2011 Chevrolet Traverse complaints

BOUGHT THE CAR OCTOBER OF 2010 AND NOW THETIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACING. I READ ALL 2009 MODELS TIMEING CHAINS WERE REPLACE BY CHEVROLET UNDER A SPECIAL WARRANTY AND I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR

I HAD CONTACTED CHEVY CORPORATE ON THE STEERING ISSUE ON MY CAR WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE WERE NO HELP. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BECAUSE OF THE STEERING ALONE. SINCE THEN I HAVE OTHER ISSUES WITH MY 2011 TRAVERSE. NOW THE CAR SHUTS WHILE DRIVING. IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF GM OWNERS OF DIFFERENT VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I GUESS THERE WILL NOT BE A RECALL UNTIL SOMEONE DIES OVER THIS. SOME OF THE ISSUES INCLUDED ALL 4 STRUTS WERE BAD UNDER 100,000 MILES, RACK AND PINION GOING UP, STEERING ISSUES, LEAKING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, 3 TIMES THE AC ACTUATOR HAS GONE UP, ISSUES WITH THE LIFT GATE FAILING, LIFE GATE ONE TIME INJURED MY FATHER-IN-LAW, TIMING CHAIN FAILING PREMATURELY, AND NOW THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL IS GOING OFF. THE VEHICLE SHUTS UP WHILE DRIVING! MY WIFE GOT STUCK ON A BRIDGE AND WAS PUT IN DANGER DUE TO THIS. NOW THE TRAVERSE SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE SAID A WARNING WAS DISPLAYED ABOUT REDUCING ENGINE POWER. THE TRAVERSE WENT DOWN TO 20MPG AND THEN SHUT OFF ON A BRIDGE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT, THE STEERING COLUMN MADE AN ABNORMAL WHINING SOUND. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TURN WOULD BE EXTREMELY HARD TO EXECUTE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEAR AND PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,522.

TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON STATING TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF AND ENGINE POWER REDUCES TO 20 MPH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE PASS 20MPH I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND REDUCED POWER TO 20MPH NO THROTTLE.

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN (NO MORE THAN 30 MPH), A BEEP OCCURS AND AN ERROR - NO TRACTION CONTROL - SERVICE STABILITRACK - ENGINE POWER REDUCED. I AM THEN UNABLE TO GO OVER 10 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON AT THE END OF THIS. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, STOP MY CAR AND RESTART IN ORDER TO ASSUME REGULAR SPEED, HOWEVER, IT DID HAPPEN TWICE IN A DRIVE THAT WAS ONLY 10 MILES LONG.

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 20 MPH OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND TURNING LEFT, I HEARD A LOUD WHINING SOUND AND FELT A "THUMP" WITH SOME VIBRATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CAR CONTINUES TO MAKE THE SAME SOUND WHEN MAKING SHARPER TURNS, LIKE GOING INTO A PARKING SPACE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE A POWER STEERING LEAK AND NEED A NEW STEERING RACK TO THE TUNE OF $1300-1600 REPAIR! THIS CAR ONLY HAS 33,146 MILES. *TR

MY CAR HAD STARTED MAKING A NOISE IN THE FRONT BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE SHOP THAT I TAKE IT TO I WAS GOING TO GET MY DAUGHTER HAD MY SON NEICE AND NEPHEW WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE DASH FLASHED LOW ENGINE POWER LOST THE BREAKS AND COULD NOT STEER THE CAR. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAINS. AFTER RESEARCH AND TALKING WITH CHEVY THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ALTHOUGH THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THEY SAID WITH ME GOING TO A 3RD PARTY TO HAVE THE CAR WORKED ON THAT THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH MINE. MY CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED I HAD JUST HAD THIS CAR OVER A YEAR WHEN IT STARTED THIS. I OWE 17K STILL ON THIS CAR AND NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN SEVERAL MODELS AND CHEVY IS NOT WANTING TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE, I HAVE ALSO HAD THIS LOOKED AT BY CHEVY THEY TRIED SAYING THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR BUT IT WAS CHANGED AND HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. A SINGLE MOM PAYING 400 A MONTH ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT IT IS MESSED UP. I WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

HAD A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM. COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO BRAKING ISSUES. THEY ALSO STATING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVROLET TRAVERSE MAKE AND MODEL. SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND NOT A $600 FIX FOR ME.

