As described by hundreds, if not thousands, of other owners...obdii codes p0008 and p0017, in conjunction with "service stabilitrack, awd disabled, traction control off". We have replaced multiple sensors, replaced throttle body(and sensor), replaced driver front wheel hub assembly (magnet that has to do with sensor came off). The above two codes persist. Purchased used vehicle with 118xxx miles and within a year these codes appeared. Took vehicle to dealer, who insisted it was timing chain, with estimate of $2300. However, second and third opinions disagreed...suggesting sensor issues, throttle body issues, etc. Why has the timing chain or tensioner not been recalled, if this is the issue? Fortunately, our vehicle does not go into limp mode...however, we've been told this could happen in the future. Would greatly appreciate it if the federal safety agency would do a deeper dive and generate a recall. Going to address camshaft bank sensors next before possibly replacing timing chain and/or tensioner. Additionally, problems with moisture issue of unknown location that causes the stereo speakers to not work. On sunny, warm days, stereo speakers work fine...any moisture, no speakers.

It became very hard to steer as we slowed down to turn into a parking space. It felt like manual steering and not power. The dealership said we need a steering rack and steering pump. Is there a recall on this vehicle?

Driving the traverse started to smell wires burning in the cabin dashlights started going crazy and dinging . Was about a mile to where I could pull over safely .. Started to pull off the breaks and steering seemed to stop working and the vehicle died.. I nearly hit bridge pillar not being able to steer or stop.. The car was full with myself 4 children and a newborn.. I am told the motor is ruined and no one can pinpoint the other problems.. The repair costs are around 6000$ which have not been done because honestly I'm scared for my life to fix this vehicle and drive it..

I was driving on the highway and the vehicle shut off while I was driving at 70 MPH. Lost power steering and brakes out of no where which is when I noticed the rpms was at 0. After we, by the grace of god, made it to the side of the road safely, we had it towed to a garage where the said the timing chain came off and ruined the engine and that it is a common problem and could be fixed for around $5600. The vehicle has 65k miles and blew up? Its a common problem for a vehicle to shut off on the highway and I wasn't warned that this vehicle has this kind of history and gm don't recognize this is a problem!

I got my car 6 months ago, so far the brakes went out, rotors went out, all struts had to be reolaced, heater broke, air conditioner leakes, and now timing chains need to be replaved. I found an inspection completed 2 weeks before I bought my car done at another dealership. The list of issues is scary.
