[QUOTE="Chevy Ecotec, post: 30995, member: 12158"] No issues with the cats, except for one weld breaking at the pipe when the torque mount got sloppy. I just welded it back up and replaced the mount. My Traverse doesn't leak or burn oil, but then again, it's had Mobil 1 in it since the first oil change and every 4,000 miles thereafter. The 2.4 in my 2012 Equinox was still going strong at 225k before I swapped it out for the 2.0 turbo. I'm not saying you don't take care of your vehicles, but I haven't experienced any of the major issues that others have with any of my GM vehicles over the years. Stock radios losing sound is my biggest complaint. We'll probably never buy another Traverse, but I'm not surprised by the decision either. They put a four-cylinder engine in the Silverado and a V6 in a 2500 work van. My son uses one of those work vans for his HVAC company, and he cannot safely make a left turn.
