Consumer Description

IT STARTED WITH THE CAR NOT GOING OVER 40 MPH THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AND THEN IT WOULD BE OK. I DIDN'T GET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY WARNING SIGNS, SO I DROVE IT LIKE THAT FOR 5 MONTHS UNTIL THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND IT WON'T GO OVER 20 MPH. STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN WAS OUT ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR COST WAS OVER $8000. A 12 YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 114,000 MILES IS HEADED TO THE JUNK YARD. I WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR AND TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF IT BUT SAD TO SEE IT GO SO SOON.
