While driving down the interstate, all of a sudden out of nowhere, I noticed that my coolant indicator lever had not moved. A few miles later, it started running rough so I pulled over immediately and then it started smoking so bad I thought it would catch fire! I didn't even want to open the hood because I was so afraid! thankfully for a fdot officer who did open it and stayed with me in pouring rain until a tow truck came! at the dealership, they told me that the timing belt broke not giving me any warning whatsoever and resulted in my engine failure. They stated I needed to replace the entire engine at a cost of over $7000!!! I could have been killed how this all happened! no warning! no way to have known there was an issue or that the car was overheating! Chrysler should be ashamed!.
