| Description of the problem | Car just turned a year old with 10,477 going down the highway 65miles per hour when i thought my tire was going flat because i felt a jerk in the acceleration i pulled over to check the tires i saw all blue smoke coming from exhaust. It was not until i go to the side of the road to noticed a problem. No sign of engine light or codes came on until i was in park checking my tires. The problem was rectified,broken fuel lines... After discussing this with other they informed me i was pretty darn lucky due to the fact the engine could have ignited... |
