Description of the problem | While driving at highway speed on a 2 lane highway and going up a medium incline, a ticking noise progressively got louder over the course of about 45 seconds to a minute until there was total loss of power, almost causing a collision from a vehicle behind me. No warning lights appeared on the dash as this was happening and engine temperature was normal. Luckily there was enough shoulder and had enough momentum to pull off to the side of the road. I was unable to restart the vehicle and had to have it towed. The vehicle fell under a safety recall which was reported to have been completed october 13, 2017. I am the original owner of the vehicle. |
