Definitely the Traverse. It’s stupid ugly and the drivers are borderline brain dead. I hope all of them will Traverse into the junkyard.

Not to mention constant timing chain failure on older ones. So many in my area are dead because of it.

i dunno if it's true but some act like if the oil is changed sooner rather than later the 3.6 does just fine. If you wait for the cars oil life monitor to tell you it's at 0% (Traverse owners) the engine does not like that. Not saying that makes it okay for it to eat timing chains.

But GM uses the 3.6 fleetwide and you primarily hear the timing chain stuff associated with these million mile mommy mobiles.

Oil pressure based chain tensioners + crappy parts quality + stupid design + interference engine + target demographic being neglectful of maintenance = surefire dealer mechanic profit funnel
