Consumer Description

I'M FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY MODEL YEAR 2010 GMC ACADIA. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT 96,000. THE CODE IS P0008. THIS CODE POINTS TO THE TIMING CHAIN. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMC ACADIA'S AND IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSED GMC TO EXTEND THEIR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON 2009 MODEL ACADIA'S TO 120,000 MILE OR 10 YEARS. GMC IS NOT OFFERING TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS EVEN THOUGH I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THEM TO EXTEND 2009 MODEL CARS. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN OCT 2009.
