Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING TO MARTINEZ AND HEARD A SLIGHT CLICKING SOUND BY THE TIME WE EXITED FREEWAY AT MARTINEZ EXIT THE SOUND BECAME VERY LOUD. WHEN WE STOPPED AT LIGHT CAR DIED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. HAD CAR TOWED TO WHEEL WORKS AND THE TOLD US THAT THE ENGINE HAD OIL EVERYWHERE AND NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED A HOLE IN THE BACK PART OF THE ENGINE. MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY OR HOW IT HAPPENED. IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME THAT THERE WAS A MECHANICAL DEFECT IN THE ENGINE. *TR
