Consumer Description

I WAS GETTING OFF OF THE INTERSTATE, APPROACHING A STOP SIGN ON THE OFF RAMP, AND MY CAR SHUT OFF. I CRANKED IT BACK UP AND IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A MECHANIC. IT BEGAN MAKING A NOISE (ONLY WHEN I FIRST PRESSED ON THE GAS). THE MECHANIC DROVE IT AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND QUICKLY DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BOTTOM END OF MY MOTOR.
