Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING APPROXIMATELY 70-75 MPH IN MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T (AUTO TRANSMISSION). THE CYLINDERS DEACTIVATED FROM 8 TO 4 AND THEN I HEARD A LOUD RATTLING NOISE AND MY CAR LOST POWER. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE CAR ROLLED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN. I GOT THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. MY CAR ONLY HAD 78,000 MILES SO A BROKEN TIMING CHAIN SEEMS UNUSUAL. MY MAINTENANCE HAS BE VERY GOOD ON THIS CAR AND NOTHING INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING CHAIN PRIOR TO MY CAR BREAKING DOWN. *TR
