NHTSA Complaint #10980458 — 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APX 25 MPH AND SLOWING FOR A RIGHT TURN. CAR DIED IN BUSY TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO OIL LIGHT AND NO ENGINE LIGHT. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT SOUNDED HORRIBLE AND HAD NO POWER. TOOK IT INTO A SHOP TO FIND THE ENGINE HAD FAILED DUE TO IMPROPER OIL PRESSURE. SPUN ROD BEARING, AND TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. CAR RAN PERFECT BEFORE THIS INCIDENT AND I ADHERED TO OIL CHANGE SCHEDULE . I STILL OWE $20,000 ON IT! GM AND CHEVY WILL NOT HELP, EVEN THO I BOUGHT FROM A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE POWER STEERING PUMP TWICE IN A YEAR. BLOWER MOTOR QUIT WORKING AND WIPER MOTOR. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I FIND TO THESE TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUES. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR TIMING CHAIN AND ENGINE FAILURE IN 2009 TO 2011, THEN AGAIN IN 2013 BUT NOT 2012? WHY CHEVY?! COST TO FIX: $9,926. ALMOST HALF OF WHAT I OWE ON A VEHICLE IVE HAD A YEAR.
