Consumer Description

Driving down the highway road I lost full power and the engine made a bad knocking sound when the gas pedal was pressed. It is at the dealership they stated there was metal in the oil and stated the bearings wore out. No warning lights while driving. It has approximately 72,000 miles. I was able to control the vehicle, but could not drive it far. Going uphill it could not travel at the same speed as traffic. That put my safety at risk one, because it caused others to slow down, two I was in a remote part of the state by myself if it stopped altogether I would have been stranded.
