| Description of the problem | Driving down the road engine revved down, pulled over immediately called tow truck. Took into dealership they said the timing chain had broke and engine was no good. Replacing motor due to still having a warranty on it. Hoping this does not happen with the replacement engine. I have noticed on forums that has happened to numerous others wondering why no recall has been issued. Oil changes were all on time and plugs and wires changed at recommended time. This should not happen an engine with 105000 miles. |
