2007 Cadillac CTS Engine problems

Timing chain has been loosened and possibly ready to break. Service bulletin #11340c was issued and gm/cadillac never contacted me for the special coverage repair. They are now refusing to assist me. While driving vehicle there was burning rubber smell and car hesitated, failed to accelerate while driving on a busy county road in danville indiana

Vehicle was stationary in our home garage. It would not start, it would start when jumped but died shortly after. We had the battery tested, it was bad, we replaced w a new battery. Car started right up, but would not cut power once the key was removed from the ignition. Car dings and dash and radio are on as if keys are still in the ignition.

Mine is the timing chain slips caused from wrong valve cover gasket and the life on the oil

The car is running like it is stuck in some kind of safety mode. It does not want to accelerate unless it starts accelerating in third gear. It does not come out of 3rd gear at all.

I think that this vehicle needs to be inspected to see if it actually does need to be listed under those recalls. It is not just this one specific vin...
