Consumer Description
MY 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GO ON AT JUST UNDER 40,000 MILES ON ERROR P0017. A CAM SHAFT SENSOR WAS REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE THE LIGHT EMIT AGAIN 2 WEEKS LATER. NOW THE CAR IS READING 2 CODES. ONE IS STILL THE P0017 AND NOW A P0008. THE TIMING CHAIN IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE AND GM STILL HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL. THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH COMPLAINTS THAT ARE OVER 2 YEARS OLD. THE CARS RUN EXTREMELY ROUGH WHILE DRIVING, USE EXCESSIVE GAS AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ON THESE ENGINES.
