Consumer Description

THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, ROAR AND MAKE A VERY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE. I HAD JUST STARTED THE ENGINE AND IT WAS IN MY GARAGE AND STATIONARY. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. LATER THAT DAY, MY HUSBAND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN WITHOUT ISSUE. HE PULLED OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND PROCEEDED LESS THAN 100 YARDS DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE NOISE AND SHAKING STARTED AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO STATED IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE COOLING FAN (CONFIRMED BY DIAGNOSIS AT SAME DEALER) THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
