Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR STARTED KNOCKING NOT RUNNING WELL. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THEY STATED I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT HAD SEIZED. THE REPAIR SHOP ALSO STATED THEY HAD REPLACED 20 OF THE SAME MODEL WITHIN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER IT. WE HAVE MAINTAINED THE ENGINE WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES
