| Description of the problem | I was driving out of my neighborhood as usual when my car suddenly lost power going uphill at 25 mph. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership a week later and they said the engine had to be replaced because of a timing chain failure. At first i thought it might have been a strange incident since there weren't many other jukes with the mileage i had on mine. I was barely 2 years into my car loan and already had to dish out $7k for a new engine. I opted out of having the car repaired so last year and had to buy another car for work. I had a 4 year loan on the car and half of that period the car will have been the car sitting dead in the garage. *js |
