Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO JUMPED TIMING 3 DAYS AFTER WE HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP AND A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER IT HAD JUMPED TIMING AGAIN SO NOW I HAVE TO COME UP WITH 800 TO TEAR DOWN THE MOTOR SO THEY CAN PROPERLY DIAGNOSE IT. SO I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THAT SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT I AM PAYING FOR AND CANNOT DRIVE. IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AS WE SPEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE WHEN IT HAPPENED. BOTH TIMES. THE DATES IT HAPPENED WERE 1/5/2018 WITH 137000 MILES ON IT AND THE OTHER DATE WAS 2/5/2019 AND IT HAS 152045 MILES ON IT.
