| Description of the problem | I was driving down a highway going 70 mph. All of a sudden my car engine starts revving high. So i start slowing down and its still revving high. So i pull over with my 2 kids in the car, and my car dies. I had my car towed 51 miles to my mechanics shop, and found out yesterday the engine is shot. I had no warning lights come on the dash, nothing wrong until it was too late. My oil was changed a month and 5 days prior to this. |
