The 2012 Chevy Equinox timing chain is guaranteed for 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty has several conditions that could potentially invalidate it or exclude repairs from coverage. The initial step is to bring the vehicle to the dealership for a thorough evaluation of the damage and required repairs. Documentation proving that regular maintenance, such as oil changes and transmission checks, has been performed on the vehicle must be provided. Known problems related to the timing chain include increased oil usage that can lead to the chain making noises, overheating, and ultimately warping or stretching.

How can I have this taken care of through the dealership?
My car has recently started to feel a bit shaky after 10 years even though the dealer is trying to avoid taking responsibility. It only has 80,000 miles on it and hasn't been used much until this year.
