There's no such thing as timing chain issues or oil consumption on the GM 3.6. It's all propaganda...

Now that that's out of the way call the dealer with your vin and they should confrim extended coverage for timing chain failure.

So then yes they still have timing chain issues with this year?

I think the 2008 MY was the last year with timing chain issues I believe. In any case, as long as you keep the oil level up and change it every 5K-6K miles or so, timing chain issues are rare. I have 80K miles on my 2008 w/o issue. BadCad just has a thing with V6's
I have owned mine for seven years and it has been the best car I have ever owned. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I have a 2010 1SC V6 with 50k. No problems with mine. Just keep the oil level checked. Yes BadCad has a thing with the V6.

I say why roll the dice on a V6 when the V8 is so much stronger of an engine?

Oh badcad, you just melted my heart! Here's a big hug!!
Now, that wasn't so hard to say was it?
(Oh, it must really be springtime!)

All year 3.6s have a propensity for timing chain failure. In any case, as long as you keep the oil level up and change it every 5K-6K miles or so, timing chain issues are less common but still possible. I have 80K miles on my 2008 w/o issue. BadCad is brutally honest when it comes to the 3.6 faults. I have owned mine for seven years and it has been the best car I have ever owned. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
