Consumer Description

Only July 8, 2023 I was driving 75MPH in a 75MPH zone approximately 200 miles from home when I received a warning on my dash "change oil soon." I pressed OK to dismiss the alert. Immediately after my oil pressure light came on, and my check engine light. The car started to sputter and I lost power. On the highway, far from home my children and I suddenly had no power and were in danger. I was scared and had the car towed at my expense to the closest dealership. Here I was told the engine needed to be replaced because of a known issue with the tensioner belt in these engines. My engine was seized. I have been without a car since that date.
