR AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT THIS KIND OF SITUATION. I'D LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT WILL GO TO THE COURT. GMC REPRESENTATIVE PLEASE CONTACT WITH ME TO RESOLVE IT. THANKS, [XXX] *DL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

I WAS INFORMED THAT MY STEERING SYSTEM IS FAILING IN MULTIPLE PARTS. THIS WAS NO SURPRISE TO THE MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THESE VEHICLES. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY REPAIR BUT IT CAN ALSO BECOME A HAZARDOUS CONDITION DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING.

THERE IS A STEERING WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE FOR DEFAULT IN STEERING UP TO 150,000 MILES. I'VE OWNED MY CAR LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT WASN'T UNTIL IT BROKE AND I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT FIXED THAT I BECAME AWARE OF THE WARRANTY. I'M NOW 6000 MILES OVER AND HAVE NO VEHICLE. I REALIZE I'M OVER THE MILEAGE A LITTLE BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WASN'T A FULL RECALL FOR SAFETY REASONS IN THE FIRST PLACE!HOWEVER I FEEL CHEVROLET SHOULD HELP COVER A DECENT PORTION OF THE REPAIR. IS THERE ANYTHING THING YOU CAN DO TO HELP. IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE PROCESS. AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. IT ABOUT SLUNG ME INTO A DUMP TRUCK WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING AND THEN WOULD HARDLY TURN AT ALL EVEN IN A SLIGHT CURVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS FASTENING THE SEAT BELT, THE LOWER ANCHOR CABLE DETACHED FROM THE SEAT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT INTERMEDIATELY WHILE DRIVING ON TURNS. THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VECHILE BUT PUT TODAY'S DATE AS THE DATE OF ISSUE.

TIMING CHAIN IS OUT OF SYNC. MECHANIC STATES THAT ERROR CODES ARE CAUSING THE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE THAT ARE BASED AROUND SKIPPING/SLIPPING TIMING CHAIN. STATES THAT TIMING CHAIN MUST BE REPAIRED. IF TIMING CHAIN FAILS TO WORK CORRECTLY, ENGINE COULD SEIZE CAUSE THE VEHICLE FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DIVING AT CITY SPEEDS, TOOK IT TO STEWART CHEVROLET AND THE SAID IT WAS THE P0008 AND P0017 TIMING CHAIN AND CRANK CAMSHAFT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT THIS IS OCCURRING . 1ST WAS AT 60,929K AND SECOND WAS AT 81,781K THEY WANT BETWEEN $3,000 TO $9,000 TO REPAIR AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T OCCUR AT NEXT 20K, GM ARE NOT STANDING BY THERE PRODUCT NOR IS STEWARD.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR MOTOR LIGHT AND OIL CHANGE. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY TIMING CHAIN WAS SOME WEAR AND NEEDS CHANGING. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THESE CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALL THE TIME AND A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THEM. IT WAS FOR THE 2009, BUT A LOT OF THE 2010 HAD THE SAME CHAIN AND ISSUE AS THE 2009. OF COURSE THE DEALER IS NOT GONG TO AGREE TO ANYTHING. THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS 2800, JUST TO CHANGE THE BELT AS PRECAUTION. THIS IS PRICE GOUGING WHEN THEY KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE. I NEED HELP...
