Consumer Description

SO I TOOK MY FR-S TO GET A RECALL BACK IN DECEMBER AND FOLLOWING THAT MY CAR HAD RATTLING NOISES AND AN OIL LEAKAGE THAT THE DEALERSHIP COVERED. AFTER A MONTH THEY GAVE ME MY CAR BACK AND IT SOUNDED FINE. HOWEVER, I CONTINUED HEARING THAT RATTLE NOISE JUST SOFTER, BUT TWO MONTHS LATER THE FOLLOWING OCCURRED TO ME. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AN ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. AFTER I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY I PULLED OVER AND PLENTY MORE LIGHTS IN THE HEADGEAR TURNED ON AND I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND AFTERWARDS IT WOULD NOT TURN ON COMPLETELY AND MADE A RATTLING NOISE. I HAD TO TOW MY CAR BACK HOME.
