Description of the problem	I went to the bank in november of 2014. I shut my car off because its started to make a loud noise . I tried to start it when i was done and it would not start. I was able to get a jump to start it back up but it keep on dying. I was finally able to get it started enough to get it home . It died right before my house so we had to push it into the driveway. When i was driving it home the electrical kept cutting in and out and it was making a loud noise. Come to find out the crankshaft pulley bolt broke off into the engine. I only had the car for 8 months and paid $8700. 00 for the car.
