Consumer Description

ENGINE SPUTTERED, LURCHED FORWARD, THEN ALMOST DIED REPEATEDLY AT A STOPLIGHT. DROVE CAR HOME AS NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY MECHANIC. MECHANIC ADVISED TO DRIVE CAR TO THE SHOP. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR TO DRIVE THERE, SEVERAL ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON STATING 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' AND A STABILITRACK WARNING. THE CAR THEN DIED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. TOWED THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD MY TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE. 80K MILES ON THE CAR AND MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, SO NOW I'M PUTTING SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO A NEW ENGINE. HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES SIMILAR AT THE SAME MILEAGE.
