Anyone else have this issue when it was brand new? Should I be worried it's something really bad?
I don't think it will throw a code for a bad timing chain, there's nothing that reads the position of the chain afaik. The assumption would be a VVT pulley not returning to the proper position. Depending on the code it could be crank sensor, cam sensor, oil control valve, bad cam gear or a myriad of things.
