Consumer Description

THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED ON MY BUICK ENCLAVE. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM UNDER A RECALL. IT IS HAPPENING FREQUENTLY TO OTHER OWNERS AS WELL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF IT FAILS WHILE DRIVING IT CAN RESULT IN ACCIDENTS OR INJURY. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE MOVING AND IMPACTED PERFORMANCE, BUT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT FOR ME. I HAD THE ISSUE REPAIRED BY A MECHANIC.
