The problem(s) that I have had or currently have with my vehicle are as follows: 1. Vehicle hesitates 2. Jolts forward 3. Stutters 4. Excessive oil consumption 5. The car has been undrivable since 01/27/20

The car has been to the dealership 4 times for this problem only to have the dealership fix everything but the timing chain now we are not in "warranty" whatever that crap means. So we are responsible for 1400.00 bill on a timing chain for a car that has 77000 miles on it. We have a 2003 with 200000 miles on it and never had to repair all this engine stuff. I think GM is the worst car maker in the world. I am never buying another GM product.
