“Check engine light continues to come on. Had it tested and I needed to replace the camshaft and the crankshaft sensors. Did that drove it for a week or two and the light came back on tested it again and got the same reading concerning bank 1 camshaft and crankshaft sensor. Was told it could be the timing chain causing this problem and that this vehicle is known for the timing chain issue. Was told that there may be more than one camshaft but the reading still comes up the same in bank 1. Is this normal for this vehicle and is it under some kind of warranty.
