Consumer Description
WAS DRIVING MY CAR. GOT OFF I-79 TO GET GAS. GOT BACK IN MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. HAD TO GET A JUMP. IT STARTED. STARTED DRIVING (ABOUT 4 MILES) ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE FROM THE MOTOR. IT NEVER GAVE ME A WARNING, NO NOISE OR ANYTHING BEFORE THIS. IT RAN PERFECTLY. I'M SO DISGUSTED. THEY'RE SAYING ALMOST $5000.00 WITH PARTS AND LABOR WITH A USED MOTOR. THE BEARING SPUN, THE ROLLER ROCKER BROKE OFF TIMING CHAIN, AND SOMETHING ELSE. HMM A USED MOTOR. YOU DO KNOW A USED MOTOR WILL FALL INTO THAT CATEGORY AGAIN!! I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC WHERE IT STILL SITS. I UPKEPT THE OIL BEFORE IT WAS DUE. IT HAS 138,706 MILES I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AT ALL . GM I HOPE YOU DO US RIGHT BECAUSE WE STOOD BY YOU AND TRUSTED YOU!
