all records since 1996 proved this car was under proper care by the dealer

but, it looks like something went wrong, the dealer changed the timing belts at 3k mi, and 65k mi; under warranty..... not sure if that was a recall or something.....

wonder if anyone ever had the similar issue

ive never heard of an issue with the TB. but consider yourself lucky that it has a fresh one on it. and my stock clutch went over 110k, and i drove it hard.
