Consumer Description

I HAD CRANKSHAFT AND BEARINGS REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER DUE TO FAILURE, WHICH I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM. I WAS CRUISING AT 55-60 MPH ON HIGHWAY IN 5TH GEAR WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RATTLE, AND THEN SUDDENLY DIED. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, AND HAD TO CALL DEALERSHIP TO ASK ABOUT VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE I DROVE THE VEHICLE TOO HARD AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. *JB
