Consumer Description

AFTER STOPPING WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO PASS I TURNED TO PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT 5 MPH THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND ENGINE STALLED CAUSING ME TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BLOCKING TRAFFIC. CAR GAVE NO INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL IT JUST STALLED IN THE ROAD. NO NOISES OR ROUGH RUNNING OR ANYTHING! VALVES WERE DESTROYED AND ENGINE IS JUNK. FOUND OUT LATER THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS CAR AND SYSTEM AND MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE INCLUDED MY YEAR CAR I HAVE NOT YET CALLED DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WILL HELP IN ANY WAY! BUT WITH ONLY 80500 MILES ON THIS CAR I AM REALLY UNHAPPY THAT I NOW NEED. *TR
