Consumer Description

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT AROUND 82,000 MILES. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING US THE TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED AND NEEDS REPLACED. $2,200.00 TO REPAIR. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS VERY ISSUE WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE 2007-2009 MODEL YEARS. FOR SOME REASON GM IS NOT WARRANTING BEYOND THAT. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I FOUND INSTANCES WHERE THE CHAIN CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED CAUSING THE DRIVE SYSTEM TO LOCK UP.
