Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT SLOW SPEEDS THE ENGINE DIED. THIS RESULTED IN REDUCTION IN STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY OCCURRED THOUGH. ENGINE WOULD CRANK, BUT NOT SPARK PLUGS WOULD NOT FIRE, SO CAR COULD NOT BE STARTED AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE CURB TO GET IT OUT OF TRAFFIC. CAR WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT TIMING DETECTOR AND REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM. OLD PART WAS DISPOSED. *TR
