Consumer Description

On October 3rd 2021 I had changed the oil on my car as normal maintenance. On October 30th I had the oil checked again as preventative maintenance since my war was acting up. On November 1, 2021 My car would not start. After examination by my mechanic. He started the the engine was not working anymore. I had replaced the timing chain and silonoids replaced on the engine within one year prior to the engine being inoperable. There needs to be a recall on this engine. I almost ended up in a major auto accident when it stalled out and died.
