I was driving and it it lost power when I started it it did a terrible noise like clicking. Mechanic looked at it and showed me the timing chain is 3 links loose. It was slipping and missing. My children were in the vehicle when this happened. Consumer stated car died it jumped back, jerked hard like it was in reverse then restarted it and got it to the house.

There have been so many things wrong with car since we bought brand new in 2010 from the complete fuel system replaced to 3 entire brakes replaced, to transmission slipping, to tracktion stilbility control lights failing, to power steering pump , to faulty control box issues, replacement of window shield wiper motor, air conditioning/heating module. Most of this under warranity or not covered still at all in first 4 years of owning this car. Its literally a pile of junk. So many safety issues that gm wont list as a recall. People have been killed but still fail do anything. The dealer ship here in waldorf md, to conceal what they did lately to my car in damaging the front shocks and struts wouldnt even get on the phone with a conference call with me instead refused to talk to me and also ban me from the dealership which leads to more suspicion that they are hiding the truth that they did something to damage my car. This is the only dealer in town too. This isn't the first complaint. Dont buy this car. Nothing but problems, a lemon.

Timing chain is out of sync. Mechanic states that error codes are causing the the check engine light to illuminate that are based around skipping/slipping timing chain. States that timing chain must be repaired. If timing chain fails to work correctly, engine could seize cause the vehicle fail unexpectedly.

Transmission seems like it slips when going from reverse to drive.
