| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 21 august 2007 my 2003 buck rendezvous cxl awd with app 60,050 miles suffered a complete engine failure due to what my mechanic believes is a failure of the wrist pin in the left most front cylinder. the car was well maintained for receiving regularly spaced oil changes. per my mechanic's opinion failure of this part is not an indication of excessive wear or tear or lack of vehicle care. the consequence of the failure of this wrist pin is the destruction of the entire engine. per my mechanic's opinion there is no way to salvage an engine that has suffered this type of incident. the correction of this incident will involve the replacement of the entire engine. *tr |
