It appears that Chevrolet recognized this in the 2009-2011 Traverse models and redesigned the engine in 2012. This seems to be a common problem with the 2010 Traverse. The second time it occurred at 113k miles and was not covered and now this one at 150k miles. The first incident occurred at 50k miles and was covered under warranty.
Fortunately, we have been able to get it repaired before it caused any major issues.

I am not stuck with a pile of junk that needs a new engine all because Chevy won't own up to their failure. Chevy knows they have a problem with this engine but they won't replace them. this brass ring was never on the recall list so the previous owners knew nothing about it. The burning oil smell never went away so I took it back and he found that the timing belt needs replaced after two months because a brass ring that was supposed to be replaced wasn't. I have had the car for two years now and after taking it to a local mechanic, not a GM or Chevy mechanic, we were told it needs the timing belt replaced so we had that done. the smell kept getting worse but everywhere I took it they said it was normal. A week after purchasing it I took it back to the dealership due to a burning oil smell and was told it was "normal Traverse smell". I bought this car used with 80,000 miles on it. The failure mileage was approximately 131,000 The contact was referred to NHTSA for further assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and informed him that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The contact also mentioned that the middle rear seat belt would become stuck and would not unlatch as needed. The dealer informed him that the failure was due to a defective timing chain however, while repairing the vehicle, the dealer informed him that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact then called the dealer where he arranged to have the vehicle towed to a local dealer. The contact called his son and towed the vehicle to his home. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they replaced the idler pulley however, the vehicle was not repaired, and the vehicle would not start. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, an abnormal knocking noise would emit from the vehicle without warning. The contact's wife owns a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse.
