Was out Chrismas shopping and during the day I started noticing a rattling sound that got progressively worse. I stopped at an AutoZone and asked a tech if he could come listen to it. He came out heard the engine and he thought a rod or cylinder might be damaged. I took it to my mechanic Monday morning they listen and test drive it. They tell the timing chain appears to be malfunctioning and coming lose. They say I have three options: 1st option keep driving it but the chain will probably come lose and shred everything. 2nd option they could open the engine up and repair the chain assembly but it might not hold and the repairs would be expensive due to labor. As much as a replacing the engine. 3rd option Replace the engine. I chose the third option (replace engine) $3363. It sucked that is right around Christmas, and it sucked that it was 700 miles just past the expiration of my extended warranty. This was my fourth American car in 20 years and the most expensive repair.
