Consumer Description

ON OCTOBER 31, 2003 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY INTREPID ON THE FREEWAY NEAR CANTON, MICHIGAN. UPON PRESSING THE ACCELORATOR THE ENGINE HESITATED, THEN THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON FOR ONE SECOND JUST BEFORE SHE HEARD A POPPING SOUND. THEN SHE LOST ALL POWER. SHE COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE THE CAR VERY WELL AT ALL. SHE WAS GOING 65 MILES PER HOUR AND NEARLY GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SHE GOT THE CAR ONTO THE SHOULDER BUT COULD NOT START THE ENGINE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE WAS SEIZED AND IT WOULD COST $5,000 TO $6500 TO REPAIR. IT HAS BEEN ONLY 3000 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE.
