Consumer Description

I WENT TO START MY 2002 PONTIAC GRAND AM AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER, JUST A VERY HIGH SPEED SPINNING NOISE. THE DAY PRIOR THERE HAD BEEN A RATTLE DURING START UP. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY CHECKED IT AND THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKEN. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE, AND AS A RESULT THERE WAS VALVE AND CYLINDER DAMAGE. THEY HAD TO REBUILD THE ENGINE ALMOST COMPLETELY AS A RESULT. THIS WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 85,000 KM. *TR
