Engine · at 95,000 miles · reported Nov 11, 2013
Driving down the road and my car stopped running. All the battery-operated functions (Lights, windows, etc.) worked but the engine would not start. I had it towed to a repair shop that told me the timing belt broke while I was driving, destroying the engine.

Tires · reported Jul 18, 2007
Hello! I own an audi tt which I got from tisher audi in silver spring in march 2006. I had 2 tire blow outs since february 2007. Audi told me that the tire it recommended for the car was a low aspect ratio tire , which was easily susceptible to blow out. They felt that I purchased a tire protection policy that covered the cost of replacing tires frequently and that the problem was resolved.
