Consumer Description

THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND NOW YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING. WHEN POPPING YOUR HOOD, YOU FIND THE TWO OF THE THREE BELTS HAVE COME OFF AND THE CAM STABILIZER PULLEY HAS EITHER BROKE OFF AND THE CAR IS NO LONGER RUNNING OR IS WOBBLING AND ABOUT TO DETACH FROM THE ENGINE. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THE PIN HAS BROKE AND THE BOLT HAS BROKE OR IS ABOUT TO BREAK. THIS LAST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED, I WAS 80 MILES AWAY FROM HOME AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD MADE IT HOME WITH MY MOM AND CHILD RIDING PASSENGER IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND WILL END UP CAUSING A WRECK AND POSSIBLY DEATH. *TR
