Consumer Description

THERE WAS A FAULT IN THE ENGINE THAT MADE OIL LEAK ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND FRIED IT. IT STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND MY SON WAS IN THE CAR. THE CAR THEN STARTED SMOKING AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. WHEN I GOT IT LOOKED AT THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS A FAULT IN THE ENGINE AND WAS UNAVOIDABLE AND WAS NOT MY FAULT BUT THE MANUFACTURERS FAULT. HE ALSO SAID THAT HE HAD EIGHT OTHER PEOPLE COME IN WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND THE SAME ENGINE AS MINE.
