MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER WAS UNDER RECALL FOR TIMING CHAIN AND CHAIN GUIDE TENSIONER. WE TOOK IT TO A LICENSED GARAGE THAT'S BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR MANY YEARS. THEY SAID THEY ORDERED THE BIGGEST TIMING CHAIN. IT LASTED 6 MONTHS. WE WERE 7 HOURS FROM HOME ON OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY VACATION. WHEN THE CHAIN BROKE WE WERE DRIVING SO THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE GARAGE SAID WE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND AN ENGINE THAT WORKS TO THEIR SATISFACTION. SO, MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YRS OLD AND NOW I DON'T TRUST IT. WHY WAS THERE A RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE? IS THE 3RD TIMING CHAIN GOING TO BRAKE ALSO? I WONDER WHAT'S REALLY WRONG WITH THIS CAR. BAD ENGINEERING?? I WOULD LOVE AN INVESTIGATION TO BE DONE IF POSSIBLE.
