Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While proceeding up a slight incline during the commuting hour, the car lost all power and i came close to being hit in the rear. after about 30 seconds i regained some power and was able to proceed. the car was idling rough and i had to keep my foot on the accelerator at all times to keep it running. i had it turned up and it ran better but still a lack of power. i had to have it inspected and it failed inspection because the pollution was at 1200. i then had it tuned up again (fully) and it failed again. i had it checked out at a station and found out that cylinder 3 did not have any pressure at all. i also found out that to get it fixed it would cost around $1,000. it still is not fixed.
