Consumer Description

THE CAR STARTED MAKING A NOISE, TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE & THEY SAID IT WAS THE BELT TIGHTENER. THE CAR WAS HAVING A HARD TIME DRIVING UP HILLS ON THE WAY HOME AFTER GETTING THE PART. IT ACTUALLY STALLED OUT AT A RED LIGHT, MAKING IT VERY HARD TO BREAK. AFTER GETTING IT HOME & REPLACING THE PART THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. WE WERE GOING TO GO BACK TO AUTO ZONE TO SEE WHY & WHILE DRIVING ON THE WAY THERE A VALVE CAME SHOOTING THROUGH THE ENGINE. IT WAS QUITE ALARMING SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN WENT OFF. WE PICKED UP THE BROKEN VALVE, PARTS OF IT LOOKED MELTED, & TOWED THE CAR HOME MAKING SURE NO CARS HIT US WE PUSHED THE CAR OFF THE RD. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON A HWY WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD & 11YR OLD.
