I'm the original owner of a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu LT that has been very well maintained and has never been in an accident. At 109,500 miles the check engine light came on. I took the car into my local mechanic and they told me the timing tensioner and timing chain/belt need to be replaced. The cost is approximately $2900. I'm so frustrated since I've taken such good care of this car and had all maintenance done as required. It still runs just fine but it won't pass the state inspection with the check engine light on. I assume at some point, the engine will just stop running.
