Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER WITH NO WARNING. I AM TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS BROKEN. I NOW NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE - AT A COST CLOSE TO WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. I SEE THAT THE 2001 CARS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL. WHY NOT THE 2000? *TR
