Consumer Description

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD CAME ON...THEN MY VEHICLE SAID REDUCING SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE SHOULDER BEFORE IT TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. I HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK FOR 2 HOURS. IT WAS COLD. I HAD TO TOW IT TO MY HOUSE BECAUSE THE PLACE THAT I PREVIOUSLY WENT TO WAS CLOSED AND I COULDN'T LEAVE THE VEHICLE THERE. SO, IT WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO LACK OF OIL FROM BLOWN REAR MAIN SEAL. SEAL BLOWN OUT DUE TO PCV.
