Aura 3.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 68,000 miles

In 2013 the transmission went out on my car, replaced it at $3500. Then one month later, the timing chain came loose, smacked into my headers and screwed up my engine. I have never had this much problems with a car in my life. Now trying to find a motor to get this thing running is proving to be nearly impossible. Everyone that I have contacted wants to charge me $4500. I called to see if there was a problem with this car motor and transmission and they inform me that this is the first that they have heard of any problems. Seems to me that they are putting cheap parts into these cars and we as the consumer have to pay out the butt to have it fixed. This car is a Lemon, in every sense of the word.

This car sucks. It's a Lemon.

Timing Chain came loose because GM used metal that was too weak, so the chain stretched out and ruined my entire engine. If GM knew about this then we should sue them. Thanks GM. Where's my bail out?

* I've had the car for less than 3 years and 40,000 miles and put in $10,000 worth of repairs. Buy Japanese cars from now on.
