Cts timing chain bad - engine codes p0008 & p0017 coming up - was told by Cadillac of las vegas that there was a service bulletin related to this issue, but for some reason, my VIN was not included.

We ask for any and all assistance in this matter. A quick scan of the internet shows a large number of gm vehicle owners with vehicles that were included in the TSB that were being denied service. If a company makes a claim, it shouldn't be done as a pr gesture with no action behind it. They should be made to live up to their words and back the quality of the vehicles that they have sold.

01/07/16,my wife and my son of 3 years were driving a 2009 Cts with 77k. All of a sudden the vehicle stops and won¿t move. No warning signs,nothing! as she tried to put the vehicle in gear she heard a whining noise. The car would not move.

The spline on the transmission stripped out because of rust and I believe poor workmanship. The vehicle just went out of warranty two months ago. It will cost me aprox. $4000. To repair.

I purchased a Cadillac Cts and the timing chain is out. The engine light came on and I brought the vehicle to an authorized dealer and was told that this was out. I have googled this model and have found others to have had the same problem. Why haven't someone held this company responsible for placing a know fault part into their vehical. I will never purchase another Cadillac and I will inform my circle of friends about the service and lack of care. This was my second Cadillac and my last.

While driving I heard a loud noise from under the hood and the service engine soon light came on. Once able to stop I called onstar and asked them to give me a diagnostic. I was told that it was an engine error and to take in for service. I took the car to the dealer first thing the next morning. Was told my timing chain needed to be replaced. My car has less than 28,000 miles. Called gm/Cadillac was told that while there was a recall (#10287) for prematuring timing chain wear for certain 2009 Cts mine was not one of them.
