NHTSA Complaint #11430484 — 2017 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

I heard some scraping sounds while driving. It sounded like something dragging on the ground. Checked and saw nothing. Continued on driving then a few miles later saw some light smoke in rear view mirror. Pulled to shoulder of interstate and lifted hood to see smoke from behind engine. Vehicle was towed to auto dealer where it was purchased. No warnings of any kind from the systems. Service department identified the problem as a hole in the transfer case which was covered under the CPO extended warranty. Chevrolet has not been able to provide the parts for the dealer to fix the vehicle since the beginning of May and is now saying the November 12, 2021 expected delivery of the parts probably will not happen. No customer courtesy vehicles are available and Chevy Corporate customer relations recommended that I rent a GM product from Enterprise and once the vehicle is repaired submit the rental bill for reimbursement. The vehicle is sitting in the back of the Curry Chevrolet lot collecting dust should the NHTSA want to take a look at it. It should be there until GM can "find" the parts to fix the almost 5 model year old vehicle.
