NHTSA Complaint #10851567 — 2007 SATURN AURA

SES LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT APPROX 95,000 MILES WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. CODE READ IS P0017. I TOOK TO MY LOCAL IOWA CITY GM DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE AND WAS TOLD IT'S A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN. I'M THE VEHICLE'S SECOND OWNER AND PURCHASED IT 6 YEARS AGO AT 33,000 MILES. I'VE ALWAYS PERFORMED REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT THE SPECIFIED INTERVALS AND TAKEN GOOD CARE OF THE CAR. I WAS QUOTED $2,500 TO FIX THIS, AND TOLD THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR CERTAIN EFFECTED VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR WITH THE SAME ENGINE BUT EXCLUDES THE SATUN/AURA XR: HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/TSBS/. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY MY 3.6L ENGINE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ABOVE BULLETIN.
