Just as a guess.... considering the one screenshot you showed that it was waiting for an object... what this seems to suggest is an object identification problem... it's not actually clicking on the link because it can't find it. Check your object identification (namemapping) for the link in question and see if it's correct.
To second this, it looks like you're trying to click an exact path to the link which being that data is dynamic will cause issues.
How are you getting the link you are attempting to click? In a scenario like this you would likely want to map the static parent and in then use a Find method to get the child link you are wanting to click on based on the data, search through the table.
Also, just a tip, you appear to be using the same Chrome instance for your tests that you use for personal. I highly recommend setting up a more sterile test environment, either a VM or VDI or something.

Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated!
How are you getting the link you are attempting to click?
This link is created by data that is generated by a vehicles battery. It's a page within a report page...if I'm describing that correctly. I will take your advice and see if I can create my tests on a VM or VDI if I have that option. If I do not have access to a VM or VDI, what do you recommend?
Thanks again!

Sorry, I meant how are finding the link in test complete? Is it mapped, are you using exact path or are you using some kind of find method?
As far as VMs / VDIs go, any really will provide the same benefit. VirtualBox is a great free product to use.

As far as the link I was just doing point and click, haven't tried mapping yet. Still learning the tool and automation.
