Description of the problem	Upon attempting to start the engine, the timing chain slipped causing pistons to hit intake valves, wrecking engine. Only 77,000 miles on vehicle. I do not qualify for class action settlement due to filing deadlines but am facing up to $14,000 in repair costs. It is unreasonable for an engine to fail catastrophically at such a low mileage adn there to be no manufacturer liability.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
