1983 CHEVROLET CHEVETTE User Comment / Complaint

While traveling on cruise control at 70 miles per hour, the vehicle decelerated. the dash board lights lit up and truck would not restart. temperature gauge indicated not overheating, water was in radiator, oil was at the full mark on the oil dip stick. no fluids leaked from the engine. my vehicle is at the ford dealership in owatanna, mn. i have been told by a ford dealership technician that he believes it to be pieces of the gasket around the oil pump that blocked the flow of oil to the engine seizing the valves in the engine. apparently it happens frequently to his knowledge. also , i know of another ford ranger that experienced unexplained engine failure this past week. i have maintained oil changes within the manufacturer's recommendation during the time i have owned the ranger. the vehicle has only 69136 miles on the odometer. at this juncture the extended warranty service and the dealership have not resolved method of replacing the engine.  view

I own a 1997 bmw 540i. radiator broke at plastic attachment point. coolant leaked all over the windshield and engine. this seems to be a well known defect among owners of this car due to the plastic attachment point at the junction of the hose and the radiator.  view

I was driving my 2004 honda accord ex-l navi sedan and went to get gas. as i finished pumping the gas and went to start the car the car would not start. the car had to be towed to the closest honda dealership. they looked at the car the next day and said that the starter had malfunctioned and needed to be replaced.  view
