What owners wrote
One day when I was driving, I heard a really loud sound coming from my car that hurt my ears so I drove back home under 5 miles per hour because whatever was hitting under the hood of my car was way too loud. As I was parking in my spot at home, my car shut off completely. Couldn't even put it in park and said to check engine. I ended up having to get my car towed to lithia of dodge to look at it to see whats wrong because I couldnt even turn my car back on at all or do anything with it it was undriveable.
