My car wouldn’t start, later found out it was due to timing chain issue which ended up blowing up my engine. I live 40 minutes from work and am consistently driving on the interstate for at least an hour a day. GM said there’s nothing they can do even though there’s been class action lawsuits for the engine. My car has also had oil consumption problems. I bought my car in March of 2022. The engine blew up by November 2022. I barely got my car back in September 2023. After the engine replacement, still wouldn’t turn on, over heated immediately when I did get it back. After paying $7440 for the engine replacement I had to fork over snother $650 to replace the fuel pump control module, and an engine control unit. My car overheated AGAIN just 2 weeks ago!!!!

I purchased the vehicle in march 2018. From the date of purchase, the service engine and/or change oil lights would turn on. Every time I took the vehicle to my mechanic, it needed oil. In january 2020, I got a notice from gmc about the settlement of a lawsuit regarding vehicle oil consumption. I took the vehicle to my local gmc and the manager read the "notice of approval of class action settlement and claim form" that was sent to me. The lawsuit requires gmc to pay for repairs or reimburse customers for the repairs. My vehicle had not had the necessary repairs done to it, so the manager instructed me to approve the necessary repairs and pay for them out of pocket because gmc would reimburse me. The repairs were completed on february 7, 2020. I followed all the guidelines provided to me by gmc in order to get the reimbursement. I mailed documents to them a week after the repairs were completed, months before the deadline of may 16, 2020. After waiting over a month and not getting reimbursed, I called gmc customer services (1‑866‑790‑5600) on april 11, 2020. I was informed by gmc customer service to expect a reimbursement check for repairs and rental car fees within two weeks. After not receiving the reimbursement, I called again in june and july 2020 and given the same information-wait. This continued throughout the summer. The delay was blamed on covid-19. I called again in late september 2020, and they instructed me to email all the documents and that the check would arrive in two weeks. On september 30, 2020, I emailed all the documents to gmc. After waiting another two weeks, I called them and they again said it would come in two weeks. On november 10, 2020, I sent another email asking for the reimbursement check. A week later, I got a letter stating I did not qualify for reimbursement because the time had passed/expired.
