Consumer Description

MY CAR SEIZED ON ROUTE 3 IN PA ON MY WAY TO TAKE DAUGHTER TO SEE SURGEON ON HER FIRST TRIP ALLOWED TO BE SITTING IN A CAR TO GET HER STAPLES REMOVED AFTER MAJOR BACK SURGERY. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND WITHIN 2 SECONDS THE CAR SHRUGGED TWICE AND DIED. WITH NO WARNING BESIDE THE 2 SECOND INTERVAL OF THE OIL LIGHT I LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITIES TO GET MY CAR SAFELY OFF ROADWAY. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY SCARY BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST DAY SHE WAS ALLOWED TO SIT IN A CAR AND ONLY TO SEE HER SURGEON. I AM TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT MY TIMING CHAIN IS BAD AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE, THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MY DODGE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANYONE ELSE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH TIMING CHAINS AT ALL. MY CAR IS UNDRIVABLE, USELESS, CRUSHING BLOW FOR A SINGLE PARENT OF 3 KIDS. *TR
