Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2004 CHEVY AVEO. SUDDENLY I NOTICED THAT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THAT I HAD LOST PRESSURE IN MY BRAKES. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. IT WAS VERY BUSY TRAFFIC AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. MY ENGINE WOULD NO LONGER START. AFTER HAVING MY CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC I DISCOVERED MY TIMING BELT/CHAIN HAD BROKEN AND DAMAGED MY ENGINE AND THAT IT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. CAR ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES. *TR
