Friend just had the timing chain go on his ~ 7 year old Chrysler LHS at
125,000 miles. That's a timing chain, not a belt. His daughter was driving it at the time on a 2-lane road passing another car with on-coming traffic up ahead. Thing just broke and killed all power.Fortunately the guy she was passing noted a problem and eased up to let her back in the right lane.
These things are supposed to last 200,000 miles.
Another friend at work says he'd never buy a "Crappler". I usually argue with him about Chrysler quality not being THAT bad, but after this, that's going to be hard to make a case for.
