Consumer Description

WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER STOPPING TO GET GAS. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD SHATTERED SENDING SLIVERS OF METAL THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE CAUSING COMPRESSION PROBLEM, DAMAGING PISTONS, AND CAUSING WATER PUMP TO SEIZE UP. NEEDLESS TO SAY I'M NOW LOOKING TO BUY ENGINE FOR A CAR THAT I'VE HAD FOR UNDER 24MONTHS AND STILL HAVE 36+MONTHS TO GO ON MY NOTE WITH THE ENGINE ONLY HAVING 65K. NOTE THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BACK DID BREAK AND I'VE HAD TO HAVE SPEED SENSOR REPLACE ALL OF THIS WITHIN THE LAST 17 MONTHS.*JB
