Back in 2015 between July 23-july 30 my 2010 Camaro ls started having misfires and a check engine light. This was back when I had just finished putting brand new spark plugs and ignition coils on my car at around 60,000 since it was idling rough. I was working for a local Gm car dealer at the time and I found the applicable technical service bulletin since I was a Gm 4th year apprentice the bulletin stated that on my engine they were known to have pourus cylinder heads which would cause the spark plugs and ignition coils to misfire due to the heads being pourus and leaking oil into the spark plug tubes.
I got the car from the dealer where I worked with 58,000. I noticed this issue when I was changing my spark plugs and ignition coils of oil inside the spark plug tubes.
So I called and booked an appointment with SMP Saskatoon and went to get my car looked at.
I even took three copies of the technical service bulletin for the issue that my car was having and I also emailed all the pictures I took of my spark plug tubes on my cylinder head for bank one of my engine to there service advisors that I was dealing with.
I only had three days of my powertrain warranty left when this started happening and it wasn t doing it before near the end of the 5 year or 160,000km powertrain warranty was up.
So after all this SMP SASKATOON DENIED ME WARRANTY AND SAID TO MY FACE THAT THERE WASNT ANYHING WRONG WITH MY CAR NOT TO MENTION THEY DENTED THE DOOR OF MY CAR SICNE THEY OARKED IT BESIDE WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION GUYS WERE DOING CONSTRUSTION IN THE BACK WITH A WHEEL BARREL.
Besides the dents in my door that s all they fixed.
I change my engine oil with full synthetic 5w30 engine oil since I know these engines are prone to timing chains and currently I m still on my original set of timing chains.
I take super good care of my car and have a blast driving it.
On multiple occasions since I was denied warranty I still get a check engine light for misfire codes on the exact same cylinders in my engine.
Not even 28,000 on July 5, 2018 I get a check engine light for misfires again on the same cylinders as before but now also on cylinders 2,4,&6 on bank 2 of my engine as well as the cylinders from before on bank 1 since the heads are still pourus and leaking oil.
Due to this issue I went only 28,000 on brand new ignition coils and spark plugs.
And instead of having only one cylinder head being Pourus and oil loeaking I to my spark plug tubes I now have two cylinders heads with the same pourus issue on cylinder 1, 2, 3, 4
The only cylinders that are fine are cylinders 5 & 6
Also since this issue has been happening I m burning oil and I m also having to add about 2l of oil before each oil change and due to that my cylinders are very spot covered on my cat back exhaust.
There is no reason that this should be happening at all and should have been properly looked at when my car was there instead of them saying that there was nothing wrong.
So my options are go to another Camaro authorized dealer or I put a brand new engine in that has a 3 year warranty on it.
From what I experienced I wouldn t recommend getting work done at SMP service Saskatoon.
The only people there that have helped me lots and treated me with respect are there parts department as my family has known Steve and the guys for many many years.
Other than that SMP HAS LOST MY BUSINESS FOR GOOD.
How do you explain the dam oil in the spark plug tubes then these were taken and emailed to you and i gave you a copy of the gm technical service bulletin and was still told that nothing was wrong now both my cylinder heads are in the same condition on cylinders 1, 3, 2, 4
How to do you explain where the oil is coming from. Since this wasn t looked at i have went through 18 ignition coils before i even hit 80,000km because the oil is wrecking the could and causing misfires.
