Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 70MPH CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL COASTING TO A STOP. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE GAS CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITTUATION AS WE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, IT WOULD NOT START AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL FOR TOWING PURPOSES. REPAIR SHOP SAID THE TIMING CHAIN HAD WENT OUT SEIZING AND RUINING THE ENGINE. 15K REPAIR BILL, VERY DANGEROUS SITTUATION HAVING NO CONTROL OVER A VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY DRIVING!
