Consumer Description

THE ENGINE IN MY CAR, A 2001 SATURN SL, SEIZED. THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED, AND HAD ONLY ABOUT 43000 MILES. THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, AND THE ENGINE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE MOVING SLOWLY, AS SOMEBODY MAY HAVE BEEN INJURED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
