| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Engine head piston bolt broke which resulted in the damage of the engine piston. all mechanics i spoke to said that it could only happen if i was going at speeds of excess of over 100 m.p.h. which i wasn't because i stopped the car quickly enough to stop further piston damage. if i didn't, the mechanics told me i might have had to buy a new engine or so they told me. people tell me that the engine piston bolt breaking is a very, very rare occurence and that it could be a manufacturer defect. please look into it so i can be absolutely sure if it was the company's fault or mine in having to pay $800.00 for something i should or should not have paid. thank you. |
