problem #2

Malibu 2.4L Eco Tec

  • Automatic transmission
  • 78,150 miles

GM says because I’m over ( just barely by a couple months) my warranty has ended. I bought this car from my dad keep in garage service was done to the letter. I drove it for 2 months and timing chain eat thru tensioners and engine. GM said tough luck my response was GM has been making engines for a 100 years and you’re telling me that the new 2.4l eco tec only last for 78k miles? It sits at dealer still waiting to get GM to put new timing chain kit in and replace any parts needed to get it running no more then $1,900 based on their price of parts.

While driving the engine cuts out, and once brakes are applied it restarts on own. Check engine light is on and power steering is not working (because of no power)
