AT 70,000 MILES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN. HE NOW HAS MY CAR COMPLETELY TORN APART SO HE CAN FIX THE OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE ISSUE.
BOTH FRONT TURNING INDICATORS ARE BROKEN. THE RIGHT TURNING INDICATOR WAS FIXED BY MY HUSBAND AND QUIT WORKING 2 DAYS AFTER HE GOT IT WORKING. A FEW DAYS LATER THE LEFT TURNING INDICATOR STOPPED WORKING.
CAR SHUTTERS AND BUCKS AT SPEEDS AROUND 39-55 , NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CONTACT CADILLAC WITH NO HELP AT ALL ! THE DEALER I DEALT WITH CLOSED ABRUPTLY WITHOUT NOTICE !
MY TIMING CHAIN FAILED AT 70,000ML, THERE IS A SB-10[phone removed] BULLETIN NO:11340B :DATE:JULY 2012 THAT SHOULD COVER MY VEHICLE FOR FREE TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT. GM DOES NOT WANT TO HONOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ISSUED THIS SB. PLEASE HELP. MY VEHICLE IS MANUFACTURED IN 2009 IN MEXICO (DATE ON DOOR TAG)…
WHILE MOVING, ON A CITY STREET,SMOKE CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE BRAKES NO LONGER FUNCTIONED.
