Consumer Description

On July 9, 2022 Warning across dashboard stated engine oil pump pressure low then heard grinding noise. Towed to mechanic and found out the oil pump belt was broken and had metal in engine causing engine to fail also messing up turbo. Have to now replace engine with turbo which is costly but still owe on vehicle. Engine is $7000+ and is extremely hard to find plus was told the problem will most likely happen again. If I had been driving when this happened the motor would have locked up causing an accident and could have possibly been fatal per mechanic.
