Consumer Description

TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND VALVES WERE DAMAGED, WHICH (ACCORDING TO MECHANICS) VIRTUALLY IS UNHEARD OF ON SUCH A LATE MODEL CAR. NOT ONLY ARE MECHANICS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM (BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF ENGINE), THEY ARE SAYING I WILL PROBABLY NEED A NEW ENGINE (UPWARDS OF $3500 IN COST). SEVERAL MECHANICS EXPRESSED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM WHO HAVE THE 6 CYLINDER, 2.7 LITER ENGINE ON THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. BASICALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT WORKING ON THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR IS A BIG HEADACHE, AND "THEY WON'T TOUCH IT". WHY HASN'T THIS PROBLEM BEEN RECALLED?
