Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAS AFRAID TO KEEP DRIVING IT SINCE I DIDNT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. MY CAR WAS TOWED BACK HOME. I HAD A TECHNICIAN CHECK MY CAR AND I WAS TOLD THE MOTOR HAD BLOWN UP. MY CAR ONLY HAS AROUND 67,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE TOW COMPANY THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE THAT I HAVE. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALLS BUT DID FIND THAT A PREVIOUS MODEL WAS BURNING OIL AND DAMAGED THE MOTOR.
