“This is the 4th time the timing chain has broken on my 1994 Cavalier. The third time the chain broke I had to have the rods/pistons replaced because when the chain broke it bent them.”

I can not believe I have to pay for this,when I bought my car it should have been done just like the rest of the cars .I didn't see this problem before or I would have never bought it !
