Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME MY CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED OR WHAT WAS WRONG, IT JUST STOPPED WITH NO WARNING, RIGHT BEFORE IT STOPPED IT MADE A NOISE UNFAMILIAR TO ME BUT IT SOUNDED AS IF THE BRAKES HAD FALLEN OFF OR SOMETHING. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED AT MY OWN COST. I FOUND A MECHANIC THAT WOULD COME OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT BECAUSE I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE. APPARENTLY MY TIMING CHAIN WAS TO LOOSE AND KEPT HITTING SOMETHING ELSE AND OVER TIME THE CHAIN BROKE AND WHAT IT WAS HITTING WAS DAMAGED SO I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH AND BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAD TO BE DROPPED TO GET TO REPLACE, IT COST ME $1800.00 OUT MY POCKET ALSO THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE RACK AND PINION WILL HAVE TO BE DONE ALSO. IF THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST. THANKS. *TR
