Consumer Description

I was driving to working and I was going about 75 mph and then I started losing power. My speed reduced to slowly and a loud knocking was coming from my car. There was hesitation and shaking as I drove it to the side of the road. As I tried to accelerate to safely move to the side of the road the knocking continued. There is a lot of shaking. The next day the car would shaking and knock for 10-15 seconds and then shut off completely.
