Hello. My vehicle has experienced two severely elongated timing chains in 30,000 miles of driving. Total miles on the vehicle are 114,000, and the vehicle is a 2011. I have been advised that if the timing chain fails during driving, it will cause an engine stall, and may potentially cause seizure of the transmission and wheels, causing a severe safety hazard.
