Consumer Description

THE CAR HAD A RATTLE OR CLICK IN THE FRONT END FOR YEARS BUT MECHANICS HAD CLEARED THAT NO CONCERN. AT 120000 MILES ON TRIP OUT OF TOWN AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T DRIVE ANYMORE ON A BUSY INTERSTATE!! WE HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT ENGINE LOCKED UP AND WOULD NO LONGER START! CAR IS STILL OUT OF TOWN! AND NOW WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHETHER REPLACE IT OR SELL IT, SEVERAL HOURS AWAY FROM OUR HOME! THERE IS A CIVIL LAWYER THAT CONTACTED ME REGARDING A LAW SUIT FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN OCCURRING. HOWEVER, OUR CAR DOESN'T QUALIFY BECAUSE IT'S OVER 100,000 MILES!!:/ PLEASE CONSIDER THIS ISSUE FOR RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT I AM FINDING ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND IT'S A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!!
