What owners say
My vehicle has 64,000 miles and I was exiting the driveway and accelerating up to 45mph when all the sudden I encountered a complete loss of power with sounded like a bang in the engine. My car immediately slowed down to under 30mph and started shaking. Luckily I was only 2 minutes from my house. I believe this part should be recalled because looking at all the complaints with other owners they have the same problem this is a plastic piece that under where in tear and pressure which is designed for it is failing. Some of the stories I've heard are pretty scary also like people being on the highway in this happening.
