Consumer Description

PURCHASED CAR W/50,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE ALREADY HAD WATER PUMP REPLACED AND NOW WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 40 MPH THE TIMING BELT BROKE AND BLEW PARTS INTO THE ENGINE, SO IT PRETTY MUCH NEEDS A NEW ENGINE ALREADY NOW 25,000 MILES AFTER WE BOUGHT IT. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIMING BELT/CHAIN ON THESE 2010 MODELS. SEEMS ODD TO ME.
