| Description of the problem | I was getting off of the interstate, approaching a stop sign on the off ramp, and my car shut off. I cranked it back up and immediately went to a mechanic. It began making a noise (only when i first pressed on the gas). The mechanic drove it and looked under the hood and quickly determined that there is a problem with the bottom end of my motor. |
