Consumer Description

THE ENGINE TIME CHAIN IS BAD. IF THE TIME CHAIN FINISHES BRAKING IT WILL KILL OFF ALL THE ENGINE MAKING THE REPAIR OVER $5,000 IT SEEMS LIKE IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE CARS WITH THE 3.6 VVT V6 ENGINE, AS I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE GO THRU THIS ALSO ONLINE MANY PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW UNRELAIBLE THESE CARS ARE ON THAT WAY. I HAVE DIFFERENT QUOTES FROM DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS THE LOWEST BEEN $2,500.
