Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER AND THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED. THE CAR WOULDN'T GO OVER 10 MPH. CAR WAS TOWED TO A SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT AN ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THEY INFORMED ME OF A OIL PUMP BOLT COMING LOOSE AND THE ENGINE JUMPED TIME. THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE ON THESE ENGINES.
