Consumer Description

THE TIMING GEAR AND BELT/CHAIN COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED AT 36000 MILES DUE TO MISSING TEETH ON THE GEAR, WHICH WAS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE BELT/CHAIN. NOW AT 103000 IT APPEARS WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT WE WERE UNABLE TO CATCH THE PROBLEM IN TIME BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE OCCURRED. ENGINE WON'T START DUE TO THE BROKEN/DEFECTIVE PARTS. *AK
