Consumer Description

The engine failed abruptly and without warning. It is at a mechanics now and is available to look at. When the engine suddenly lost power I was driving up to a red light. If this happened when I was on a highway it could’ve been catastrophic. An independent mechanic has told me they’ve replaced multiple engines because of the same issues. It hasn’t been inspected by anyone other than a mechanic. There was no warning lamps, messages prior to the engine failure.
