Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT 55MPH ON A COUNTY ROAD. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A BANGING NOISE AND I LOST MOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP INTO A OIL CHANGE PLACE. THEY LOOKED AT THE OIL AND IT WAS NEARLY EMPTY. I HAVE ALWAYS CHANGED THE OIL ON TIME AND DONE ALL OTHER MAINTENANCE ON THIS CAR. THERE WAS NO APPARENT OIL LEAK AND NO SIGN OF BURNING OIL. I HAD CHECKED THE OIL ABOUT 300 MILES PRIOR. THE OIL JUST DISAPPEARED AND THE ENGINE THREW A ROD NECESSITATING A NEW ENGINE. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST 5-6K. I HAVE READ OF AT LEAST 21 OTHER PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM; THE OIL JUST DISAPPEARED AND THE ENGINE THROWS A ROD. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THIS ENGINE. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD AND NOT A FREEWAY AND HAD A PLACE TO PULL OVER. *TR
