Broken Exhaust Pipe, There is a Recall number for some 2019 Chevrolet Traverse Manufacturer recall number: N212356540 for the same issue, good up to 150,000 Miles.

Timing cover / valve covers...had to drop the engine...5K for 100,000 miles. Other 2019 Traverse have had issues for recall but not my VIN. If some VIN numbers have been recalled, then all VIN numbers with the same issue should be covered

Known issue with the front timing cover leaking. confirmed by Dealer and local repair shop that it is an issue they see on these engines all the time and is a manufacturing problem.

Broken catalytic converter at joint with exhaust pipe. Manufacturer defect with the exhaust piping.

the exhaust bracket broke 3 times had it repaired at my own expense each time. my muffler broke off at the weld. my exhaust cracked. then my catalytic converter broke off.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH on the highway, the contact heard a rattling sound coming from the exhaust system. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the front exhaust pipe needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure via email and letter. The approximate failure mileage was 116,719.

Exhaust pipe leak and break that caused a crack in the catalytic converter.

GM has a TSB # N212356540 for one exhaust pipe. Bracket broken a causes hole in pipe. Weld was bad. Mine was bad on both pipes and only one covered by GM, this led to catalytic converter cracking and flex pipe leaking. I had to pay to have repaired. This second pipe and catalytic converter were not covered

Oil consumption issues

When driving I feel shudder at lower speeds, medium speeds and sometimes faster speeds. Makes feel car motor or transmission can leave me in middle of highway or street compromising my safety. Vehicle can be inspected at any time. The dealer indicated fix was transmission oil change with additives, which I did, which cost 700.00 and the problems is still there. The vehicle has not been inspected by insurance but the dealer has as stated above. I bought vehicle with 46k miles and after about 1.5k it stated happening. Vehicle now has 50k miles. No codes have displayed.

RTV gasket on engine get worn out at 60,000miles and causes small oil leak and gets worst over time.

Traverse Check Engine light came on and vehicle sounded louder than usual w/ additional rattle. Upon inspection passenger side bracket holding two exhaust pipes together was broken at the weld. Took to Superior Chevrolet (dealer) 4/5/24 who stated right side pipe and bracket were not covered under Special Coverage Adjustment Front Exhaust Pipe N212356540 and only left side is covered despite the bracket being attached to both pipes. Awaiting part to complete repair at dealership. Advised by dealership vehicle is okay to drive until parts arrive and repair can be completed. 4/14/24 driving on I40 heard large bang from underneath vehicle, looked in rearview mirror to see the remaining portion of the bracket fly out from under vehicle and almost hit the car's windshield behind me, they had to swerve in heavy traffic to avoid having it go through their windshield. Vehicle immediately sounds like a motorcycle with no baffles, loud in the cabin and smelling of exhaust. Once stopped, climbed under vehicle to see that the complete bracket was missing from both pipes and a gaping hole in the drivers side front exhaust pipe. Bracket could have killed someone or caused a major accident while airborne on the Highway and cabin smells of exhaust.

Transmission oil leak

See attached document for complaint

I have a 2019 Chevy Traverse with 57,000 miles on it currently. First incident of loud noise coming from catalytic converter area began in Fall of 2022. In January 2023 I took it to the dealer and they found 2 cracks where the catalytic converter was cracked on each side of the pipes. I think they replaced the exhaust system at that time. Now, not even 1 year later, in 10/2023 I am hearing that same loud, embarrassing noise from my exhaust. I took it to the dealer today and there is a crack in my catalytic converter and the bracket broken off exhaust pipe that attaches to the muffler. I should not have to pay for this! In the Traverse Forum online this is a problem many people are having!

Recall for Emissions Evap leak repaired less than a year ago after engine light illuminated. Had to be taken in two separate times to be fixed. Engine light illuminated again a week ago 10/1/23, when scanned by mechanic it is showing the same emissions Evap leak. The vehicle is sputtering when trying to start and doesn’t feel safe when driving. Dealership said they’re unable to even look and diagnose for another week after knowing it’s the same recall.

I PURCHASED THE TRAVERSE IN MARCH 2023 AND TRULY ENJOYED IT. BUT IN THE LAST WEEK IT HAS BEEN GIVING PROBLEMS TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN OFF ENGINE, IT KEEPS SAYING TO "SHIFT TO PARK" AND I HAVE TO RESTART AND CHANGE GEARS TO REDO THE PARKING IT MAY BE THE GEAR BOX NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY, AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE UNTIL I HAVE TO KEEP REDOING THE PARKING AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL STOP. I AM SO WORRIED IT WILL COME OUT OF PARK AND ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TO STREET, AS I HAVE A SLANTED DRIVEWAY AND NO OPTION TO PARK IN STREET. COULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME IF THERE IS A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS. MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE SAW A NOTICE OF IT ON HER PHONE BUT I COULDN'T FIND IT. I AM 75 YRS OLD ON LIMITED INCOME AND DONT WANT TO HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS OR CAUSE ONE. THANK YOU

BACK BRACKET ON EXHAUST THAT IS WELDED ON HAS FAILED. THE WELD HAS FAILED CAUSING A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT JUST 43K MILES. THERE IS ALREADY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THE FRONT BRACKET ON THE 2019 CHEVY TRAVERSE.

Driving through Arizona desert and California desert, air conditioning went out. On Monday, contacted Mission Bay Chevrolet to get AC repaired. Dealership and service rep were excellent but this AC should not have failed at 39,151 miles. Diagnosis showed that Compressor clutch pulley melted freezing the compressor. I can only thank God that I had an extended warranty.

When my vehicle is in park my vehicle will not turn off and an error comes on my screen and says shift to park.
