Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR QUIT RUNNING. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. I HAVEN'T HAD THIS CAR A YEAR YET AND THIS HAPPENS. IT'S NOT RIGHT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES. FROM SEVERAL MECHANICS I HAVE TALKED TO SAID THEY ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET.
