Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON A SLOPE AT AROUND 55MPH WHEN THE CAR QUIT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED STARTING THE CAR IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER SO HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE WAS LOCKED UP SO NOW THE CAR IS STILL SITTING IN MY YARD SINCE OCTOBER OF 2019 SO I DO A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FIND OUT THAT THE 2.4 ENGINE HAS HAD ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS BUT UNFORTUNATELY MINE ISN'T ON THE RECALL LIST. THE MILEAGE I THINK IS AROUND 130,000
