Consumer Description

LESS THAN 60,000 MILES AND IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER WAS REDUCED. CAR IDLES VERY ROUGH, AND SOMEWHAT LOUD. I LIKEN IT TO A SCHOOL BUS. LUCKILY I WAS LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM HOME AND DID ARRIVE SAFELY. CAR WAS LOOKED AT BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS AND BOTH HAVE THE SAME DIAGNOSIS: TIMING BELT/CHAIN JUMPED AND NOW NEEDS A NEW ENGINE.
