NHTSA Complaint #10824778 — 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

I PURCHASED A 2010 TRAVERSE FROM MOLLE CHEVY IN BLUE SPRINGS 3 YEARS AGO. WE HAVE 61,000 MILES AND WERE SENT LETTERS TO GO HAVE MORE RECALLS AND "SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS" DONE. (CHEVY'S WAY OF MORE RECALLS WITHOUT CALLING THEM THAT) BESIDES MANY OTHER CODES, THIS WEEKS P0008 CODE IS A KNOWN TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. SINCE WE TOOK IT IN AND IT WASN'T ONE OF THE SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS, THEY MADE US PAY FOR THE $90 DIAGNOSTIC, WOULDN'T GIVE ME THE CAR UNTIL I PAID. OFFERED FOR "US" TO PAY AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD SPLIT THE COST WITH US, WENT FROM $2,700 TO $863, WHAT A DEAL! IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT! WHY SHOULD WE PAY A $1, WE ALREADY PAID FOR THE VEHICLE??? AFTER HOLDING ARE CAR HOSTAGE FOR THE $90 AND OFFERING FOR US TO PAY FOR GM'S FIX, WE HAVE DECIDED TO CHECK ALL REACALL'S AND BUY USED WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT. I REALLY HOPE THE PEOPLE GET A DOSE OF WHAT THEY GIVE IN LIFE. THEY HAVE THESE PEOPLE TRAINED TO SELL A LINE OF CRAP ALL THE WAY FROM PURCHASE TO END OF LIFE ON THE VEHICLE. I KNOW THEY ARE A NECESSARY EVIL, BUT BUYERS BEWARE, CARS ARE THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY, STRESS, AND TIME. THEY DON'T PAY FOR ALL YOUR TIME FOR THE RECALLS,WHY? BUY A CHEAPER USED CAR AND CHECK THE RECALLS BEFORE YOU DO. DON'T BUY NEW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM YET. NO ONE LOOKS COOL IN AN COSTLY CAR WITH A TON OF ISSUES. LIFE'S TO SHORT. I WOULD SAY DON'T GO TO CHEVY BUT THEY ARE ALL SIMILAR TO A POINT. GOOD LUCK, MY TRAVERSE IS BEING SOLD THIS WEEK. SORRY TO WHOEVER BUYS IT FROM CARMAX. ALWAYS RESEARCH!!!!! ALWAYS BUY AT LEAST A YEAR OLD, GIVES TIME TO FIND ISSUES, 2 IS BETTER.
