At red light,my car cut out. wouldn't turn over. had it towed and my mechanic said it was timing chains, which affected engine. checked 8 of 16 valves that were bent, along w/8 rocker arms cracked and torn off. $4000 to fix this issue, money i do not have. mechanic said gm knows about these issues and refuses to do a recall on this issue that has been going on for ten plus years.
