I have had this 2011 arcadia for less then a month. The dealer I bought it from assured me that the only issue it had was it needed a new a/c condenser. ( permanent codes, p0008, p0332, p0017 ) (pending codes p0161, p0332, p0017 ) ( stored codes, p0332, p0008 ) severe urgency replace timing chains and related components, t chain x1 t chain x1 t chain x2 timing tensioner x1 x1 x1 x1. I havent even been able to drive it and the sold me the car on false pretenses. They wont help me with fixing it, they wont even fix the a/c condenser. Im going through a divorce and I put the only money I had into this car. I dont know what to do.
