Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The check engine light (mil) came on while driving. I experienced a lack of power and performance. Had it checked at an auto parts store and they said the trouble code was for camshaft/crankshaft positioning sensor. I replaced both camshaft sensors and the crankshaft sensor and reset the code. 400 miles later the light came back on. Took it to a shop and they said the timing chain had stretched and would need replaced to the tune of $2500. They also mentioned changing a problematic bolt on the oil pump, something they said had been an issue with the 3.6 liter v6.”
