Consumer Description

CAR HAS FAILED EMISSION TESTING FOR 2 CONSECUTIVE YEARS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. AFTER DRIVING FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR I TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN 2018 AND EXPLAINED THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF PERSISTENTLY. THEY TESTED EMISSIONS AND SAID IT PASSED. AGAIN IN 2019 IT FAILED EMISSIONS AGAIN AND THE DEALER PROVIDED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH INDICATED THAT TIME CHAINS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR $3900.00. IN SHORT PROBLEMS HAVE EXISTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS. THIS COMPLAINT IS CORRECT FROM PREVIOUS FILING NUMBER:11174923
