Consumer Description

LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE TIMING BELT AREA. SOUNDS LIKE A FAULTY PULLEY OR THE BELT RUBBING ON SOMETHING. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE TIMING BELT IDLER PULLEY. BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP I TOLD THEM I STILL HEAR THE SAME SOUND JUST QUIETER. THEY TOLD ME IF IT GETS LOUDER TO COME BACK. THAT WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT HAS GOTTEN LOUDER SINCE. MY CONCERN IS CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF SEVERE ENGINE FAILURE OCCURRED AT SPEED. *TR
