I sent a message to Jessica (GM customer rep) requesting that the dealer's DMA (District Manager Advisor??) contact me and explain how he came to this decision. I am hopeful that he will call back and I can explain the sequence of events to him. I can only hope that perhaps he doesn't have a piece of information and that is why he decided not to cover. |

Totally bogus man....there is an issue with the LLT engine and GM knows it. I can't believe they aren't covering it, or at the very least willing to pay for a good portion of the costs. There are numerous cases of this happening on this site and pretty much every time GM has covered it, even on the modded cars.
Best of luck.

It is unbelievable for sure. That was the annoying thing during my phone call with GM. They did not even bring that up an offer to cover partial costs as an option. It was as simple as "...it will not be covered under warranty...The decision by GM is final..". Granted I understand that their job must be tough listening to people getting frustrated every day but I found the "finality" of make it very hard to hold my tongue.

Why are these engines using so much oil, and how many revisions are they on with the timing chains? I have 162,000 miles and never had the oil use that others have. With that said, I just checked the oil level and after about 1500 miles it used 3/4 of a quart of oil.

Better watch that closely. Keep us posted. Ruby has never used a drop of oil either but this stuff worries me.

Have you spoken with an attorney yet? Sounds like it's time.

I would make copies of all the posts here that had engine failures, send 1 copy to your service rep, 1 copy to GM and another copy to an attorney even if you have not yet hired the attorney. Put all the Cc's on the letterhead so that each person knows someone else has a copy.

Another LLT engine blown up....
I would keep fighting this as I am sure you are. I had a 2011 RS 2LT and at 9k I had the same issue with #2 and #3 and at about 20k it was the same issue but worse. The first time they were able to replace the parts and clean it up and the second time they replaced the motor. Based on my conversation with the service manager, it was as if the engine wasn't getting oil. Lucky for me I changed my oil at the dealership as required so they had all my records. They were dumbfounded by the issues they saw especially for the second time.
There are several others with the same story so it's definitely a known issue.

Honestly this is the shit that pisses me off. Theres soo many known cases on Camaro5 alone about this issue. Pathetic
Hope you get this resolved man, if not try to contact some automotive blogs and people to bring the issue up. Theres a reason why GM suddenly switched to the LFX If I didnt love the camaro soo much, I wouldve sold it. Most unreliable car I have ever owned. More brittle than the 30 year old cars that drive next to it. This will be my last GM car. I have said it time and time before, and continued to buy thinking it would be different this time, totally wrong. And the worst part is majority of the people I speak to who have owned many cars agree. You get the odd few strong GM cars, the rest have problems, and some re down right lemons.
