Description of the problem	Vehicle failed to start. Had vehicle towed to garage who stated that it was a problem with timing chain and should be covered under warranty. Had vehicle re-towed to dealership who stated that it was a bad timing chain and that it was not covered under warranty. This is not a belt, but a chain. The timing chain should be covered under the powertrain warranty. It's a necessary part for the powertrain to function properly. At the very least, the power train warranty should have covered this. Ten days to repair - $1200 out of pocket because it is not an easy replacement.
