NHTSA Complaint #11276928 — 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS GOING ON AND OFF FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO LOSE SOME POWER WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO MECHANIC TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. CODE P0008 APPEARS TO BE WORN TIMING CHAINING. I HAVE SPOKEN TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AS WELL AS A CHEVY DEALERSHIP - ALL HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. A GOOGLE SEARCH INFORMED ME THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY TRAVERSE. IN FACT, EARLY MODELS RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS WARRANTY NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO OTHER YEARS AS WELL.
