Consumer Description

UPON WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE TO GREEN, I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND WITHIN SECONDS, I HEARD A LOW BOOM AND THEN THE ENGINE POWER CUT OUT. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AT THAT POINT WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO START THE CAR. I WAS AT THAT POINT, FORCED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE CAMSHAFT TIMING CHAIN HAD SNAPPED.
