My car was making weird noise under the hood. I have maintained my car very well. Come to find out the timing chain broke and smashed all the valves. The mechanic said because of it being in a plastic mechanism, that's a problem and a bad design on Chevrolet's part. I have seen and heard many other people saying the same happened to them. Why hasn't this been recalled yet?.
