  I purchased a pre-owned 2013 Traverse with more than 200,000 miles on it. Can I expect to encounter a lot of issues with it?

  I purchased my 2013 Chevy Traverse two years ago with 96,000 miles on it. Currently, it has 242,852 miles. My previous vehicle was a Chevy Equinox, which had 530,000 miles when I sold it. If you maintain your vehicle, do regular maintenance, and rotate the tires with every oil change, it will have a long lifespan. However, you must be willing to perform necessary maintenance when required. For reference, I usually drive 70,000 to 80,000 miles per year.

  I owned two Chevy Traverse SUVs, one from 2009 and another from 2016. Both vehicles had serious engine issues and required costly repairs before reaching 100,000 miles. It is important to thoroughly research before purchasing to avoid similar problems.

  I bought a 2012 car with 88,000 miles in 2017, and now it has 106,000 miles. The only problem I've had is that I needed to replace a headlight bulb.

  I had a 2010 Traverse that was trouble-free up to 175,000 miles before I sold it. I now own a 2012 Traverse that I purchased used with 45,000 miles. I've put 140,000 miles on it so far and have only had to replace two headlight bulbs and swap out the Michelin tires for Goodyears. Besides those minor maintenance tasks, I haven't had any issues. I tend to drive aggressively, which can be tough on brakes, transmissions, and engines, but this SUV has held up well. It actually outperforms many regular cars I've driven. The engine and transmission are both sturdy and responsive when pushed. While there is some body sway, that's to be expected from an SUV. The ride is smooth, especially after upgrading to Goodyear tires, which have improved cornering and rainy weather performance. The front-wheel-drive setup is well-balanced, so it handles sharp turns at speed without plowing like I'd seen with the original Michelin tires. Overall, it's a solid mid-range SUV. It may not be a Tahoe, but it easily outshines the 2017 Lexus and Hyundai models I also own.

  We've owned a 2011 Traverse LT for the last 8 years, driving it for 205,000 km. During this time, we've had to replace a few light bulbs, the rear tailgate shock to support the trunk, all 4 shocks, 2 bearings, and the sway bar link. Despite these repairs, we are pleased with the overall performance of the vehicle. We make sure to change the oil before it reaches 0%, which prevented a timing belt/chain issue.

  The 2010 Traverse has been a major drain on my finances. I strongly suggest steering clear of it. After spending a significant amount on repairs, the engine failed at 160,000 miles. I refused to invest any more money in that problematic vehicle. I have decided to never purchase another General Motors product.

  I purchased a brand new 2009 Traverse. The transmission was rebuilt at 110,000 miles, followed by the engine at 130,000 miles. I thought I would be set for a long time, but unexpectedly the transmission failed again at 167,000 miles, along with various electronic problems cropping up.

  I drive a front-wheel drive 2011 Traverse, which I'm the third owner of. I make sure to keep up with regular maintenance and repairs, and even at 225,000 miles, it's still running great. From what I've noticed, most problems people encounter seem to be with the all-wheel drive version.
