Good morning, Sajeev!
I have a 2007 Suzuki XL7, 180,000 km,Â*which apparently needs its timing chain replaced.Â* (The engine light is on, giving a P0008 code, and the dealer and another independent garage has both told me the code means a timing chain replacement, giving me a repair estimate of $2500-3500.)Â* I have since spoken to four other 2007 XL7 owners, and all have had the same issue.Â* Fortunately, they were able to get the chain replaced while the car was still under warranty - not true in my case. Thus, I am thinking since it seems to be such a widespread problem, that it is a design flaw (they have sliders that wear out, instead of pulleys that turn)Â*- surely there should be no reason to repair cam chains/tensioners in a normal-design vehicle that has been given regular maintenance? Have you heard of this issue before?Â* I am wondering if there is a class action suit against Suzuki around this issue. Thanks, Cathy |

This is a very common issue with the GM 3.6L V6. There is actually a picture of the timing chain setup in my article today: https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/201...lt-salvage-car
