Description of the problem | I was driving home on the highway in my 2004 chevy aveo. Suddenly i noticed that i was unable to accelerate and that i had lost pressure in my brakes. I had to pull over to the side of the road and put on my hazard lights. It was very busy traffic and i narrowly avoided an accident. My engine would no longer start. After having my car towed to my mechanic i discovered my timing belt/chain had broken and damaged my engine and that it will have to be replaced. Car only has 55,000 miles. |
