The engine light went on and it was brought in for service. I was told the code p0008 meant that it had a stretched timing chain which would need to be replaced and is a very expensive repair. I recently found out that this is very common in other chevy engines and the power train warrantee was extended to cover these repairs in other engines, but not my camaro. I currently only have 73k miles and would like to see…

The vehicle displayed a trouble code on the dash. I took it in to get a reading for the code and it appears to be a p0008 error code. After searching, it seems this code is relating to the timing chains within the engine becoming stretched. It also seems that a lot of owners are seeing this error with their own vehicles and dealer is charging anywhere from 2 to 3k to get the issue resolved. To quote another…

Car will not go into first or reverse. Shifts fine in other gears and when car turned off. Took to dealer who said clutch was worn at 50,000 miles because i was too hard on it? I don't race, hot rod etc, that's why i bought a v6 manual for durability. Am only owner only driver. This is not my first manual transmission vehicle and to have a clutch go bad at 50,000 miles is pre-mature and unacceptable and costing…
