Description of the problem	I have a 1997 chevrolet cavalier. It only had less then eighty five thousand miles on it and the engine blew up . I was told the reason why was because it had a defective rod in it. I have all the parts ect you can see there's a defect in the metal it goes all the way threw the rod. I find it hard to believe that such a new car would blow up . I took very good care of that car i had to fix some things the chevrolet dealership is a joke out here they are worthless thy mistreated me too. I just want to know if there is anything i can do or someone can do about this? Thank you very much denise boozer p. S. That's appr date when it happened. *nlm
