Consumer Description
Engine stalling/losing acceleration. Piston damage may result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. A broken connecting rod may puncture the engine block allowing engine oil to escape. The leaking oil may contact the exhaust, increasing the risk of a fire. The engine stalls and loses acceleration spontaneously during driving. This will lead to a failing O2 sensor, not sure which comes first. My car would lose power on the freeway and making Left hand turns leading to near crashes. The problem has been confirmed by a repair shop. No warning lamps were triggered not sure if this is also part of the problem, it does not trigger a warning light.
