2 timing chains within 8 months just put the second one in on Saturday and 4 days later the car is making the same noise again. I have spoke to many people about this and they are telling me this is a problem with this motor. The second time the timing chain went I was driving down route 55 in NJ and the car shut off and would not start the first time it went I was in the driveway and would not stay running. I do not have the money to keep putting in this or the funds to get another car I expect when I pit money into the car I don't expect it to start running the way it was when the timing chain went.

Car started rattleing when first starting. Shortly after my check engine light came on and it was running rough all the time then. Brought it to a mechanic and found out it's the timing chain. Super expensive to replace and per. Forums looks like tons of people with the 2006 Srx had this problem as well. Nothing but constant repair bills with this crossover. I feel it is a safety issue as it could break at any time from being loose. I feel this should be recalled and replaced.
