Consumer Description

DRIVING ON FREEWAY 65 MILES AN HOUR IN THE LEFT LANE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A CAR. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE CAR CONTINUED TO LOSE SPEED. HAD TO MANEUVER MY WAY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FREEWAY CROSSING 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ENGINE BLEW UP AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED THE COST OF REPLACING THE ENGINE WAS MORE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ON A REGULAR BASIS. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THIS MIGHT OCCUR. *TR
