Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS A LOUD KNOCKING AND SHUTTERING NOISE LIKE MY WHOLE ENGINE IS GOING TO DROP ONTO THE FREEWAY. I GET TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT IT IN PARK. AS I TRY TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE ENGINE/MOTOR STARTS SHAKING YET AGAIN WITH A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND WONT TURN OVER. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED. MY CHILDREN WERE EXTREMELY SCARED AND BEING ON THE FREEWAY THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT MULTIPLE TIMES.
