Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS ON A TRIP TO ARKANSAS WITH HER PARENTS WHEN THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND HAD TO STAY IN A MOTEL DUE TO THE FACT THE PARTS HOUSE SENT THE WRONG PART. AFTER GETTING THE CAR FIXED AND ON HER WAY, FATHER IN LAW WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE 2.7 ENGINE DROPPED A ROD THROUGH THE OIL PAN.. THIS ENGINE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY ME WHEN IT COMES TO OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE... 3000 MILES OR 3 MONTHS FAITHFULLY SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 8 MONTHS NOW. BOUGHT IN OCTOBER OF 2003...THE CAR HAS 79,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.. I HAVBE BEEN TOLD BY A REPUTABLE MECHANIC IN JACKSON, TENNESSEE WHERE THE CAR IS AND HE HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS WILL BE THE 5TH 2.7 ENGINE HE HAS REPLACED IN THE LAST 6-7 MONTHS.. NOW I AM OUT OF ONE VEHICLE AND PROBABLY WON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF REPLACING THE ENGINE WITH ANOTHER 2.7 CRAP ENGINE... I NEED SOME HELP FROM SOMEONE... WHO DO I NEED TO TURN TO FOR THIS????*AK
