I have called gm on numerous occasions regarding my engine failing while driving. Stalling in the middle of busy intersections. They opened at least 7 cases involving this same situation and knowing my fear of getting killed when this vehicle just shuts off while driving or just turning a corner or waiting at a stop light!! my heater did not work, my radio will freeze up and is non functioning sometimes. . I'm afraid to drive with my grandchildren. As I write this my engine light came on again after a $1,000 repair of the timing chain. This happened while I was driving home from work at 1:30 in the morning on a country road and a sheriff deputy happened to be patrolling snd helped me by calling a towing service because my SUV would not start. . The deputy even got my manual out to see if he could figure out the problem. . When I called gm I was treated sooo disrespectfully by a girl that was assigned to my cases. . I do have receipts and the cases numbers and dates wrote down when I talked to gm. . I need a safe vehicle and I owe $19,000 still and now it's only worth $6,000. . . I'm a widow and only making ends meet. . This has been a scary struggle. . . Please help!! thank you and god bless. 🙏🏼.

I received a recall letter from GMC about a knocking in the engine which just started happening in my vehicle. The recall does not show up when the dealer checked the VIN number in the computer. But before I could take my car in to be checked my engine died when I arrive at work which is 25 miles from my home. I had it towed to a GMC dearlership and was informed that my timing chain jumped and threw valve timing off causing internal engine failure. . I then had to replace the engine in a 5 year old vehicle, my warranty expired 3/2017 so this was not covered. When I called GMC I was told they may be able to cover some of the cost but since I did not replace the engine with another GMC engine which would have cost more I had to pay out of my pockets for this.
