Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND SHUT OFF. WITHIN THE NEXT MINUTE THE COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON AND SHUT OFF AND THEN THE CAR SEIZED RIGHT THERE ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT START SO WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. ONCE THE SHOP LOOKED AT IT THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE TENSIONER HAD BROKE AND THE SERPENTINE BELT HAD MELTED. WE ARE NOW LOOKING AT HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. *TR
