Consumer Description

WHEN I START MY CAR WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE FROM COLD THERE IS A EXTREMELY LOUD RATTLE KNOCK NOISE IN THE ENGINE. EVEN IF I WAIT FOR IT TO WARM UP WHILE I AM DRIVING THERE IS STILL A LOUD ENGINE NOISE THAT IT MAKE IT SHOULD LIKE IF IT IS A DIESEL ENGINE. AND AFTERWARDS THE ENGINE STALLS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT LOOSES ITS RPM WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO DIE OUT ON THE ROAD WHILE I AM DRIVING IT.
