Consumer Description

THIS IS MY SECOND E-MAIL TO YOU ABOUT MY TIMING CHAIN BREAKING AND DESTROYING MY ENGINE WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE AT MY EXPENSE ($5,100) BECAUSE GM WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I AM RESENDING THIS BECAUSE OF THE RECENT RECALL ON COBALTS IGNITION SWITCHES THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO AND DID NOTHING. THE TIMING CHAINS ON THESE MODELS (COBALTS) HAVE BEEN BREAKING FOR YEARS ACCORDING TO 3 MECHANICS I SPOKE TO WHOM ALL SAID THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL YEARS AGO JUST LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCHES THEY IGNORED UP TO NOW. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE ALSO HERD FROM 5 OTHER COBALT OWNERS WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME.( NOT A COINCIDENCE). *TR
