Consumer Description

THE CAM SHAFT ENGINE CORRELATION CODE INDICATED STRETCHED TIMING AND CHAIN GUIDES. EXTENDED WARRANTEES UP TO 10 YEARS AND 120,000 MILES HAVE BEEN OFFERED FOR 2007 AND 2009 GMC ACADIAS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. TO DATE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN OFFERED FOR THE 2010 MODEL EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE SAME ISSUE. MINE FAILED AT 51,000 MILES. HAD TO HAVE THE TIMING CHAINS REPLACED. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED WITH GM PAYING HALF. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE FACT MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2009 AND SHOULD FALL UNDER THE ABOVE MENTIONED RECALL AS THE FAILURE IS FOR THE SAME REASON. I AM CONCERNED WHY SPECIAL COVERAGE #11340 DOES NOT APPLY TO 2010 VEHICLES OF THIS NATURE AS THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED IN THE 2010 VEHICLE.
