Consumer Description

I DROVE OUT FROM CAR WASH I WAS GOING ABOUT 35MPH THEN I TURNED RIGHT ON TO THE FREEWAY SOON AS I REACHED 50MPH MY VEHICLE MADE A WEIRD NOISE AND SHUT OFF AS IM ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON WHATSOEVER ALTHOUGH I GOT A "GAS CAP" MESSAGE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREE WAY(NO ACCIDENT, THANKFULLY) THE BREAKS WERE HARD TO PUSH DOWN I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LET IT ROLL THROUGH TRAFFIC I GOT TO A SAFE PLACE I PUT IT IN PARK WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO TRY STARTING IT, IT WOULD NOT START. SMOKE CAME OUT FROM BACK PASSENGER REAR TIRE. LET MY CAR SIT OVER NIGHT TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT MORNING, AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED IT INTO SHOP THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM I HAD LEFT MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK OTHER MECHANICS DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. LATER THEY TOLD ME I NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. I ONLY GOT TO DRIVE IT 2X BEFORE IT STALLED. I REALLY LIKE IT AND WISH I CAN GET IT FIXED I DO BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE POWER TRAIN, FUEL PROPULSION, AND ENGINE. *TR
