Consumer Description

AFTER STARTING FROM A FULL STOP AT A CONTROLLED INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATION. WE ROLLED THE CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION TO THE CURB. IT FAILED TO RESTART. MECHANICAL INSPECTION REVEALED A BROKEN PIVOT BOLT IN THE TENSIONER ASSEMBLY FOR THE CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELT. THE CONDITION CREATED WAS DANGEROUR AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING IN THAT THE ENGINE FAILED SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING LEAVING NO POWER ASSISTS FOR STEERING AND REQUIRED GUESSING AS TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS THE CAR WAS STILL ROLLING. I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN READILY AVAILABLE AS THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE SINCE THE FAILURE ALSO RESULTED IN THE ENGINE BENDING VALVES IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS. *AK
