A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
It was after Christmas and my family was heading home after a family gathering. We stopped at a stop light and the engine began to shake and the check engine light flickered on. I continued driving and it turned off. Thinking the problem was bad gas, I went on about my week. A couple days later the engine shook again with the check engine light flickering on and staying lit. I took it into my trusted repair shop and they said that they believed it was the cam phasers but were not certain. They didn't want to throw parts at it and rather recommended I go to the dealership. I took it to the dealership and sure enough, the cam phasers had gone bad.
