Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE CAR LOST POWER AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON, LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE BUSY HIGHWAY WITHOUT CAUSING A MAJOR PILE UP. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE! THE GARAGE CHECKED EVERYTHING, ALL FLUID LEVELS WERE NORMAL, THE GUY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO "EXPLAINABLE" REASON WHY THIS OCCURRED. A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THIS MY TIMING BELT WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES (TO THE TUNE OF $800) AND IT HAD JUST HAD ONE OF THE BIG CHECK UPS. THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO MY OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAD THIS CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES, THE OIL WAS ALWAYS FINE (AND ALWAYS MAINTAINED EVERY 3000 MILES). THE GARAGE AT THAT TIME COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE OIL LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND FOR LACK OF ANYTHING ELSE SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A SHORT IN THE LIGHT. MY CAR IS ONLY A 2001 AND NOW IS IN NEED OF A $6000 ENGINE! *NM
