2 Engine Burning Oil problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 03/01/2017

Traverse came to sudden stop in middle of road with no warning. Tow to mechanic who found there was no oil. Zero oil leaks located; appeared to have burned all oil in between oil changes. Traverse had 81k miles and was just a few months outside of the power train warranty at time. Almost 7 thousand dollars spent on new engine. We also own a 2009 Chevrolet malibu with 72k miles that we recently discovered had no oil on dipstick in between oil changes. Added two quarts of oil, which only got it to bottom of dipstick. We have now heard many examples (friends/family) in which this is happening to Chevrolet's with under 100k miles.

4 Engine Burning Oil problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 03/30/2016

My car has 52,000 and took it to the dealer and they tell me the timing chains need to be replaced. Reason is because of your oil change indicator causes you to burn to much oil and your running you car on low oil levels. Even though the car lets you go 5,000 miles before an oil change, you still should check your oil levels once a month because you are burning oil. How are we suppose to know that. Because I follow the oil life indicator I now am stuck with a $3200 repair bill. Chevy even has a special technical bulletin associated with my engine for the problem that extends warranty coverage to 10 years / 120,000 miles but my VIN number doesn't qualify.
