NHTSA Complaint #11018739 — 2009 CADILLAC CTS

CTS TIMING CHAIN BAD - ENGINE CODES P0008 & P0017 COMING UP - WAS TOLD BY CADILLAC OF LAS VEGAS THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. REGARDING TSB 11340 (NHTSA REFERENCE- 10043857), WHICH STATES, "IF PREMATURE WEAR OF THE TIMING CHAIN OCCURS ON YOUR 2007 MODEL YEAR GMC ACADIA; SATURN OUTLOOK; 2007-2009 MODEL YEAR CADILLAC CTS 2009 MODEL YEAR 2009 EQUIPPED WITH A 2.8L/3.6L V6 ENGINE, WITHIN 10 YEARS OF THE DATE YOUR VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE OR 120,000 MILES (193,000 KM), WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, THE CONDITION WILL BE REPAIRED FOR YOU AT NO CHARGE" OUR 2009 CADILLAC CTS WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE MENTIONED IN THE BULLETIN, BUT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY CULPABILITY IN THE MATTER, DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING WITHIN THE PARAMETERS ESTABLISHED WITHIN THE BULLETIN. WE ASK FOR ANY AND ALL ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. A QUICK SCAN OF THE INTERNET SHOWS A LARGE NUMBER OF GM VEHICLE OWNERS WITH VEHICLES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE TSB THAT WERE BEING DENIED SERVICE. IF A COMPANY MAKES A CLAIM, IT SHOULDN'T BE DONE AS A PR GESTURE WITH NO ACTION BEHIND IT. THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO LIVE UP TO THEIR WORDS AND BACK THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE SOLD.
