Consumer Description

THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CONNECTING ROD BROKE AND FAILED ON THE NUMBER ONE PISTON. PIECES OF METAL CAUSED THE CRANKSHAFT TO LOCK UP AND PIECES PIERCED THE BLOCK CAUSING COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. THE CONNECTING ROD WAS CAST WRONG AND IT SEEMS AFTER THE CAR HAS 100K MILES IT GIVES OUT. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
