Description of the problem	After receiving an regular maintenance oil change on 8/25/20 @3:42pm my vehicle started to turn off and on and loud knocking coming from the engine so i immediately turned around and went back to jiffy lube where i received the oil change and they performed a second oil change baffled as to why my vehicle was making the noise after the oil change after the 2 consecutive oil change the knocking was worse and they instructed me to go to a dealership asap.... As i was going to the closest dealership my vehicle stopped repeatedly on the highway my 5 year old grand daughter and i was terribly afraid people were honking their horns speeding past and my car stopped under a bridge turn about stopping traffic and it was very frightening and frustrating when i made it to the dealership the man told me that i would have to pay @ $140 to have the technician look at it and that they were closing at 5 so i called aaa to tow my vehicle home and i don't understand why this happened when i keep the maintenance on my car...
