Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 2010 Buick Enclave

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!.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Buick Enclave. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed of a fault code for the engine control module (p0008). The contact was also informed that the timing belt was also a factor in the failure. The vehicle was taken to rick hendrick Buick GMC (3244 commerce Ave NW, duluth, GA 30096, (770) 954-8718); however, the mechanic and service department were very evasive. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

I was driving straight on the highway when the engine light came on, the engine started to run very rough, and very shortly thereafter (about one mile) the engine died. The car had to be towed to a mechanic where they found a broken timing chain that caused severe damage to the cylinder head, valves, and camshaft caps and sensors. While it was in for service they did correct recall 14187 front safety belt anchor however they charged me for replacing the rear lift-gate struts which should have been covered by recall 15240. Reimbursement request attached. While researching recalls I came across 10287 - customer satisfaction program addressing problems with the timing chain in several gm vehicles. This turned out to be a very costly repair because of the damage done by the chain whipping around in the engine compartment. It could have been avoided if a recall had been in place. Although our vehicle is a 2010 we only just purchased it this past may. Do we have any recourse? can we expect any compensation?.
