Also, the performance of the vehicle was not affected. I thought that if it was a bad chain, the code would come on and stay on. I was uncomfortable with his conclusion as the code had come and gone a few times. It was obvious to me that he did not have time to check the sensors and had assumed the chain was bad.

I took the Enclave to the local Buick dealer and within a very short time he quoted me $2,600 to replace the timing chain. I have had a bad crank position sensor replaced in the past on another GM vehicle and assumed this was again a bad sensor. And.GM/Cadillac is not any help AT ALL! They know the majority of 2010s are lemons, but will do nothing about it.Last Winter the P0017 code showed for a few days and then went off for a few weeks before coming on and off again. I can't get rid of it right now, so I have to fix it in increments. I'm tired of dumping $$$$$$$ on this piece of crap. I'm not spending that money ($1600-2000) until I get the camshaft/crankshaft issue solved. I have also been told that my now reoccurring P0299 code (after I replaced the entire turbo system dropping around $5k) that my catalytic converter is the problem now. Takes 2 revolutions cranking to actually start the car at any point in the day, and runs rough. Try to accelerate, but jerks and lunges (sp?), in and out of passing gear, with RPM way too high. It is very sluggish, losing speed on slightest incline. I have the camshaft position sensor and waiting on the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve to have them both replaced at the same time. Research tells me that it is camshaft to crankshaft position problem. Same problem here.2010 SRX 2.8 turbo.timing chains replaced, entire turbo system replaced, now getting P0017 & P0008. Has anyone resolved this code without timing chains being replaced? I know people say the bad chains ended in '10, but maybe I am still in danger? I did a little tease arch, and my build date was 7/09. Anyone know a good shop or trustworthy dealership in San Antonio?

Has anyone done the timing chain? I would be very interested in doing it myself. Wouldn't both the intake and exhaust cams on bank 1 be off? Same thing if it was the crank sensor, they would all be out of sync? The thing I do not understand is how could just one cam be off if it's a stretched timing chain. It also just set codes yesterday for both banks running rich (I think P0172 and P0175 but don't quote me on this). The car has developed a pretty rough shake at idle. Measured resistance across the bank 1 exhaust cam solenoid to make sure it was working properly. P0017 bank 1 exhaust cam out of alignment with crank. This week I started getting one of the dreaded codes. Hey guys, first post the forum and its a doozy.
