Consumer Description

STARTED TO HEAR A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ISSUE WITH THE TIME CHAIN. SO BENT OUT OF SHAPE THAT THE CHAIN ALMOST BROKE. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT ON TOP OF CHANGING MY OIL AND GETTING MY CAR SERVICED EVERYTIME IT NEED IT SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD EVEN HAPPEN. WHEN RESEARCHING MY PROBLEM I SAW THAT ITS EXTREMELY COMMON FOR MODELS SINCE 2007+ TO EXPERIENCE THIS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THERE'S NO REASON FOR A OWNER TO HAVE TO PAY 200-2000 DOLLARS WHEN THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT WITH SERVICING AND OIL CHANGES ETC. IM JUST GLAD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME BECAUSE HAVING YOUR ENGINE BELT BREAK IN A BUSY HIGHWAY DOESN'T SOUND SAFE. *TR