WHEN RAINING WATER ENTERS INTO AC/HEATING BLOWER ACCESS PANEL AND ACCUMULATES THERE ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE BLOWER MOTOR TO FAIL. ALSO WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN WATER RUNS OUT FROM PANEL ONTO PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. HAD TO HAVE BLOWER MOTOR REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH NEW ONE. A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS NEEDED AS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE LTZ WITH JUST UNDER 75K MILES. I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2014 BEFORE THERE WAS A RECALL. TODAY, I GOT OUT OF CLASS, PICKED UP MY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL AND WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE. THIS IS A 2 MILE TRIP ROUND-TRIP. I WAS DRIVING PAST THE KIDS SCHOOL STRAIGHT AHEAD ON CITY STREETS DOING ABOUT 15 MPH, JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM OUR HOUSE, THE WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN TO BEEP AND THE DIC HAD SEVERAL MESSAGES. "ENGINE HOT A/C OFF" "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" AND "ENGINE OVERHEATED IDLE ENGINE". IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THE TRUCK. THE HIGH IN CHICAGO TODAY WAS 60 DEGREES AND I ONLY MADE THE ONE TRIP MENTIONED ABOVE. I PLAN ON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW BUT I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS A PROBLEM PEOPLE ARE HAVING. *TR

2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE. SPORADICALLY DECELERATES WHILE DRIVING, FLASHES TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND SERVICE STABILTRAK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. PULL OVER AND LET IT "REST" FOR 15 MINUTES, IT WILL RESUME DRIVING. HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS ISSUE "REPAIRED" FROM CHEVY STORE10 MONTHS AGO. MOSTLY OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION, ONCE WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON HWY DECELERATED TO 35 MPH AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT. NOW DEALERSHIP IS SUGGESTING I MAKE ANOTHER EXPENSIVE FIX, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS CAR IS A LEMON!!!! TODAY WE ARE BLOCKING TRAFFIC IN A PARKING DECK BECAUSE IT HAS DECIDED TO HAPPEN AGAIN, NO DRIVE, BUT REVERSE WORKS FINE. *TR

FRONT DOOR HINGE ROLLER IS SIEZED, BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY OPENING AND CLOSING DOOR, EXTREME METAL ON METAL CLUNKING SOUND

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 40MPH, SERVICE STABILITRAK/ SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNINGS CAME ON. WHILE MAKING A TURN, THE ENGINE CUT OUT AND I WAS JUST ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER 4 FUEL INJECTORS WERE CLOGGED REQUIRING NEW INJECTORS, NEW OXYGEN SENSORS AND DAMAGE TO ALL THREE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. AIR BAG WARNINGS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, AS DO THE TIRE SENSOR WARNINGS. I'M NOW FINDING OUT THAT THESE STABILITRAK ISSUES HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR YEARS WITH VARIOUS CHEVY AWD MODELS, WHILE GM DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

EVEN ON THE SLIGHTEST OF INCLINES, AFTER STOPPING WHILE IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARD. A FEW TIMES IT ALMOST ROLLED BACKWARD INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME. IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. OTHER TRAVERSE OWNERS HAVE TOLD ME THE SAME THING HAPPENS IN THEIRS.

I ACCELERATED FROM ONRAMP TO HIGHWAY. I RELEASED PEDAL BUT ENGINE REVS RAPIDLY INCREASED AND VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD TOWARD VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. BRAKES DID NOT STOP MY VEHICLE . I DOWN SHIFTED TO LOW GEAR PULLED ONTO SHOULDER TO AVOID COLLISION. I APPLIED BRAKES AGAIN .I SLOWED AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND PARK . REVS RETURNED TO NORMAL AND I SHUT OFF ENGINE. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER.

ON MY 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE ON THE FUEL GAUGE ONCE THE FUEL LEVEL REACHES A HALF TANK IT SUDDENLY DROPS TO EMPTY. IT IS HARD TO READ THE FUEL LEVEL AFTER THAT BECAUSE HONESTLY WHO HAS TIME TO SIT AND CALCULATE MILAGE USED EVERYDAY (I KNOW I DON'T) I HAVE READ ON OTHER FORUMS THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING ON OTHER YEARS OF TRAVERSES AND WAS TOLD TO REPORT IT. EVEN IF THE CAR SITS FOR AWHILE IT WON'T READ THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL THAT IS UNTIL FUEL HAS BEEN ADDED TO ABOVE THE HALF TANK MARK.

