    How about recalling every 3.6 because everyone will have timing chain problems. Junk yards are full of nice Traverses, Buicks, Gmc it's a shame the junk. Go back to the 350 for trucks and 3.8s for cars and we'd have something again.

      @KevinNeustadter Місяць тому +2

      Not all Traverses have timing chain problems. I have a 2011 Traverse with 3.6L. I have 260k miles now. The key is to make sure you check the oil level and keep it topped off. Lots of people don't do the normal checks of fluids and run into problems down the road. BTW, the new Traverses for 2024 are coming with a 2.5L Turbocharged 4 cylinder with the 3.6L as an upgrade.

    • @unconventionalideas5683
      @unconventionalideas5683 Місяць тому +2

      If people would change their oil every 5K or so the chains wouldn’t fail. I don’t care what the oil life says. I have a 2008 LY7 version of this engine and drive it every day.
      And resurrecting the 3.8 would be a good idea, but modernizing it for current EPA regulations might be a problem

      @ThomasKing19933, everything is just too gimmicky! Vehicle manufacturers need to get back to the basics of combustion engines, transmissions as well as the interiors where quality and safety is more important than "comforts." We don't need "27-way adjustable seats with heating, ventilation and massage." We also don't need "Facebook, YT etc." on the center console especially when you aren't supposed use any of it unless parked.... We used to have HVAC controls in our vehicles which used cables, then vacuum actuators, then they had to move to "electronically controlled" where a "scan tool is needed to adjust and reset the system." -_- We have engines and transmissions needing major overhaul/replacement below or just above ~100,000-150,000 miles in some vehicles. Then we have vehicles suddenly catching fire (more EV's than ICE), airbags launching shrapnel into people's skulls, vehicles accelerating out of control and on and on. Quality and safety are just terrible & the exorbitant costs for these things are off the charts!

      You've been watching Scotty too long, he's a great mechanic but he doesn't know much about the manufacturing process! Do you really think they designed that tailgate to fail, do you realize the part that is failing is outsourced which is the main cause of recalls! GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, BMW EVERY auto manufacturer faces the same problems with outsourcing this time it just happened to be GM! Scotty also has a bad habit of speaking before he thinks, that tailgate is to assist people that can't or don't want to climb in the bed of their truck like a 2 year old trying to get in bed, the average truck bed is waist high so for short, elderly or handicapped people that need a truck need that assistance so it's not a "stupid idea"!

EVERY company that switched to outsourcing their parts has had this problem! I retired from GM in 2006 and I have first hand experience with it, the stamping plant I was working at lost a contract with Toyota because of quality control issues with the control arms we were sending them but there's still a lot of Toyota's still on the road with our GM made control arms!

Because I assume most people who buy trucks are able bodied tradesman who would have the common sense to buy the truck with the mechanical latch. It just seems manufacturers arn't giving people the option these days all in the name of technology/progress.
      So then you have to ask yourself if it's technology progress or corruption/greed and planned failure. And it just failed earlier than expected. I'm just saying that it would be nice for those of us that don't want all of this crap to have the option, assuming it's there.

      Both my wifes 2006 with duramax and 2021 with duramax electrical problems. My 1994 k2500 no problems. I have a 91 s-10 with 34k miles and 4.3. I figure a hillbilly restoration is in order. Still i will never buy another american made vehicle ever again. American never has built a really good sedan.

    Scotty , you made me to wait too much for the latest shock. It is a real shock. That happen because they have overengineered the gates of the trucks. All of them added so much complexity to a truck gate that they became too heavy, and the best they found was to motorized them. Now the gate has software electronics, and a manual switch. The more parts, the more it can fail.

    As a third party contract employee for GM, this isn't surprising. We have LITERALLY thousands of incomplete LYRIQS on and off property (they have a enormous field full of incomplete vehicles about 10-15 mins from the factory) . They ran these cars through the assembly process without the rear spoilers and the side panels of the rear hatch. Now those are the ones we didnt have parts for. You should see the hundreds that rolled off the line that were assembled improperly or had some other problems. Lol.

    6:52 I've heard about this "temperature differential" energy before, but always wondered how much of the power generated will be used to push the light vapor down to the cold zone and to push the heavy liquid up to the hot zone. After all, most of that energy is normally used up by convection currents in the water.

    I'm not necessarily agreeing with the Cicero but, the autonomous public transport in Alula Saudi Arabia developed in 2022 is because, unlike NYC, that has a population of over 8 million, Alula's population is just over 40K. So that's probably why they thought pod vehicles, with a capacity of between 14-22 people to transport 1k-16k people per day, would suffice. As with most "bright ideas," only time will tell. 😂

    Power Tailgate reminds me of the Side Saddle has tanks. Everyone loves to talk about and make fun of the Ford Pinto for exploding from the rear gas tank, but get ever bring up the GM side saddles that blow up when you close the door.
    Also, the train pods aren't quite as dumb as one might think when you consider how they will be used and in what way. The whole system doesn't work like a traditional train system, each pod has a set destination set by the passenger and the main rail system just acts like a highway. When they reach their destination the pod pulls off and stops then either waits at the station for the next person that needs it or gets pulled to go to another one that needs it in a high traffic area. It may cost more up front but you save a TON of money in maintenance, wear and tear, energy, etc because instead of having a large heavy multi car train you need to start up and run and bring to a stop you instead have just a little car that isn't always running. You also eliminate the need for a train schedule and different lines as your car is in theory already there just waiting there for you to put in a destination and go to whichever station you need/want to go to. Just detach the idea from traditional trains and think more like a self driving car on a Rollercoaster and track. But don't try to install these in the typical big blue metros because the cars will be destroyed super fast and the cost will sky rocket, but in places like Asia and parts of Europe, or even some US cities these would not only be perfect but highly profitable.

Broke my new electric jack on the trailer and the only thing GM would do is replace the damage on the truck told us to replace the jack at either our expense or go through the insurance. So anyway, fast forward and the new motor or whatever they did to replace the unlatching tailgate does the same thing and now it’s dropping all the time! Tied up with twine! The dealership won’t stand behind a thing either! Absolute JUNK! Does anyone know if there is an avenue to get GM to pay for my jack now with a recall?
