2011: “I started the car up and started to drive to work about 3 miles into driving the check engine light came on followed by revs with no power or speed gain and the vehicle was giving me around 15mph to the point where I couldn't gain much more speed and had to pull off the road. There was a voluntary service campaign for the timing chain but it has since expired and now I am stuck with the repairs.”
