Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME THEN STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THAT'S WHEN I FELT MY CAR TO LOSE POWER AND START TO DECELERATE. ONCE IT STOPPED IT SHUT OFF , AND ALL OF MY LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD WAS ON. THE BATTERY LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, EPS LIGHT. I WENT TO OPEN THE HOOD AND IT SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF WAITING THE ENGINE STILL WASN'T TURNING OVER. I LEFT MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.
