Consumer Description

THE SEAL AROUND THE TIMING CHAIN WAS LEAKING RIGHT FROM THE FIRST DAY WE BOUGHT THE CAR. THE CAMSHAFT WAS ALSO PITTED AND REPLACED. IT WAS FIXED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON OUR 2009 BUICK ENCLAVE. IT LEAKED A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE.
