I was sold a vehicle without being informed that approximately 8,000 miles prior the vehicle had major engine issues, as the timing chains had to be replaced. the vehicle was sold with a warranty that the warranty company and dealership fail to comply with. i have contacted the dealership numerous times about various issues the vehicle has had since the first day of taking it off the lot, yet the dealer refuses to correct any issues. while i was driving home from work on route 65 in mid january, the vehicle begin to violently jerk and buck, while loosing speed. i pulled the vehicle over and turned it off, while still on the highway. i let the vehicle sit, having to the vehicle towed to be diagnosed. once the vehicle was diagnosed, i found that the vehicle would need a new engine. after getting a second opinion, i found that the timing chains were probably the issue. i began to conduct research on the vehicle itself and found that the timing chains were changed at 97k. now i am stuck with paying on a defective unsafe vehicle.
The paint on the rear of the vehicle has chipped off. i expect the rear to start rusting. i can't trade my car in, due to the fact the paint is peeling. the vehicle is no longer worth anything. *tr
