I am, as I write this, waiting to hear how much $$$ damage $$$ there will be to repair a faulty (noisy) timing chain adjuster. I was told that the best case scenario would be $1200 worst being $2400, depending on what they found when they opened the side of the engine...
I bought the Rondo with the 2.4 I4 instead of the V6 mainly because I was told that since the engine has a timing chain, not a belt...that the engine would be virtually bulletproof.
While the local dealerships have all told me that they have never seen this problem before...the engine is a machine...and machines break.
If this has "never happened" before...I'm led to believe that the cause of failure is due to a defect in the part installed in my engine.
More than frustrated...car is off warranty...not sure if there is any recourse for me whatsoever...
Anyone have a magic wand?
