Yep. Toyota is recalling crossovers for faulty fuel pumps as well. I wonder if it’s the same supplier since the part is on back order, that usually means it’s a high volume of defective units.

I've been a loyal GM customer for all my life. I used to trade every couple of years. I got this bone disease and had to go on disability and had to keep my current GM vehicle which just happened to be a 2010 Cadillac Escalade that I had to refinance because I had to quit work and go on Social Security disability. Thanks to God, that 2010 Cadillac Escalade has been an great vehicle. I don't think I will be able to afford another one but I sure do like these that are coming out soon, they are nice looking for sure!

Gr8 video. I find the OTA update issues troubling as I feel things have become excessively complicated. 14:40 Include the mileage - very important. GDI carbon build-up ... this is a common problem and unfortunately seems to require both the the traditional port injection in addition to the new GDI delivery system and not sure whey each manufacturer including Toyota seems to have trouble realizing this and switching everything to the dual system. Vehicles remain too heavy, big and bloated (to increase profit margins) then complexity is introduced by GDI & adding turbos and finally gas electric hybrids. Maybe it is time to return to a more plain and lighter vehicle with (Gasp) 4 cyl and no turbo.
@thelonglastexpert

Thank you for your comment. Don't be afraid of OTA updates; the new electric architecture, Global B, is highly reliable, and any issues will likely be resolved soon. Unfortunately, modern environmental standards dictate their conditions, and GM has chosen its own path to address this challenge. It will be interesting to see how they handle it over time. Currently, LK0 and L3B seem like a good alternative, but more time is needed to fully assess their reliability. The combined injection is indeed an interesting solution, and the next video will focus on a car with such a fuel system. By the way, could you share your experience with the operation of your cars? Which one instilled more confidence in you? don't forget to mention the mileage

Funny you should mention dual injection. I have a close friend with a 2009 Lexus IS350 and it came with dual injection from the factory. Neither of us can understand why it took Toyota almost 15 years to incorporate it in all their engines, but we're glad they did. It is a very efficient setup he has. As far as this engine not having it, I'm more worried about this second generation one that GM is starting to utilize. I don't have high hopes for it. I do like turbos because of the old school punch you'd get, but I don't like how they don't have as long of a service life as the whole engine. GM could not make entire cooling systems out of plastic, or at least, not make the replacement thermostat housings wild enough that they cost $75 if they AREN'T made of plastic.

@@MarcelloTheBandit couple of problems with turbos they’re hard on the head gasket and overused will cause early head gasket failure. Second thing is when they’re used incorrectly if you spin them up and then park the car because they spin up around 100,000 RPMs they can spin for up to five minutes and they need lubrication throughout that time. Also when the motor is cold, it’s not a good time to use the turbo to hammer on a cold engine. These are the things a shop told me that rebuilds turbos. He said they had a come in. They had over 300,000 miles when they checked the turbo, everything was fine, and it never been taken apart.

This new Traverse looked appealing to me, since Ive been kinda wanting more room when I take my family to Florida every year. Im gonna wait at least another 100,000 miles before I think about trading it in. Hopefully by then, all these new engines that have been coming out shows what theyre really made of. Never owned a GM, prior to my CRV I had a 2014 Tundra. And it was at 110K miles before I traded it in. Loved that truck, but my job transferred me and I had to commute 1 hour each way daily.

From a design perspective this is ome of the most masculine and attractive suvs in the class. As a hater of american car design (ugly - exceptions apply) and its disappointing reliability, i have to give credit - GM, on paper, has hit a grand slam with this redesign and value proposition. This thing looks better than any Toyota

Wasn’t a Traverse but its bougie little brother the 19 gmc terrain Denali. I’ll have to say out of several new American cars I’ve owned from the likes of ford, jeep, dodge and ram. The terrain never saw the shop for a recall or any issue. Only reason why I got rid of it was because it felt like a grandma suv and resell was worst than any vehicle I’ve ever owned.

