Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEIR WAS A TRACTOR TRAILER TRAVELING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. I PRECEDED TO PASS IT ON A TWO LANE ROAD. AS I PASSED THE TRACTOR TRAILER MY NOW FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE, SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY. MY VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 100000 MILES ON IT AND HAD RAN GREAT UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERSHIP. THEY LET ME KNOW THAT MY LIFTERS AND CAM WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN WHICH WAS A $4000 JOB!
