Consumer Description
TODAY I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I STOPPED AT THE GROCERY STORE AND I FINISHED THERE AND I WAS MAKING MY WAY HOME. I GOT ABOUT 3 OR SO MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME AND I NOTICED MY OIL LIGHT WAS ON. SO I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE OIL AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I DIDN'T SEE A NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED THOUGHT IT WAS TELLING ME IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I PROCEEDED ONE AND I GOT ABOUT A MILE OR SO FROM MY HOUSE I'M AT A STOP LIGHT AND NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALONG WITH MY OIL LIGHT. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST DIED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED. THEY HAD LOOKED AT IT AND FOUND THAT THE ENGINE HAD NO OIL PRESSURE AND THE ENGINE WAS SHOT. I NEEDED A NEW ONE. I STILL OWE MORE THAN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS.
