Engine Locked up - Timing Chain?

[SXAPeel]

Well, after 152k the engine has died. Just lost all power with no bells and whistles, no codes, no smoke - nothing. Even though all maintenance has been performed by local (30607) Cadillac dealer (with XLR mechanic) - SXAPeel is dead. Diagnosis - timing chain broke. Now that this has happened - does the Forum think there is even a remote possibility that I can get the Regional Service Manager to consider replacing the engine of the (previous) Cadillac Flagship, the XLR? I here that she may be in the area soon - should I write her a letter before she arrives or request a face-to-face? ANY extra input will help as I formulate a letter. OR - should I just chalk it up to a very nice car with a dead engine. I'm wide open so no flaming here please.

Unfortunately with your mileage your chances are slim to none. BUT it doesn't hurt to ask. Sometimes Cadillac and the dealer will kick in some funds and chalk it up to customer goodwill.

GOOD LUCK!!
