Consumer Description

DRIVING TO WORK I HEARD A CLANKING NOISE. I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT AND WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE STANDING BY THE LIGHT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING DRAGGING UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE. I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND ONCE THE CAR WAS PARKED GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT IT WAS. A METAL TUBE WAS DANGLING FROM MY UNDERCARRIAGE. I WENT AND GOT A COWORKER TO HELP ME. HE PULLED IT OUT AND TOLD ME IT WAS PART OF TRANSMISSION; IT WAS THE METAL TRANSMISSION FILL TUBE. HE LOOKED UNDER MY TRUNK AND POINTED OUT THAT IT SNAPPED AND BROKE OFF. *TR
