Consumer Description

I HAVE 1999 FORD EXPLORER-I LOVE MY CAR BUT-LAST YEAR I REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING CHAIN COVER. DUE TO THE FACT THAT TEFLON COVER SOMEHOW BROKE AND WE BEING EATEN BY THE ACTUAL TIMING CHAIN..MY WARRANTY EXPIED IN AUGUST OF 07. WELL AROUND THE 10TH OF SEPTEMBER, MY CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING! WHY DO THEY GET BROKEN SO FAST AND EASILY? AND WHY IS THERE ONLY A 1 YEAR WARRANTY..ARE THERE ANY RECALLS OR NOTICES TO THE PUBLIC, SHOULD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM? ALSO ARE THERE ANY WAYS TO GET HELP FIXING THIS? IT COST ME OVER $2000.00 LAST TIME AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO SPEND LIKE THAT EVERY YEAR!!!PLEASE HELP. *TR
