Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO AND I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I HAD TO CUT ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO SAFELY MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT MY TIMING BELT HAD SNAPPED, CAUSING INTERNAL DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE AND CAUSING MY CAR TO BREAK DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF CRUISING ON THE HIGHWAY. *JS
