i have a 2008 equinox and my engine light hase come on . i took it to the dealer and they told me it was my timing chain.they also said unless i produce recipts for all the oil changes i did , which i did every six months while i owned the car, that the manufacture wouldnt warranty the repair. i was told the oil was dirty when i took it in and they proceded to tell me if they took cover off and there was sludge inside or on the timing chain that car was not coverd and it was my fault . ive never heard of such crap in my life. i bought the car used in 2009 and only had 2 years, i cant controll what someone else does . what do i do if they give me a run around. what are my legal rights. does sludge really cause timing chain to go bad . at this point i feel like the service department is doing everything and any thing to get out of paying for the repair . i thought once you have approval to repair the car its a done deal, fix the car and its a done deal. service is telling me if they see sludge its not covered and ill have to pay out of my pocket. help please . dave
