1 Loud Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2020

I was on the highway driving home from work and the car started making loud noises from the engine compartment. Had three different mechanic diagnosed the issue. All pointing towards the timing chain or possible engine replacement. The car has had maintenance regularly and well taken care of. Mechanic said that the Traverse has a lot of issues regarding the timing chain on a huge scale. I am at a loss road as to what can be done. I hooe that theteis a recall for this issue cause after reading so many people issues with their cars, it is wrong to just leave people stranded and hopeless to get back on the raod. Step up to the plate gm.

Driving the vehicle down the road it starts making a noise. I pull the vehicle over off the street. There is no power, the vehicle still starts but does nothing but makes a loud noise. The timing chain is the issue. I have saw multiple complaints about the timing chains in these vehicles being defected. Please make this right!.

3 Loud Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2020

Driving down the highway and the engine started making horrible noises, overheating losing power and bucking. Once it was towed home, learned the engine jumped time and the car wouldn't run and barely starts. Bought a timing chain kit as well as previously changing the cam sensors to no avail. Need a whole new motor now. I cant afford to change it and now have an expensive yard ornament I'm still paying on. Chevrolet knew of these issues and has done nothing to recoup those of us who have lost out on a vehicle we purchased andcannot drive. Chevrolet should have done a massive recall to address this issue and saving all of us this financial burden.
