NHTSA Complaint #10692177 — 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO

THIS CAR IS ONLY DRIVEN IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. ON OCCASION I TAKE IT OUT WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE AND THERE ISN'T ANY SNOW JUST TO WASH IT AND RUN IT BECAUSE IT STAYS PARKED IN THE WINTER. WHILE I WAS OUT,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT NEEDS A TIMING CHAIN ALREADY AND IT WILL COST BETWEEN 800.00-1,000.00 TO FIX. OF COURSE IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE 5 YEAR/ 100,000 MILE WARRANTY BECAUSE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2009 WHICH IS OVER THE 5 YEARS BUT STILL UNDER THE MILEAGE. I DID MY RESEARCH ON IT AND THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING BELT ON THESE ENGINES BUT GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMERS ARE DISHING OUT MORE MONEY. THIS IS SOMETHING GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS! *TR
