Consumer Description

AFTER THE J02 RECALL WAS DONE ON MY CAR, IT FELT SLOW AND WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WOULD STALL OUT WITHIN A SPAN OF 6 MONTHS FROM THE RECALL WAS DONE ON MY CAR. I MAINLY USE MY CAR JUST FOR WORK, AND ONE DAY I DECIDED TO TAKE A SMALL TRIP ON MY LOCAL MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY FOR A DAY OF SIGHT SEEING. WELL ON THE WAY BACK MY CAR FELT VERY UNRESPONSIVE SO I HAD DECIDED TO PULL OVER AND SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR HAD DIED ON ME RIGHT AS I MADE TURN, LEAVING ME STRANDED AFTER A BLIND CORNER, LEAVING ME EXPOSED FOR A CAR TO ALMOST HITTING ME FROM BEHIND. LUCKILY SOME GOOD FOLKS HELPED ME OUT BY STOPPING TRAFFIC BEFORE THE CORNER AND PUSHING MY CAR OUT OF THE WAY. I THOUGHT MY CAR HAD OVER HEATED SO I LET MY CAR REST FOR A HOUR, AND I TURNED ON MY CAR AND JUST HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF MY CAR. WHEN I GOT MY CAR HOME THROUGH A TOW TRUCK, I DRAINED MY OIL AND FOUND METAL PIECES IN MY OIL.
