Description of the problem	In 2017@75,477 miles my car lost power on the highway, could not get it to go over 40mph. Drove to dealer & turned out to be timing chain which is a known issue in my type of car. Dealer repaired car at warranty price, even though my warranty had run out & took 40% off since i had been such a great customer. They had some kind of incentive money available. Fast forward to april 2019 @ 95,000 mikes, car is losing power again on highway especially when merging, must floor gas pedal to get car to go, engine light on intermittently at first, but now on permanently, timing chain code (p0008) comes up & dealer says it will be an estimated cost of $2500 to repair, must pull engine again. Timing chain repair from 2017 only under warranty for 1 year or 12,000. I went 2 years & 20,000 since repair. Dealer only willing to discount repair needed now @ 25%. This is a known issue with my car especially the 2008, 2009 & 2010 models. There are tons of on-line complaints about timing chains in my type car & there should have been some type of recall on the timing chains/belts in these cars. It is a known problem. Not safe when driving on highway & problem can occur at any time without warning. You lose power & can get stuck in middle of nowhere. Unsafe!
