I have the 2010 camaro v6, with only 67,700 miles. like too many others, the check engine light came on and it gave a p0008 error code for premature timing chain wear. why hasn't gm issued a recall for the camaro with this engine when they've issued a recall for nearly all other vehicles with this engine?!? i should not be facing an estimate of over $2,000 to replace the timing chain with only 67,200 miles!
Had new timing chain added with oil change engine locked up. insurance won't, help. place i bought the car won't help
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while driving 60 mph, the engine seized and the vehicle failed to restart. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the timing gear needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. a dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 106,000.
The timing chain needed to be replaced at only 100,000 miles. garage stated that it was so bad that engine could have failed and ignited a flame in the engine.
I was driving home one day and the car no longer wanted to go so i slowly and carefully rolled down a hill and went into the parking lot the car no longer wanted to start i thought it was the battery or the alternator so i changed both i even checked my oil to make sure i was good on that end i ended up getting the car towed back to the house the mechanic checked it out and no codes were popping up the car was stationary and ran but i tried to go down the street and it just stopped then the area around made some strange noises and the mechanic said it might be the engine i then took it the shop and i was told it's the engine i just didnt not know what the issue was it's a 2010 camaro 6 cylinder with a 3.6 llt engine and many people have had issues with it but i don't know if chevy ever did anything about it it was on a city street when it stopped its just been sitting since it went bad and the 2012 and up models engine cost ...

While driving my 2010 chevy camaro ss on the interstate home from work all of a sudden i lost power all my interior lights and dashboard warning lights started to flash on and off car would surge then lose power than surge lose power steering was very difficult had no brakes merged over to the shoulder to try to get into a safe position and was calling nine-one-one when i noticed smoke coming out of the left front compartment of the camaro under the hood and then the smoke turn to a rust burnt looking color and then noticed that the hood was starting to banned from the heat underneath it and at this time i tried to get out of the vehicle but the electrical system was burnt and had to use a pair of pliers to open up the door lock because my interior door locks would not function got out of the car called nine-one-one and within 5 minutes there was flames coming up from underneath the hood the hood kind of popped open and flames took over the whole front of the car and the engine compartment fire truck of course got the fire out but ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while the contact was driving on a major highway, there was a drastic reduction in speed without warning. the vehicle was taken to deacon jones chevrolet (1115a n brightleaf blvd, smithfield, nc 27577, (919) 934-8101) where it was diagnosed that the timing chain needed to be replaced and the vehicle was out of warranty. the contact was uncertain if the failure was related to the manufacturer service campaign: 12-06-01-009e apr 14 (engine - timing chain kits and chain guide replacement). the vehicle was not repaired and was parked at the contac'ts residence due to the failure. the manufacturer was notified and did not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
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.
I have the v6 2010 camaro and like many others that i have researched on the web have the p0008 error code for premature timing chain wear that started at around 80k miles. there has been a recall issued on just about every other car that has this engine in it. it is ridiculous that gm would not issue it on this car as well full on knowing that this would have the same problem.
Vehicle has had a code of p008 intermittently then permanently since 68000 miles, it is now at 99,500 miles. the code relates to timing chain stretching which is causing engine misfire. same problem with identical engine has been addressed in form of warranty extension for several vehicles, including cadillac cts, extending warranty to 10 years or 120k miles. this has not been done for the camaro for reasons which elude me. occasional problems with stalling and reduced power (especially in situations requiring the additional power), as well as engine "roughness" certainly cause safety concerns for me. in addition, the problem with the passenger safety bag seat pad sensor has been ongoing and is also not recalled, although the system keeps passenger airbag off in the presence of a passenger due to a short in the pad, also well-documented and clearly a safety hazard. the interior lighting system is simply a nuisance and not a safety concern at this time. the cost of repairs is staggering, and i've never seen an instance where a timing chain needed to be replaced during the expected operating period of a vehicle with normal use. clearly it is a design flaw which needs to ...
Vehicle overheating resulting in shutdown - i've taken the vehicle into 2 gm dealerships who first replaced the water pump and flushed the system after the vehicle stranded me in the middle of a highway intersection. when i came to a stop i heard the fans startup and the temperature rose to 250f+ in about 30 seconds and initiated an engine shutoff procedure, which cuts off all power to the car. at that point i was dead in an intersection of a very busy highway. this happens without warning and does not initiate a event to the car's computer. the gm dealer said they consider an overheating event a notice and not a warning event so it is not recorded on the cars computer even though it causes the car to be shutdown. this has occurred 2 times in the 6 months and i have replaced the water pump, radiator pressure cap, flushed the system all on advice from the gm dealer to correct for this problem without success. the second time this occurred was driving on a highway and the vehicle lost power as i got to a border checkpoint resulting in me being stranded on the highway for ...
P0008 timing chain code coming up for v6 engine (2lt model) at 70k miles. reading several forums and researching that this is a known issue on other gms with the same part. while they granted 10 year/120k warranty for other models, the camaro is left out. cost is anywhere from $1800-$3000. not sure why camaros are not being included within the recall when we have to same parts and issues. please assist!!!
Engine light is on, several codes, three of which have a technical service bulletin. codes are p0007, p0008, p0017. technical service bulletin number is 374076. vehicle has loss of power. do not want to drive for fear of throwing off the timing since all of these involves positioning sensors for the camshaft and crank shaft.
