Description of the problem	Check engine light: timing chains stretched. Check engine light came on. I took the vehicle to the local dealership where i have service performed. The service representative informed me this was a stretched timing chain issue - a common issue with gmc acadias. I was informed that if/when it "breaks", i can lose power to the vehicle while driving. I asked another repair center for a second opinion and while informing the service technician of having a timing chain problem on my vehicle (without providing make/model of vehicle), the service technician guessed that i had a gmc acadia as this was a common problem with them. I checked my warranties as i currently have 103,000 miles. None of my active warranties cover it. I called gmc directly and was informed by the customer service representative that they are aware this is an issue but it has not reached a level to which gmc will extend any type of special coverage for vehicles when this fails. Since this is an extremely expensive fix, i am stuck with deciding if i should go in debt fixing a 6 year old vehicle or risking it and driving it until it fails, potentially leaving myself at risk for an accident. This is ridiculous that it is a common issue that was addressed in 2007 and 2009 models but hasn't been addressed yet for the 2010 model.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
