Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR, TURNING VEHICLE AROUND A CUL-DE-SAC THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNS OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE GMC DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THE ONLY RECALL I WAS TOLD WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD ORDER MY PARTS AND THEY WOULD CALL ME; I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL. I HAVE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO TWO REPAIR SHOPS AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH THAT IT IS A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND I NEED TO INSTALL A NEW ENGINE! I CALLED THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THE RECALL COULD BE A DIRECT RESULT OF MY TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, AND IF I HAD ANY OTHER RECALLS? I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE IF NOT APART OF THE RECALL. I DO NOT HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY TO PAY MULTIPLE TIMES FOR MY CAR TO BE LOOKED AT OR TO PUT AN ENGINE IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 85K MILES. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN LATE DECEMBER OF 2015 AND HAVE NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SINCE ABOUT SEPTEMBER OF 2016. I HAVE GOTTEN AT LEAST TWO OIL CHANGES IN THAT TIME FRAME (DEC-SEPT) FROM THE SAME GMC DEALERSHIP AND WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT ANY RECALLS OR ANY ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE BESIDES NEEDING TIRES/BRAKES. ONE OF THE MECHANICS THAT I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SAID I HAVE OTHER RECALLS. I WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE ANY OTHERS ONLINE AND THAT IS MY REASON FOR WRITING THIS. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED.
