NHTSA Complaint #11076193 — 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE

ON JANUARY 9, 2018, WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT ON THE CITY STREET, AS I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT MY VEHICLE CUT OFF. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED HOME WHICH WAS THE CLOSEST DESTINATION. MY 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE HAS BEEN LOOKED AT JIM MURPHY BUICK AND WEST HERR CHEVY AND BOTH DEALERSHIPS CONCLUDED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THE TIMING CHAIN. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER WORKING, I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE TIMING CHAIN. WHEN SEEKING A RECONDITIONED ENGINE, THE RESPONSE I'VE GOTTEN FROM AUTO PART/ENGINE DEALERS IS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE TIMING CHAIN ON THOSE ENGINES FOR 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE MODELS AND THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS NOT BUILT TO LAST LONG. BUT, THE RECONDITIONED ENGINES TIMING CHAIN IS NOW UPGRADED TO THE NEW GM SPECS.