THE DRIVE OR PROPELLER SHAFT CAME LOOSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHILE MAKING A LOW SPEED LEFT TURN. BOLTS WERE INTACT, BUT NUTS WERE NOT FOUND.

2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE RACK AND PINION LEAK AND TIMING BELT LIGHT CAME ON. CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED, DRIVEN EASY AND HAS ONLY 93000 MILES ON IT. GM SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED...

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 95000 MILES CODE POOO8. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TRIMMING CHAINS. MY GUYS TOLD ME IT MIGHT BE COVERED BUT AFTER CHECKING MY BIN IT WAS NOT COVERED. HE TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH WITH THESE MOTORS BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND IT WOULD BE 2500 DOLLARS TO FIX A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR. GM WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD (3) DIFFERENT CODES AS SENSORS THAT HAS GONE BAD. TOOK TO DEALER WERE THEY SAID IT WAS MY TIMING CHAIN HAS STRETCH AFTER 90,000 MILES. IF THEIR CHAINS ARE STRETCHING AT 90,000 MILES IS AN ISSUE. I'M LUCKING THE VEHICLE WAS IDLE AND THE CHAINS DID NOT SNAP.

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.

VEHICLE STARTED OVERHEATING DUE TO LOW COOLANT. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE PUMP SHAFT.

MY SUV SIMPLY CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE, THEN IT CUT OFF. IT HAD TO BE PUSHED OFF THE STREET AND TOWED. HAD THIS HAPPENED 1 HOUR EARLIER WHEN I WAS ON I 85 GOING ABOUT 75 MPH, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT I WOULD NOT BE HERE RIGHT NOW.

POWER STEERING RACK FOUND LEAKING DURING NYSI. I FEEL RACK SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE TO PAY FOR A VEHICLE THAT WAS JUST IN FOR AN INSPECTION WITH NOTHING ELSE WRONG.

I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR A WEEK AGO AND NOW THE SERVICE AIR BAGS LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO THE TIMING CHAIN IS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND SURE ENOUGH THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH AIR BAGS AND TIMING CHAIN

THE REAR LIFT GATE WHEN OPEN IS SUDDENLY FALLING. IT HAS ALREADY HIT ME AND MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE BACK AND HEAD BECAUSE IT FALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM WITH THE POWER LIFT GATE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. TO QUOTE THE POWER LIFT GATE RECALL WEB PAGE: "THESE STRUTS MAY PREMATURELY WEAR AND THE OPEN LIFTGATE MAY SUDDENLY FALL. IT MAY STRIKE A PERSON, INCREASING THEIR RISK OF INJURY."

