| Description of the problem | Vehicle displays no warning lights. Vehicle suddenly cut off in the middle of a busy road at an intersection, and upon trying to re-crank, it makes a loud knocking and clanking noise. Could only semi-operate car in neutral. Car will only cut on for about 5-10 seconds at a time. There was an open recall on this year and model vehicle, for this very same issue, but according to my vin, my vehicle does not qualify for the recall although others do. It sounds like the rods are knocking to a highly extreme level. |
