So we just payed off our car and the problems started, first the car wouldn't go in reverse it acted as it was in neutral then it started doing in when driving so we took it in and they said we need a new transmission after that the a/c stopped working and we started getting a loud ticking noise so we took it in again to the dealership this time they tell us the timing chain needs to be replaced , a seal for the transmission is leaking also, we have done alot of research online and have seen this has been happening to alot of people if the timing chain breaks it can seize the whole motor! I paid roughly 22k for the car it has less then 70k miles and they want around 9k for the repairs there has to something done about this they should not get away with ripping people off.
