Consumer Description

AT ROUGHLY 7500 MILES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK OUT. FOUND OUT THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD JUMPED, OR STRETCHED, RESULTING IN POOR IDLE AND A $2700 ESTIMATE TO REPAIR. LOOKED IF OTHER PEOPLE HAD THIS ISSUE. TIMING CHAIN SHOULD LAST 2-3 TIMES LONGER. SINCE I'M OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD I AM OUT OF LUCK. TIMING CHAIN SHOULD LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE ENGINE NOT TO FAIL AROUND 75000 AND I CHECKED THE OTHER COMPLAINT AND IT LOOKED LIKE ALOT OF OTHER 05 TO 06 OWNERS HAS THE SAME ISSUE . *TR
