2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

AFTER REACHING THE 100,000 MILE MARK, MY TRAVERSE RAN ROUGH, HAD SLOW ACCELERATION, AND SOMETIMES LOW POWER. THE MPG WENT DOWN DRASTICALLY FROM APRX 320 PER TANK TO BTWN 230-250. IT WAS WELL MAINTAINED WITH ROUTINE OIL CHANGES, RECENTLY WITH SYNTHETIC OIL DUE TO THE HIGH MILEAGE. I CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND AIR FILTER, WHICH HELPED FOR A SHORT TIME. IT BEGAN REVVING AT HIGH RPMS ON THE FREEWAY AND NOT SHIFTING. AFTER APRX FIVE MONTHS OF EXPERIENCING THE SYMPTOMS PERIODICALLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON AND ALERTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM JUST OVER 108,000 MILES. THE CODE P0008 INDICATED A TIMING ISSUE, RESULTING FROM EITHER A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN OR BAD TENSIONER. THE LIGHT WAS OFF THE NEXT MORNING, BUT RETURNED LATER THE SAME DAY. I DID NOT DRIVE THE TRAVERSE FOR APRX TWO WEEKS IN FEAR OF THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING. THE DAY I WAS TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, I ATTEMPTED TO START IT AND BLEW THE ENGINE. THE CHEVY MECHANIC CONFIRMED IT WAS A RESULT OF THE TIMING CHAIN. DOING RESEARCH, THERE ARE SEVERAL CASES OF THE 3.6L ENGINE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHING. I AM JUST THANKFUL I WAS NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME IT BROKE. I WANT TO KNOW WHY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AFTER EXPERIENCING THE SIGNS FOR MONTHS. CHEVY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 TRAVERSE AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES. THEY NEED TO DO THE SAME THING WITH THE 2010'S AS WELL. THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL INDICATES THE TIMING CHAIN DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE CHECKED UNTIL 150,000.

STABILITRAK CONTINUES TO POP UP AFFECTING SED ETC I HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER $2000 REPLACING PARTS AND IT CONTINUES

BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION SYSTEM STALIBAK NEED HELP GETTING IT FIXED IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.

RANDOMLY MY CAR WILL HAVE PROBLEMS SHIFTING GEARS USING GOING INTO 3RD GEAR AND THE RPM WILL SHOOT UP. ALSO WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE IT HESITATES AND THEN STARTS SPUTTERING. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT IT STARTED SHIFTING NORMALLY BUT ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN I'M ON THE CITY STREETS OR ON THE INTERSTATE. I WONDER WHY THERE HAVENT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS BECAUSE I SEE THERE'S OTHER OWNERS GOING THROUGH THIS AND I HAVE LESS THAN 101,000 MILES ON MY CAR.

TRACTION CONTROL/STABILINK SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE WHICH SLOWES THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR ONTO HIGHWAYS WHERE OTHERS ARE TRAVELING AT FAST RATE OF SPEED. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB WHEN RESEARCHING 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE FOR PROBLEMS. THE VIN NUMBER OF MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL BUT SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED.

POWER STEERING STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. AFTER IT STARTED HAPPENING I READ ONLINE THAT ALOT OF CUSTOMERS BEEN HAVING SAME IASUE.

TRIED TO CALL NHTSA NUMBER FOR ASSISTANCE. IT IS DISCONNECTED. NEED TO UPDATE COMPLAINT NUMBER 11205680. DATE OCCURRED IS INACCURATE AND WANT IT TO BE ACCURATE IF QUESTIONED BY REPRESENTATIVE. ACCIDENTALLY PUT APRIL 19TH AS TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM DATE. IT WAS ACTUALLY APRIL 25TH. PLEASE UPDATE.
