Description of the problem | My wife's gmc acadia shut down while driving down expressway and lost all power and threw a cel. The diagnosis from the dealer mechanics was a stretched timing chain. I was told this is common and a scheduled maintenance part but nowhere in my manual does it state this. Also i contacted gm corporate to see if i could get help it being a safety issue for the shut down and was told it was out of warranty and there was nothing they could do. My vehicle has approximately 149,000 miles now i have to pay over $2000 to fix a known issue but the real problem was the unexpected shutdown and loss of control in the middle of rush hour traffic in a rain storm. Fortunately my wife's quick thinking got her to safety but could have been much worse if she would have lost power in the middle of a busy intersection or an on ramp she could have been severely injured. I would like to see these problems resolved. |
