Description of the problem | On the morning of 10/10/18. My daughter was driving to work on a clear, strait, highway road at about 45 mph. She heard a noise then lost all power to the car. She coasted to the side. Immediately after loosing power, the wheel locked on her. On the ground was tons of fluids. A wrecker was called. I took it to my mechanic and his words were "the barring went through the motor." i had to find another motor to put in my car. The pictures will show the damage. |
