Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SOUNDED LIKE I RAN OVER A LARGE PIECE OF DEBRIS AND THE CAR JOLTED. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AND SAFELY PULLED OVER. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON BUT THERE WAS NO TURNOVER. LOOKED AT IT AND THERE WAS OIL MIXED WITH METAL SHARDS AND A CRACK IN THE ENGINE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN. LET THE MANUFACTURER KNOW BUT THEY DID NOTHING TO HELP.
