Consumer Description

Even with have oil changes regularly and just about 2,000 miles ago *synthetic oil* the car started making very weird noises when accelerating and randomly having the oil light pop up. As I drove down the highway, with the pedal to the floor it would not speed up, the car then completely died and would not turn on. After having it towed and inspected they declared the engine was done and could not be fixed. They then informed me that because this issue is SO common it makes it extremely hard and expensive to find a replacement engine.
