Consumer Description

WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNALS OUR TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND SLIPPED ON OUR 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE. IT CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED WHILE IN MOTION, STOPPING THE VEHICLE FROM MOVEMENT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS LUCKILY ON A COUNTRY DIRT ROAD WITHOUT MUCH TRAFFIC, OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE GONE VERY BAD ON THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. THE 2007- 2009 BUICK ENCLAVE HAS THIS SAME KNOW ISSUE WITH A RECALL, AND FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OUR MECHANIC THE PARTS USED IN THE 2010'S ARE THE SAME. IT IS IRRITATING THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL WITH THE 2010 AND LATER, I'VE SEEN SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE 2010 HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY CAR BACK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP, BUT CAN PROVIDE A INVOICE ONCE ONE IS AVAILABLE TO ME. *TR
