NHTSA Complaint #11337062 — 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

ALWAYS HAD CAR SERVICED REGULARLY, OIL CHANGED. AT 99K, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE STABLI TRACK, ENGINE MAKING CLICKING SOUND, ACCELERATING AT FIRST WOULD MAKE A STRANGE HUM SOUND AND THEN IT REDUCED ENGINE POWER WHEN I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TIMING CHAIN, BONE DRY FOR OIL, SOLENOID VALVES IT NEEDED NEW ONES....END RESULT, PRETTY MUCH A WHOLE NEW ENGINE, COST ME ALMOST 3000 TO PAY. I HAD NO CHOICE BECAUSE IT WAS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND IM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH 2 KIDS. READING OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND ONLY A RECALL FOR 2011-2013 ONLY?? HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AS OF YET? I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO GM ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS UNTIL THE LAST SECOND WHEN MY CAR PRETTY MUCH STOPPED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.
