Our 2012 chevy Traverse 5 year, 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty expires 11/15/2017. Our 2012 chevy Traverse had an engine failure. Also brake failure. I was told by the service dept from the dealer that the issue was a part fell into the piston. Manufacturers warranty is 5 year 100,000 miles, we have 90,000 miles and our 5 year isn't up unitl Nov 15, 2017. Dealer service made us provide 3 receipts from the maintenance shop, then required receipts up til 2015 when we last used the dealer service. Because the receipts all did not list the VIN # or license plate they will not honor the warranty. I told the service manager you are more than welcome to contact the maintenance shop yourself to confirm the car that was serviced was the car in question. They refused and refuse to honor the 5 year, 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty. Please help, we need this car for transporting our children to and from school, etc.

Vehicle was traveling apx 25 mph and slowing for a right turn. Car died in busy traffic at intersection on a city street. No warning lights, no oil light and no engine light. Restarted vehicle and it sounded horrible and had no power. Took it into a shop to find the engine had failed due to improper oil pressure. Spun rod bearing, and timing chain failure. Car ran perfect before this incident and I adhered to oil change schedule . I still owe $20,000 on it! gm and chevy will not help, even tho I bought from a chevy dealership. Also had to replace power steering pump twice in a year. Blower motor quit working and wiper motor. After researching online, I find to these to be extremely common issues. There was a recall for timing chain and engine failure in 2009 to 2011, then again in 2013 but not 2012? why chevy?! cost to fix: $9,926. Almost half of what I owe on a vehicle ive had a year.
