NHTSA Complaint #11355122 — 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

THE TIMING CHAIN JUMPED ON MY EQUINOX CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE VALVES ARE BENT AND IT NEEDS A NEW GASKET BECAUSE OF THIS. IT WILL COST $4500 TO REPAIR. $6700 FOR A NEW ENGINE. I OWE MONEY ON MY VEHICLE. THE TIMING CHAIN HAS JUMPED BEFORE, THE DAY AFTER I PURCHASED IT IN 2015 (EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN CERTIFIED) AND WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AS WELL AS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTIONING, PREVENTING ME FROM STARTING THE VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD ISSUES. I AM PUTTING TODAY'S DATE AS THIS IS WHEN I RECEIVED THE NEWS OF THE COST OF REPAIR. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN SHE QUIT WORKING ON ME. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE ENGINES. I WANT MY LOAN COVERED OR A REPAIR. I AM HEARING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MODEL AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.
