NHTSA Complaint #10935055 — 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LAST WEEK. I TOOK MY 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE (82,400 MILES) TO THE LOCAL DEALER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE CAR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED ABOUT 20 MONTHS AGO. THEY TELL ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN IS WORN AND MUST BE REPLACED - AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED ON A CAR WITH 82,000 MILES. SINCE THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY ONLY COVERED IT TO 5-YRS/100K MILES, IT WAS NO LONGER IN EFFECT AND SO THEY WOULDN'T COVER THE COST TO FIX THE CAR.
