How about recalling every 3.6 because everyone will have timing chain problems. Junk yards are full of nice Traverses, Buicks, Gmc it's a shame the junk. Go back to the 350 for trucks and 3.8s for cars and we'd have something again.

Not all Traverses have timing chain problems. I have a 2011 Traverse with 3.6L. I have 260k miles now. The key is to make sure you check the oil level and keep it topped off. Lots of people don't do the normal checks of fluids and run into problems down the road. BTW, the new Traverses for 2024 are coming with a 2.5L Turbocharged 4 cylinder with the 3.6L as an upgrade.

@zenithperigee7442 Ай бұрын

@ThomasKing19933, everything is just too gimmicky! Vehicle manufacturers need to get back to the basics of combustion engines, transmissions as well as the interiors where quality and safety is more important than "comforts." We don't need "27-way adjustable seats with heating, ventilation and massage." We also don't need "Facebook, YT etc." on the center console especially when you aren't supposed use any of it unless parked.... We used to have HVAC controls in our vehicles which used cables, then vacuum actuators, then they had to move to "electronically controlled" where a "scan tool is needed to adjust and reset the system." -_- We have engines and transmissions needing major overhaul/replacement below or just above ~100,000-150,000 miles in some vehicles. Then we have vehicles suddenly catching fire (more EV's than ICE), airbags launching shrapnel into people's skulls, vehicles accelerating out of control and on and on. Quality and safety are just terrible & the exorbitant costs for these things are off the charts!

You've been watching Scotty too long, he's a great mechanic but he doesn't know much about the manufacturing process! Do you really think they designed that tailgate to fail, do you realize the part that is failing is outsourced which is the main cause of recalls! GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, BMW EVERY auto manufacturer faces the same problems with outsourcing this time it just happened to be GM! Scotty also has a bad habit of speaking before he thinks, that tailgate is to assist people that can't or don't want to climb in the bed of their truck like a 2 year old trying to get in bed, the average truck bed is waist high so for short, elderly or handicapped people that need a truck need that assistance so it's not a "stupid idea"!

EVERY company that switched to outsourcing their parts has had this problem! I retired from GM in 2006 and I have first hand experience with it, the stamping plant I was working at lost a contract with Toyota because of quality control issues with the control arms we were sending them but there's still a lot of Toyota's still on the road with our GM made control arms!

@@living-wellon-less5669 The question I'd ask is this a standard option or part of a package/trim level? Because I assume most people who buy trucks are able bodied tradesman who would have the common sense to buy the truck with the mechanical latch. It just seems manufacturers arn't giving people the option these days all in the name of technology/progress. So then you have to ask yourself if it's technology progress or corruption/greed and planned failure. And it just failed earlier than expected. I'm just saying that it would be nice for those of us that don't want all of this crap to have the option, assuming it's there.

Power Tailgate reminds me of the Side Saddle has tanks. Everyone loves to talk about and make fun of the Ford Pinto for exploding from the rear gas tank, but get ever bring up the GM side saddles that blow up when you close the door. Also, the train pods aren't quite as dumb as one might think when you consider how they will be used and in what way. The whole system doesn't work like a traditional train system, each pod has a set destination set by the passenger and the main rail system just acts like a highway. When they reach their destination the pod pulls off and stops then either waits at the station for the next person that needs it or gets pulled to go to another one that needs it in a high traffic area. It may cost more up front but you save a TON of money in maintenance, wear and tear, energy, etc because instead of having a large heavy multi car train you need to start up and run and bring to a stop you instead have just a little car that isn't always running. You also eliminate the need for a train schedule and different lines as your car is in theory already there just waiting there for you to put in a destination and go to whichever station you need/want to go to. Just detach the idea from traditional trains and think more like a self driving car on a Rollercoaster and track. But don't try to install these in the typical big blue metros because the cars will be destroyed super fast and the cost will sky rocket, but in places like Asia and parts of Europe, or even some US cities these would not only be perfect but highly profitable.

Gm are good cars they got stuck all the time in ukraine... my work ford transit with 260 000km used to move machinery around leaks some oil like 3 drops in half and hour... but it comes with secondary gallon oil yo keep adding it... it's like a pickup truck merged with european truck and a big rear bed with clutch covers... 👌 weird cars but does a good job for now... also needs some new fuel filter... it's not being taken care of but it runs for now... 😅

Yes they do unlatch while my horse trailer was hooked up. Broke my new electric jack on the trailer and the only thing GM would do is replace the damage on the truck told us to replace the jack at either our expense or go through the insurance. So anyway, fast forward and the new motor or whatever they did to replace the unlatching tailgate does the same thing and now it’s dropping all the time! Tied up with twine! The dealership won’t stand behind a thing either! Absolute JUNK! Does anyone know if there is an avenue to get GM to pay for my jack now with a recall?

I've been around sooooo many 73 to 98 Chevy and GMC trucks. That's back when they actually knew how to make a tailgate.

"They always have electronic problems". Thank you, and have had electronic problems for 30 years, or so. For me, their instrument clusters are a prime example of that. Very aggravating, and the replacement parts are no better. No more for me, if newer than 1990.

I purchased a new vehicle in 1979. Never again. The last car I purchased was in 2023 and it was a 1969 Mark-3. It needed a paint job, a new vynal top, and some R12 for the AC. Now its like new again and no payments and easy to find in a parking lot!!

Morgantown WV has a system called the PRT. They are personal rapid transport pods that has been running since the 70's. WVU still uses them to transport students from one campus to another. They are great and efficient. Scotty, you need to do some homework and check them out before you make fun of them!

I have a 2017 Porsche Macan and I live on an island on the west coast of Canada and live by the beach AND park outside and not even a spot of surface rust. Neither on any of my previous cars either. Porsches are pretty well built and the dealers here are amazing so I think that guy is the exception not the rule. Sucks that his dealership is such crap...I'd escalate to Porsche headquarters

Speaking of horse manure, have any of those tailgates failed? Most recalls are for POTENTIAL problems. Usually, recalls DON'T involve actual failures. Scotty claims they ARE failing. Says who? Scotty is no stickler for accuracy.
