Consumer Description
THE CAR HAD A "TICKING" SOUND FOR 3 WEEKS. THE SOUND STARTS WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND DOES NOT GO AWAY. LAST WEEK THE CAR ABRUPTLY STOP AND SHUT OFF. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE CAR IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING SO I LEFT IT GO AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. THEY SAY THE CAR IS CRAP..THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND PART OF THE PISTON BROKE OFF AND FLEW INTO THE MOTOR, DAMAGING IT. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPEN. NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS NOT WORTH REPAIRING AND NO ONE WANTS IT FOR A TRADE IN NOR WILL THE LOAN GO AWAY. THESE CARS SHOULD BE PULLED OFF THE MARKET.