Getting the clunkier look like the rest of the government motor lineups. Theyve had a turbulent history of being made at various plants over the last 2 decades. One being in the controversial spring hill plant where it jumped in for a period of time after the failure of the saturn folley. No consistency, no quality. Nothing has changed, only the question where is it being built now? Lol

Are they going to make service or law enforcement pursuit models out these? They're close to the same size as the Explorer, and the Durango is gone after this year. There would be a market out there if they don't want a big SUV like the Tahoe.

how can they talk about reliability when this engine hasn't been used in this application before? I love the design, but as someone who frequently tows my toys to the cottage, i'm a bit weary of a small twin turbo engine for this. I'm not blaming GM, i'm blaming Biden and these emission controls. It seems the V8s are out, and everything is going smaller. I'm also looking at the fuel savings (on the hurricane vs the v8) in the dodge applications, and the gas milage gains are minimal at best. Add the stress of towing for a small engine and I bet you'll blow more gas and definitely more strain on the engine life

Though the 2.7L turbo 4 cylinder is proven a more reliable engine than the Ford 2.7L V6 Ecoboost but it's not perfect either. Rather have a 3.5L Atkinson cycle V6 range extender plug-in hybrid truck though. However a Cavalier with a 1.3 turbo 3 cylinder and an Aveo with its 1.2L sister engine would be pretty decent though. The GM 3.6L HFV6 engines have timing chain and water pump failures especially their earlier engines in the Gen 1 Cadillac CTS. However, I want an EV as my next vehicle no need to worry about turbo failures, premature main and rod bearing failures, etc., just set it and forget it.

Try a Honda CRV or Toyota they wont have issues or the chances are extremely low that you will have any problems with them. My mom has had 3 CRVs her first CRV she owned which was a 2002 she drove 14 years and put over 190,000 miles on it it never left her stranded and she did not maintain it other then Oil Changes when she thought about it and it would fire up on the first crank every time - the reliability was a big shock to her after owning nothing but Chevy which left her stranded on several occasions - that is why she is on her 3rd CRV and stopped buying Chevy.

For the most part, GM's engines are fine (the non-turbo ones). It's everything else that's junk. The transmissions, the frames and bodies that rot away due to no corrosion protection. I've had Chevrolets from the 2000's that were made better, and they still are nowhere near Toyota or Honda level quality.

The only thing I would have to agree with is transmission. They definitely had a couple models with not so great transmissions. I believe frame and body wise GM is pretty damn good, but it does depend on what models you are buying. I personally have felt Toyota has went a little down hill in the past few years. That being said my experiences are second hand as my grandpa was the one who was die hard Toyota, he drove the Tacoma and my grandma the Avalon. And both had their fair share of issues towards the end of their ownership of them. And she swapped to a buick Lacrosse and he drives a GMC Canyon with the little diesel and they are extremely ahead in comfort compared the toyotas. And the Lacrosse impressed him when he was able to get 40mpg out of it on a cross country road trip. And I drive a Gmc 1500 slt and it has been good to me so far, I personally don’t love the cylinder deactivation but it hasn’t given me any problems yet

Ehh....pass! That peppy small 4 cylinder just doesn't suit with the suv of its class. Why put such a tiny motor and forcing it to work twice as hard putting a turbo that may make more power, but at the cost of carbon build and premature failure due to excessive heat build up wearing out engine components much faster. A naturally asperated and properly tune V6 engube can do a much better job easily under both load and unload whenever you need it.

Thanks!@@ChrisL-q1d The new 2024 Atlas seems to be offered only with the 2.0 engine, so the choice is, you could say, no longer there, thanks to the EPA. All 2.0 TSI engines have been upgraded, addressing major issues but it all depends on how long you plan to keep this car. If the goal is to drive 100,000 miles and then sell, it's worth considering. However, expecting a 2.0 turbocharged, thermally loaded engine to pull a huge SUV for 300,000 miles is not advisable

I showed this video to two of my coworkers who has these chevy traverse, and this is what they have to say: The Traverse is a normal typical gm vehicule, with gm quirks, gm poor assembly and execution, cheap made interior and trims, ok engine at limit if well maintained but not that most, and very poor resale value, as most of gm vehicules. Nothing more, nothing less. They said to me they are ok if you buy used for very cheap, but new you should only go leasing, not buy one. Previous version of Traverse less likely pass the 200k mark ("less likely" - not that it wont), they are tearing apart like most other gm products. They wouldn't touch a new 2024 model even with a 10ft pole they said, gm needs to proof they fix their quality issues in general, which cannot be done over a single year. For those who does not want to pay Toyota premium, they would prefer going Hyundai or Kia. But in terms of reliability, Toyota has absolutely nothing to be worry about against the Traverse.
