Chain? You didn't say if it broke or it was stretched?
Chains don't usually break, they stretch. If something is causing an overstress condition. It would mean that the tension is too tight or the crankshaft harmonic balancer is defective. Torsional vibration may stress the cam chain.

sounds like you are getting a bad set of gears and chain.you should get at least 100,000 miles on a new chain

What kind of vehicle? & What size engine (I hope that it is not a 2.4L)? What other repairs have been done?
