Stretched timing chain with only 45000 miles. Recall of like issue for 2007, 2008, and 2009 but not for 2010 model year

I have a 2010 Chevy Traverse. First it started with a warning lights of the stabilizing track being turned off and my ABS light came on. On 2/18/2018 my reduce engine warming popped on while I'm doing 75mph and my car lost power while I'm on the California freeway, shaking and slowing completely down. I'm pregnant and I was scared that someone couldn't of just slammed right into me. I pulled over to shut down my vehicle to try to reset it but it didn't work. All the same warning lights came back on and the car wouldn't go past 40mph while sputtering on my way to work. I bought the SUV used two years ago without any problems until recently. I was not informed about any recalls with this vehicle and that's very upsetting since this is my family car and my self and my kids are in it 99% of the time and my job is 70 miles away from my home. To make things worse, now my check engine light stud on. I don't have money for any major repairs. Especially one that is a wide spread issue and GM is aware of.

At roughly 130000 miles, I took my vehicle to a mechanic because of a check engine light that was on. I was told that it was due to my timing chains. I have known of another case of the same problem in a vehicle with the same engine as mine that had the exact same thing happen. The mechanic told me that he fixed at lease 12 vehicles with this problem in the last year.

Power steering and timing chain failed in vehicle at 74K miles. There are several complaints regarding the same issues from other owners of this vehicle. General Motors has not accepted responsibility for this issue which has been widely reported. While in motion on November 4, 2017, our vehicle became difficult to maneuver eventually shutting off. Upon trying to restart the vehicle we heard a grinding sound. We immediately pushed the vehicle to a near by reputable repair shop. Upon their evaluation it was determined the timing chain was faulty and needed to be replaced. We contacted General Motors to inform them of the issue, they responded by having us to tow our vehicle to don brown Chevrolet in saint louis Missouri. General Motors asked us to authorize don brown to "break down" the vehicle in which we agreed. We were then informed because of a cost analysis being performed by General Motors and don brown, a break down of the vehicle was not necessary and nothing would be done by the manufacturer to repair the power steering or timing chain. It is widely reported old timing chains were installed in 2009-2011 Chevy Traverse which has led to several engine failures and inoperable vehicles of consumers across the country. It is irresponsible for General Motors to have not issued a recall on these vehicles with timing chains that stretch and cause engine damage. General Motors has placed a hardship on families when they refuse to cover the very expensive cost of these repairs. We purchased our vehicle less than 2 years ago from a Chevy dealer and to have it to become impossible to steer and shut off in traffic is very dangerous and needs to be investigated. General Motors has not offered any relief with an issue known to them.being out of warranty and not purchasing an extended warranty should exclude defects as in the ones stated in this complaint.

- Saint Louis, MO, USA

At 90,000 miles, a P0008 code came up and the entire timing chain system needed to be replaced. The cost was $2870 because the entire motor had to be dropped. If the vehicle was a 2009, they would have repaired it under warranty but because it was a 2010, Chevy would not do anything about it.

- Red Creek, NY, USA

Premature stretching of the timing chain. This is a documented and admitted defect by General Motors for the 2009 model year Traverse vehicles, service bulletins 10287C - April 2012 and 11340A - May 2012. Our vehicle, which is labeled as an early 2010 model year vehicle (built in October 2009) was built in the same factory (spring hill, tn) and with the same components (3.6L V6 engine) as the vehicles that were included in the bulletins but we did not receive the extended coverage. Our vehicle should be covered in the special program.

In 2015, our vehicle began making weird sound on acceleration and deceleration. Acceleration would ramp slowly or stall sporadically while in motion. We took it into a Chevy dealership, where we were told that the timing chain was stretched. We paid for the repair. In November 2017, the same events occurred again while in motion. Again the dealership stated that the issue was a stretched internal timing chain.

Catastrophic engine failure due to timing chain and crankshaft failure. My mechanic suggested contacting GM as it was known failure and issue. GM was unresponsive to providing any assistance.

The steering rack on this vehicle went making it impossible to steer. This has been the case in many of these vehicles of this year. Prior years of this make and model have been recalled for the same issue but as of yet the 2010 has not. They replaced my steering pump and told me the rack was gone and would be 1700 to replace. The car cannot be driven as it is unsafe. The timing chain is also gone which is another issue with this make and model that Chevrolet is not dealing with. Although this does not render the vehicle unsafe it is overall a very badly designed vehicle. My major issue is the safety and read many many complaints on this make and model. I can no longer use the vehicle as it is unsafe to drive and a serious financial hardship. I bought this car in good faith according to the safety rating to Transport my grandchildren and friends and it is now unsafe and unable to be driven. I am hoping for a recall of this vehicle as I have read that I am not the only one dealing with this situation. Thank you.

My check engine light appeared this evening in my 2010 Traverse as well as service stabilitrack and traction control. As I accelerated my fuel level indicator went down and when I hit the brakes it would shoot up to full. I am one of many to deal with the issue with specifically a Chevy Traverse.

My automatic transmission won't shift to higher gears when I accelerate. I have to pull over, come to a complete stop, shift the car into park and then back to drive. That somehow "resets" the transmission and the engine behaves normally after that. This happens almost daily. Frustrating thing is that mechanics have only been able to make it happen once. They say they are unable to id what's wrong. I don't understand that at all. I'm telling them exactly what's happening and they don't even know where to start. And the car's computer doesn't kick out an error message. This happens on all kinds of roads. My car won't shift out of 1st gear. If I don't pull over to "reset" the engine, I get a hot metal smell from the engine. Very frustrating....the mechanics have no clue where to start looking. This has been happening for months. I've gone to multiple mechanics and they're all grasping at straws.
