NHTSA Complaint #10875194 — 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO

MY LIGHT ENGINE CAME ON AT AROUND 100,000 MILES, SO I FIGURED IT WAS BECAUSE I NEEDED TO HAVE MY 100,000 MILE MAINTENANCE WORK DONE, WHICH WAS A REGULAR TUNE UP, WHICH INCLUDED, CHANGE OF SPARK PLUGS, AND CHANGE OF ENGINE OIL, TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL OIL CHANGE, WHICH I DID BY TAKING IT TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM NEW IN 2010. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN IT WAS WORKING FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS AND WAS RUNNING VERY SMOOTH BUT AFTER THEY COMPLETED THE WORK AND 560.00 DOLLARS LATER THE CARE CAME OUT WITH VERY BAD IDLING AND MISSING A LOT AND LOSING POWER! I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED! I DON'T AGREE WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC AND FEEL THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG AND ARE TRYING TO COVER IT UP, SO I STARTED TO RESEARCH THE MATTER TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER CAMARO OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MATTER I DON'T THINK AN ENGINE'S CHAIN SHOULD GO BAD AT 100,000 MILES! THE DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY 1600.00 TO HAVE IT REPLACED, WHICH I THINK ITS OUTRAGEOUS CONSIDERING THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON THE SAME ISSUE! I BELIEVE IT IS DANGEROUS DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY TIMING CHAIN FOR IT LOSES POWER WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS OR SWITCHING LANES!!!
