The timing chain on my camaro 3.6l was stretched causing the engine to run rough and stall out while driving. The dealership was well aware of the issue based on a service alert from the manufacture. The vehicle had 53000 miles and was repaired at my cost for a know manufacturer defect. Had to get the vehicle repaired for safety because it was unsafe to drive. I believe general motors is issuing recalls for this…

I have a 2011 chevrolet camaro with a 3.6 engine. The timing chains on this motor are known to stretch which messes up the emissions among other things. The same engine is in a saturn, gmc acadia, and some cadillacs. These three vehicles are covered by the recall but the camaro is not even though it is the same engine. It is a very expensive repair and i'm not sure what my next step should be. The car has 80,000…

I have a 2011 chevy camaro with 68k on it, recently the heater core went out and i think it is to soon for the heater core to go out. A recall should be considered for the heater core as the hot fluids from the leak can cause serious accidents. In order to replace the heater core chevy will have to remove the windshield to get to it. I was told it would be $1700 to fix and an additional $400 if the windshield breaks…
