Consumer Description

VALVE SPRING RECALL - HAD THE VALVE SPRING RECALL PERFORMED AND ROUGHLY 10K MILES LATER MY CAR HAS STALLED AND WHEN WON'T STAY RUNNING WHEN YOU TRY TO START AND IF YOU DO GET IT RUNNING THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKY NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VALVE TAP. I WAS DRIVING AND COMING OFF THE OFF RAMP AND THE CAR JUST DIED ON ME. I ROLLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD.
