NHTSA Complaint #10924234 — 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO

TIMING CHAIN. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. REVEALED CODE P0008 WHICH WAS LATER FOUND TO BE AN ISSUE WITH A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN. VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 50,000 MILES AND EVEN THE DEALER ADMITTED IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCH, DISCOVERED THAT THE SAME ENGINE USED IN THE 2010 LLT CAMARO WAS USED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES---BUT THOSE VEHICLES HAD POWER TRAIN WARRANTIES EXTENDED TO 10 YEAR/120,000 MILES TO HELP COVER THIS POTENTIAL ISSUE. THIS WAS NOT DONE FOR THE CAMARO, SO I WAS FORCED TO PAY NEARLY $1400 TO REPAIR MY CAR SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. WHY WAS THE WARRANTY NOT EXTENDED ON THE CAMARO WHICH USES THE SAME ENGINE AS THOSE OTHER GM VEHICLES??
