Thought it would be nice to get a good used family safe suv but unfortunately I am stuck paying for a car that has spent more time getting towed than driven. The motor is a bad design and of course you don’t learn about that till it’s too late. The pcv valve gets frozen because of a bad design when the water builds up and you are in a cold climate it freezes and blows out the rear main seal. I had that fixed and about 2 weeks later the timing chain let go I’m assuming it’s due to a lack of oil in the hydraulic tension device. What a piece of junk. I always tried to buy American and be proud but that didn’t work. My daughter has a Rav 4 that has 250,000 miles runs like a top and has been hit 4 times and just keeps going. She only has 1 payment left and it is still going strong. Haven’t had to do much of anything to it besides brakes tires oil changes. What a great car. The point being that I will never buy another Traverse that sits in my driveway as an expensive yard ornament when I can get the Rav 4 and all it’s reliability!!

I have now had this car for over five years, as the second owner, and have over 275,000 miles. It's not as comfortable as Suburban, and doesn't handle as nicely as a mini van, but most of the issues to this point have been cosmetic or fairly normal for the vehicle category (suspension, etc). I have the most basic package; The interior is showing wear, and the driver information center's light sensor has been acting up for a while, but it still gets us where we need to go.

I loved my car for the first few years I had it, within the last year I’ve had to put at least $4,000 into it. The digital panel where it started range til e and all the good stuff dims and you can’t see, my water pump went out, my power steering went out, my high pressure fuel pump went out, not to mention to get a tuneup you have to take it to a garage to take the manifold off to get the job done, and now my motor is toast…there are holes in my pistons…10/10 do not recommend…but I will say it was a nice car while it lasted but way too many issues and a crappy engine.
