![]() It would be reflected on your page if you have it. There is an extended warranty on the timing/balance chains for many of the 4 cyl Terrains and Equinoxes that you could check up to see if it applied to yours. If that is the case in your area, then that is $3,500+ in labor and fluids/parts! Ouch! Can you say Stealership! I did a quick search on and used motors, 6 cyl or 4 cyl, are running about $1,400 around me for a low mileage example. Wow, all I can say is that is a lot for an engine replacement. This SSG J sign out, and looking forward to hearing your feedback. I also hope you will cover your customers six like my buddies have covered my six. I asked this question because if this happened to me, where my timing chain broke and ruined my engine, I am sure it will happen to someone else who owns any of your GMC brand vehicles with timing chains. I also hope someone from our GMC company may read this post on this forum. I would also like to know if anyone else timing chain has broken and caused so much damage to your engine that you had to have your engine replaced. I would like to hear from anyone in our forum regarding my situation. I have also spoken to my dealership's service manager, who said he would talk to GM to see if they could help. I have taken my car back to my dealership for the engine replacement. I put it all in a bag, shook it up, and now I am moving forward. My first thought was that my dealership, where I purchased my car and referred a few of my friends too, which one of my friends did purchase a vehicle from my dealership, didn't give a crap about me as a customer. Before the tow truck driver left, we opened my car's hood, and to my dismay, we found that whoever last worked on my vehicle just tossed everything under my hood oil cap, sparkplugs, screws, and engine parts. So my vehicle was towed to my house and dropped off. So I told them I would have my car towed back to my home until I could come up with a way to pay for the repairs. The prices I received were $5200.00 for a new engine and $4900.00 for a used engine. ![]() The service department did do that and gave cost estimates verbally for my engine replacement. So I said thanks to the gentleman who sold me my car and suggested that I ask the service department if they could check around to see if they could find a replacement engine at a cheaper cost. So I take it in stride since I am a soldier, and we're supposed to overcome and adapt to adversities. I was told there is nothing we can do for you. I took my warranty to my dealership and the gentleman who sold me the car. ![]() I said to myself, let me check my contract since I got an extended warranty at the cost of $2295.00, and it turned out to be useless since it only covered me for 75000 miles and expires 02 /04/2018. Now here is my dilemma I currently owe $19,000.00 on my vehicle and my mileage is currently at 126000 thousand due to my travels to and from the east coast. Joseph, your engine sustained damage from the broken timing chain, and your engine will have to be replaced at a cost of $9800.00. I then got a nightmare call from the service department, Mr. So I am happy and looking forward to getting my vehicle back. I was told you are good to go for pickup, and it will cost you about $1490.00 for the repairs. I returned to my dealership the day before my repairs were supposed to be completed to confirm that my car would be ready for pick up the next day. After the service department diagnosed my engine, I was told it would cost around $1490.00 to repair it, so I rented a car and waited for them to complete the repairs. I took my Terrain to the dealership I purchased it from for repairs. I have a 2012 terrain with a broken timing chain. Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any issues with their GMC Terrain timing chain.
