Description of the problem | Today i was driving to work, as i pulled into the driveway of work ticking noise started and then car died right on a hill blocking travel, it would not restart, so i had it towed to my mechanic who advised engine blown do to timing belt wear... All my oil was sucked into engine (just had an oil change 2 mths ago) and blew the motor! This is a known problem with this year, make, model of buick, why is no one doing anything about a recall! I can't afford a new engine, nor a new car, i just purchased this used at hurd buick in rhode island 5/2017 explained needed dependable car, i'm a single parent working full time and they gave me a lemon knowing full well the engine problems with this midel! Nhtsa needs to make gm accountable to the consumer of 2010 models like they did with the 2008-2009 models this is so unfair. I had to rent a car to get back and forth to work... I don't know what or how i'm getting around next week! |
