The biggest issue is intermittently going into "low engine" mode, warning blinks for only a second then the car will not go more than 10 miles an hour. this is quite dangerous to me, my family, and other drivers- imagine this happening on the freeway? does this issue need to result in a death before it is looked into by the company? the car will not shift out of gears- happens intermittently with no warning signs whatsoever. the issue happens when i go above 40 mph, the the rpms goes to 9+off the charts and i cannot go into the next gear. since it happens only randomly mechanics have a hard time finding issue since it does not always do this for them. our last visit suggested to replace the transmission, but at a price that is more than the value of the car, that is hard to stomach. lots of complaints of this issue and considering the 2009 recall, my two cents is the 2010 model most obviously has similar manufacturing issues and a deeper investigation needs to take place. other issues, car lurches/jerks when put into drive from park. please back your ...
P10017 and p0018- timing chains gone bad
The timing chain needed to be replaced. it's the same chain that was recalled on the 2009 traverse. the engine takes a while to accelerate.
Tried to call nhtsa number for assistance. it is disconnected. need to update complaint number 11205680. date occurred is inaccurate and want it to be accurate if questioned by representative. accidentally put april 19th as timing chain problem date. it was actually april 25th. please update.
2010 chevrolet traverse 130k miles(told it is in kil.) 2nd owner. all oil changes and services done. 2 major issues. suv made loud noise and lost all control of steering and other functions and car shut down while on a freeway, going high speeds, while traveling with 3 children. almost hit from behind by 2 cars. was told by gm service center that the timing chain fell off/mechanical failure due to skipping. other components damaged and all needs to be replaced. does not seem right for the timing chain to fall off. seems to be a mechanical defect, not normal wear and tear. called gm cs several times to explain recent issues and worry of safety and reliability due to multiple repeated timing chain failures on same vehicals with same owners on 2010 and newer traverse. told by cs no warranty no recall so can't help. service manager requested assistance from gm for repairs and it was denied. i called gm again, was told they would communicate with service center and call me back later this week. prior the power steering failed twice within months. repaired power steering twice as well as power steering rack. first failure we almost crashed ...
Check engine is on. took to a mechanic and was told timing chain problem and that this has been happening quite often with the traverse. time for a recall
My timing chain is going bad with only 104,000 miles. to fix will require a new engine.
Loss of power while driving though intersection. p0008 set. timing chain needs to be replaced. vehicle has 93000mi. gm customer satisfaction #10287 for 10 years / 120k mi applies only for 2009 model year but has same llt engine.
My vehicle has the check engine light on and is throwing dtc code p0008 which is caused by premature wear of the timing chain(s). this seems to be a well known issue and in fact the same engine has a "special warranty" on the 2009 traverse and several other lambda platform vehicles prior to 2010. this is the same engine. the special warranty currently in place on the older models is 11340-c. this condition could lead to a catastrophic failure of the engine and strand the vehicle - possibly in a dangerous place without the ability to move it.
I have antifreeze in the engine it has been leaking fluid. i took it to a shop and they told me the antifreeze is in the engine and i needed a new engine. i also put a power steering pump in because the car was having issues turning two years into me having the suv. i bought the suv in 2015. it has been ine issue after another.
Timing chain as well as catalytic converter completely destroyed after the timing chain was installed by a chevrolet dealership less than 1 year go. check engine light came on vehicle went into safety mode and now will not start. chevrolet will not help cover the cost of repairs since it is out of warranty. the car only has 48000 miles
I was parked the traction control light came on. when i started driving the car would only go 10 mph. when i looked up the problemb it sounds like a lot of traverse owners are having the same problem why have they not recalled. for this issue

The check engine light has been on for two years in my traverse and my local mechanic doesn't know why. for about the same amount of time, when filling the tank we have to turn all electronics off and then after the fill we have to pump the gas pedal and coax it into starting. again, local mechanic doesn't know what to do that won't cost a fortune, so advised to continue driving if what we do works. for the last month or so the stabilitrak warning light has come on periodically and then the reduced engine power light also comes on. this happens when it is really cold. at first nothing else happened, but the last three times we did lose power. i went down to 40mph while driving on the interstate and then at 21 below last night we couldn't go over 10-15 mph. after turning the car off for a while it normally re-sets which it did last night and we finally made it home. this engine power reduction and stabilitrak issue happens while driving. the check engine light is always on when the car is on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet traverse. the contact stated that the check engine indicator illuminated and the engine power was reduced. chuck fairbanks chevrolet (629 n interstate 35 e, desoto, tx 75115, (972) 468-0463) diagnosed that the timing chain needed to be replaced. the manufacturer excluded the vehicle from an extended warranty campaign and recommended having a dealer diagnose the vehicle. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
