They now want more than $800 for this repair, and have advised me that the timing chains are not going to last, and I should get rid of the car. I have every service record on the vehicle, and all oil changes have been done at the dealer and went not more than 5,000 between changes, even tho dealer told me I did not have to do so frequently. I am being told now that the engine is full of sludge, due to neglect. 2 days after completion, broke down due to low oil pressure, and had to have towed back to dealer. Update from : After getting no where with dealer honoring the 12 mo, 12,000 warranty on the timing chain repair, I paid to repair again for $2300.00. I have had to replace the shifter assembly, due to an electronic switch that failed to allow the key to be removed, and am on my 3 vapor lock Engine Hot sensor.Īny suggestions would be greatly appreciated. HOW IS THIS OK? Has anyone one else had the timing chain issue with their sport? They will not repair mine again, because the parts are the same, and the repair is one temporary. My dealer told me they are repairing these timing chain issues to the tune of 1 a month, and as late as the 2011 model year. This engine was in the 2008-2010 Cadillac and there was a recall on it. They only want to give me a deal on a new car, and not accept responsibility for their poor engineering design. The timing chains are error coding again, the ECM has fried, which has caused a loss of power to several other sensors, and because I was just about 2 WEEKS out of the 1 year warranty on the repair it is not covered. Immediately after the repair, my Catalytic converter went bad, and I paid the deductible for that repair. I paid the deductible of $535, and it was an approx 3 wk repair. The timing chains are on plastic tension rollers, which is a major problem in this engine. I used the original date that the problem became a check engine light.
