Consumer Description

ON THURSDAY DECEMBER 30, 2010 I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. GOT IT TO MY MECHANICS AND AS WE WERE PUTTING IT ON THE LIFT THERE WAS A BIG BANG AND THEN THE TICKING BECAME MORE OF A HAMMERING NOISE. WE REMOVED THE MOTOR ON THURSDAY JANUARY 6, 2011 TO FIND THAT THE #7 CYLINDER CONNECTING ROD HAD BROKE AND GONE THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. THROUGH SOME USER FORUMS ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING USUALLY BETWEEN 90 - 100,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 98,000 MILES ON IT. ORDERED A NEW MOTOR ON FRIDAY JANUARY 7,2011. I AM JUST GLAD THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH DURING MY NORMAL DAILY ROUTINE. *LN
