Takata recall for the timing chains. My family and I was on our way to chicago when I heard a knocking noise. I pulled over to the side and had my car towed to the dealership. They advised me that the timing chain was the issue and was a known issue on these cars.
Truck was being driven on the freeway, driver excelerated to pass another vehicle and it acted as though it had run out of gas. It was pushed to the gas station and filled up with gas, then it wouldn't start and eventually the battery died. It was jump started and drove a few miles to the house with a knocking sound. Independent mechanic evaluated it and said the engine is blown. It had regular maintenance, without missing an oil change, all mainteance has always been done on this vehicle since it was bought brand new in June of 2010. There were three safety recalls, one including a gas tank issue, and although several messages were left on the "recall hotline", no return call was ever received. Mechanic says there is metal in the oil but the engine oil is not low. This vehicle is too new to have a blown engine. Help!.
