My wife is looking at buying a 2012 Traverse. I've been told by some owners of a similar year that they love the one they own. On the other hand, I looked at a April 2020 review written by a Tom Harbid that says the engines that were put in the Traverse from 2009 to 2015 were junk and break down at a little over 100,000 miles.
Anyone had any experience with this vehicle?
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

You all convinced me, no Traverse. How about a Ford Explorer? Any opinions on them?

Look at Hyundai. Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade. The engine and transmission has lifetime warranty. The GF just got a Santa Fe Calligraphy 2.5L with a turbo and 8 speed automatic. It's hot. The Palisade is bigger and can tow some weight. Rated to tow 5000# with a 291 hp 3.8L engine

People that drive them love them, people that work on them hate them. That tells me all I need to know. They definitely keep us technicians employed.

Save yourself a lot of grief and just pony up and buy a Toyota. Don't be put-off by a Japanese name, I think they are practically all built in the USA anyway.
