Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME I HEARD A SUDDEN STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM MY CAR. I PULLED OVER AND WALKED AROUND MY VEHICLE TO SEE IF I COULD SEE ANYTHING. WENT TO START MY CAR BACK UP AND IT WOULDN'T START AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GOT OUT POPPED THE HOOD, LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND THERE WAS OIL FROM MY CAR ON THE GROUND. HAD TO CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY TOWED MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP.
