GM would rather spend 3 times as much as the car costs to fix, rather than issue you a new one, or buy it back. All the while you wait around paying for a car, you do not have the ability to use, and they don't issue rentals often. |

THought hard about the lemon thing, I will wait to see what they say today. Car is supposed to be ready. Mechanics are definately not mechanics anymore. Just part changers. Dealer is good though. Free loaner everytime. I know the issues are not there fault, and they are left to deal with what GM dumps on the market and the people who buy. With the rebates, incetives and GMS cert I used from a freinds father, I did get what I, and most felt was a deal of a lifetime. But whatever price this is upsetting. Any other insights would be greatly appreciated. I will post what the findings were as soon as I know. I did specify in writing to the service manager, general manager and the service rep that I want to see the parts that came off. |

Bad news is that there is a/will be a demand for the new chains. We have been waiting for 5 weeks and still no promise. The dealer gave us a 2008 DTS to drive. Since car will not run, Battery/Seat problems still unresolved.
Anyone else with this problem?
Gas mileage dropped for 19 avg to 16.8 avg and had lack of power.
I just got back from dealer who now has the new redesigned chains for my SRX. His parts contact at GM said first order out of vendor was for 200 + and GM had provided wrong replacement PN. So the new chains had been available all along if you request the right PN. LOL.
He expects GM may issue a recall? |

Ok this is what I know.
04-05 First Design
all roller chains. Crank gear has rubber molded onto it. The rubber falls off.
Second Design
the lower/ primary chain switched to a Inverted Tooth and the upper chains same as first design
06-07 Third Design
• Timing chains are identical to second design.
• The camshaft position actuator sensors are a new design.
• The camshaft position actuators incorporate new sensor wheels that correspond with the new design of camshaft position actuator sensors.
Fourth Design
• New secondary timing drive chains, inverted tooth (IT) design.
• The camshaft position actuators incorporate new sprockets that correspond with the use of IT chains on the secondary timing drive system.
• The intake camshaft position actuators are different for the left and right sides.
• The left and right secondary timing drive guides are new due to the use of IT chains on the secondary timing drive system.
• The intermediate timing drive sprockets are new due to the use of IT chains on the secondary timing drive system.
• New intake camshafts.
• New fourth design IT primary timing drive chain.
• New fourth design IT crankshaft sprocket.
• Fourth design IT primary chain is not interchangeable with second and third design.
The problem is with the fourth Desing only the first ???. The chains were not hardened. They strech a lot. A whole lot. Not that big of a fix. It does not take to much time to do.
