Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Chevrolet Traverse

Was told we had a front cover leak. Found out the sealant used to seal the front cover to the engine block breaks down prematurely and causes an oil leak. Without removing the engine and redoing the seal, the engine could fail. It seems to be a very common and known issue caused by a poor design. We are now paying $2,700. 00 to have our engine cover "re-caulked" to avoid an engine failure.

When I had the oil changed this week I was told there was a slight leak beginning in the front cover. The car has only 53,600 miles. Why has this not been recalled?.

Takara recall- my vehicle is leaking oil to the engine which is causing it to go through my exhaust. . I have kept my vehicle with maintenance updated. . I tried reaching out to chevy mcgarth - no response. . So I looked this up because the mechanic stated that the issues going on with my car should have had an warranty on it. . Because this is my fault.

My 2010 chevy Traverse was built in spring hill tennessee facility in 2009. I bought this vehicle at the end of February 2010. My vehicle was maintained per manufacturer instructions, oil was always changed, usually around whit 40% of oil remaining and always before the oil life was exhausted. At ~91000 miles car displayed intermittent check engine sign which become permanent around ~94,000 miles. I took the car to mechanic which showed multiple errors, after fixing camshaft sensor the check engine sign remained and mechanic told me that I have drive chain error. The engine started losing power, failed to accelerate. I took the vehicle to dealer I bought from, was told car had multiple issues including catalytic converter and starter, rusted leaking y-ties but most expensive was timing chain at above $2300. Both I and dealer contacted general motor customer care service. After taking my initial call, gm assigned case to a service adviser who never returned my call. She apparently returned dealer service manager's call and advised him to offer me $1000 discount at dealer's expense who advised gm customer service that gm, as manufacturer of defective part should take responsibility. Gm refused any help with the repair of vehicle although the timing chain is clearly defective. .

We came to a brief stop at a drive thru lane (approx. 5-10 seconds), hard crank of the wheel left, mild acceleration, traveled about 15 feet, crank to right, pull into a parking spot. Immediately prior to the vehicle coming to a stop, I noticed thick white smoke emanating from the edges of the hood, and when the car came to a stop I ordered everyone to get out. Black smoke started as we exited the vehicle. I had the fire out quickly, estimate 45-60 seconds from seeing smoke until the fire was completely extinguished with a chemical extinguisher. Immediately after the fire was out, when I was checking the undercarriage, I noticed a trail of oil leading up a couple of feet from the final resting place of the vehicle. This was obscured by additional oil leaking, shortly thereafter.
