Engine Belts And Pulleys Problems of Chevrolet Camaro

Earlier in 2018, the car was intermittently throwing a p008 code and check engine light with no noticeable difference in the mileage or running. It would come on, then go off for weeks. Oil was changed every 3-5000 miles. Now the light is on and will not go off, showing only the same code of p008. I can not pass yearly state emission inspections with the check engine light on. The local gm shop indicated that the code means that I need a new timing chain. I have the 3. 6 liter motor with 92000 miles. For other gm models with this issue and the 3. 6 l motor, gm extended their warranty and covered the cost of replacing the timing belt, but they excluded the Camaro. I have received estimated costs of 1200 to 2100 to replace the timing chain. This cost is more money than I have, but I may not have a choice. I do not want to be on the road when the timing chain breaks and I am in the middle of interstate traffic.

We where driving looking at a local subdivision and we were doing 35 miles a hour when we hit a deer all air bags came out and I broke my wrist and my friend hurt his arm as well I was in the passenger side with my set belt on and when we hit the deer the air bag came out full force that I broke my wind shield as well.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the timing belt was stretched and needed replacement. The contact was also notified by the dealer that the failure was a common occurrence. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

Engine check light came on and I took the car to pine belt chevy in lakewood, NJ. Engine code p0008 & p0017 for camshaft position correlation on 3. 6 v6 engine. Vehicle diagnosed as needing timing chains. Car only has 52,721 miles on it. Estimated cost to repair $3,000. Research indicates that gm has a recall on many different makes and models for timing chain failure with the 3. 6 v 6 engine with the same timing chain part numbers. Gm has extended the warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles on the affected makes and models on all vehicles except the Camaro. Gm bulliten 10287. Gm needs to step up and include the Camaro to its timing chain recall.

This car is only driven in the summer months. On occasion I take it out when the weather is nice and there isn't any snow just to wash it and run it because it stays parked in the winter. While I was out,the check engine light came on so I took it to the dealership to find out it needs a timing chain already and it will cost between 800. 00-1,000. 00 to fix. Of course it's not covered under the 5 year/ 100,000 mile warranty because I purchased it brand new in 2009 which is over the 5 years but still under the mileage. I did my research on it and this is a wide spread well known problem with the timing belt on these engines but gm has done nothing to fix the problem and the consumers are dishing out more money. This is something gm needs to address!.

The check engine light was intermittent. I have onstar. Onstar said it was a camshaft positioning sensor. I waited and the light was still off a long time, but came on and onstar said it was camshaft sensor again and another code p008. I finally went to the dealer and they said it was a bad timing belt and that my warranty was now up. They would not help, I called gm and they denied a problem with the engines. But offered a 20 % discount if I used a chevy dealer. I have seen many articles online about bad timing chains in the v6 engines. I don't think I should pay for a known defect. I bought the car new in 2009. Thank you.

Trying to park at low speed there is a rubbing sound of plastic and light metal. There was fluid on top of the resovior!dealer cleaned it twice and it comes back. They claim the rubbing and scraping metal behind the air bag is fime. They even called gm,general motors says its all fine!you can hear a wobble and whistle from under the hood while accelerating slightly and turning steering wheel. There is also a severe wobble from the pulleys and engine is vibrating like crazy!there is also a rattling metal sound when you start the cat that seems to be coming from the fuel tank!the dealer burlington Chevrolet says that I just dont know how the Camaro is. I bought two other geration fives. One from them!never in for nothing but maintnance. It was a great car!I also had a 2012 Camaro rs 45th anniversary and traded it with 21,000 miles and except for abrake leak at the resovior that took about 5 times to fix that car was awesome. Once they fixed it I drove over a year with nothing but maintnance. I only traded it due to severe unibody damage!.
