On 9/19/2016 I was driving on the 91 freeway about 40 miles from home, my car made a loud noise and shut off, I was in the left (fast lane) and lost all power, I put on the hazard lights and honked the horn as I steered the car toward the right side of the freeway crossing several lanes, luckily I made it without having an accident, I called for the nearest tow company to come and tow my car home. When I got home I opened the hood and seen the crankshaft came through the plastic. . .