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR POWER STEERING ISSUE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE POWER STEERING ISSUE AND WAS COVERED UNDER A "SPECIAL POLICY". WHEN I PICK UP MY VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE DEALER AND WE TOOK THE CAR BACK. THEY ALIGNED THE VEHICLE. STILL SAME ISSUE. AFTER OVER A WEEK THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE "GEAR" OR "WRACK". THERE IS A SPECIAL AMENDMENT TO THE SPECIAL POLICY BUT, APPARENTLY MY CAR DIDN'T QUALIFY. NOT SURE WHY? MY CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS A NONE ISSUE WITH GM AND WE ARE CURRENTLY FIGHTING WITH THEM THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE GEAR. GM WRITES SPECIAL POLICIES FOR THE CHEAP REPAIRS BUT, WHEN IT COMES TO A MAJOR ISSUE THAT WAS NO FAULT OF MINE THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME AN ARM AND A LEG. I FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT CONSUMERS CAN BE TREATED IN THIS WAY. I HAVE STARTED WRITING MY COMPLAINTS SINCE TRYING TO DEAL WITH GM HAS BECOME UNREASONABLE. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! [XXX] P.S. IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN THE SPECIAL POLICY NUMBER AND AMENDMENT PLEASE CONTACT ME. I HAVE NUMBERS TO CALL ALSO. :) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I PURCHASED THIS 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE IN FEB. OF 2015, SO I BELIEVED IT TO BE A FAIRLY NEW CAR IN GOOD SHAPE. NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER THE GAS HAND BECOMES FAULTY AND IS NOT SHOWING THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GAS, AND STARTS FLUCTUATING. NEXT I'M RIDING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND READS LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND SHUTS OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. NOW I AM FREAKING OUT WITH ME AND MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND OTHERS FLYING AROUND ME DOING 75 TO 80 MPH TO MY DECREASING SPEED. I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN'S LIVES AS CARS AND TRUCKS ARE SPEEDING AROUND AND HONKING AT ME. THE TRUCK DIES AND I BARELY MANAGE TO GET TO THE SIDE SO THAT I WOULD NOT BE HIT. I THEN GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO THEN SAYS THAT THE TRUCK NEEDS A WATER PUMP WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY ALSO RESET MY FUEL SENSOR BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY TESTED IT AND IT WAS STILL GOOD. SO IT ONLY COST ME $100.00. I PICK MY TRUCK UP AND IT WORKS FINE FOR LESS THAN A MONTH AND STARTS UP AGAIN. I RUN OUT OF GAS ON A BUSY STREET AND GET ANOTHER TOW. BACK TO THE CHEVROLET HOUSE IT GOES. THIS TIME THEY RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SAYS ITS STILL NOT THE FUEL PUMP, SENSOR, OR ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING AT ALL. I GO PICK IT UP ONCE AGAIN AND ON MY WAY HOME RAN OUT OF GAS, WHILE THE GAS LEVEL IS READING RIGHT AT HALF A TANK. I KNOW THERE WAS GAS IN THE TANK WHEN I RAN OUT AND WHEN THE TRUCK WAS TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT MY VEHICL

SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR AT 54,961 FROM 1 1/2 YEARS AGO, I HAVE FIXED THE HEATING SYSTEM (800), WHEELING BEARING (290) AND NOW A STEERING PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED A CHEVROLETS FOR A LONG TIME BUT THIS IS A PIECE OF JUNK. I AM SICKENED TO THINK THAT AN AMERICAN COMPANY SUCH AS CHEVROLET HAS NO INTENTIONS TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY PREVALENT IN THESE CARS. MAYBE A COUPLE OF DEATHS AND SOME LAWSUITS WILL WAKE YOU UP! I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE A CHEVY/GMC PRODUCT BASED ON THIS EXPERIENCE. $1500 TO FIX SOMETHING I STILL OWE MONEY ON>>>BULL CRAP >>BTW I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM>> THANKS

MY CAR HAS 52,000 AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THE TIMING CHAINS NEED TO BE REPLACED. REASON IS BECAUSE OF YOUR OIL CHANGE INDICATOR CAUSES YOU TO BURN TO MUCH OIL AND YOUR RUNNING YOU CAR ON LOW OIL LEVELS. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR LETS YOU GO 5,000 MILES BEFORE AN OIL CHANGE, YOU STILL SHOULD CHECK YOUR OIL LEVELS ONCE A MONTH BECAUSE YOU ARE BURNING OIL. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT. BECAUSE I FOLLOW THE OIL LIFE INDICATOR I NOW AM STUCK WITH A $3200 REPAIR BILL. CHEVY EVEN HAS A SPECIAL TECHNICAL BULLETIN ASSOCIATED WITH MY ENGINE FOR THE PROBLEM THAT EXTENDS WARRANTY COVERAGE TO 10 YEARS / 120,000 MILES BUT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T QUALIFY.

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED THAT THE MIRROR WAS DEVELOPING A DARK FILM WHICH KEPT GETTING WORSE. IT IS NOW VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE MIRROR. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT AND SO IT IS NOW PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND NOT BEING DRIVEN.

LEFT LIFT GATE SUPPORT MALFUNCTIONED. IT LEAKED ALL THE GAS OUT AND AND SLAMMED SHUT NEARLY MISSING ME. I GOT AN ABRASION ON MY KNUCKLE ON MY RIGHT INDEX FINGER. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, MY FAMILY WERE UNLOADING GROCERIES. I BOUGHT REPLACEMENTS WITH MY OWN MONEY AND HAVE THE RECEIPT.
