Consumer Description

THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND IT SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AND RESTART ON ITS OWN. I REPLACED THE ENGINE OUT OF MY POCKETS AND NOW I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. FIRST BEFORE REPLACING THE ENGINE THE SERPENTINE BELT BROKE AND I HAD THE REPAIRED, ABOUT SIX MONTH LATER A BOLT BROKE INSIDE THE ENGINE AND THAT IS WHEN I REPLACED THE ENGINE. I JUST GOT THE CAR BACK THREE WEEKS AGO AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING.
