Car had excessive oil consumption problem and then yesterday timing chain tensioner broke. Engine got noisy and quit with oil consumption problem. Best fix is to replace with a newer engine which runs $1900-4000 depending on mileage. Definitely not something I expected from a car that's been well taken care of and only 140,000 miles. GM has failed its customers with these engines and should replace every one of them FOR FREE considering these engines should run 250,000+ miles when maintained.
