Description of the problem | I was driving and the car just stopped .. If i was driving any faster or if there was a car behind me i would have been killed!!!! Result was the timing belt. The car only had 52000 miles. I contacted chevy and all they could offer me was a loyalty discount on a new car... Which i probably would be entitled to anyway .. I just found a letter from gm indicated that the required replacement of the timing belt was at 60k miles... Well my car didn't make it to 60k ..... So they know that there is a problem and continue to deny it!! *js |
