Consumer Description

DRIVING CAR TO WORK AND DIED AS I WAS GOING THROUGH AN 4 WAY INTERSECTION, CAR WAS IN MOTION WITH MULTIPLE VEHICLES AROUND ME. I HAD TO GET OUT AND PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AND OFF THE ROAD. TRIED TO START WITH NO SUCCESS. CAR WAS LOW ON FUEL SO SUSPECTED IT TO BE EMPTY. CALLED INSURANCE TO SEND SOMEONE WITH GAS BUT STILL WOULDN'T START. GOT THE CAR TOWED HOME AND INVESTIGATED FAULT. FOUND THE CHAIN TENSIONER TO HAVE FAILED CAUSING TIMING OF ENGINE TO CHANGE AND CAUSE PISTON TO HIT VALVES AND BREAK THE ROCKER ARMS.
