Consumer Description

TIMING CHAIN, WATER PUMP, TENSIONER ALL WENT BAD, CAUSING FURTHER INTERNAL PROBLEMS. CAME TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT RE-START. CHEVROLET REQUIRED AN "AUTHORIZED" DIAGNOSIS. CHEVROLET HAD PREVIOUSLY EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THIS MOTOR TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAD 124,600, SO CHEVROLET REFUSED TO HELP. COST ME OVER $2400 AND THE CAR STILL WON'T RUN. PER INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 4-CYL ECO TECH ENGINE. (I BELIEVE CANADA REQUIRED A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE!)
