Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO CHECKED IT TO FIND THAT THE ENGINE HAD DIED DUE TO A FAILED CAM. THIS CAR ONLY HAS APPROX 58000 MILES ON IT AND IT IN SHOW ROOM CONDITION. I TAKE EXTRA CARE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS ARE MET. THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS ENGINE SHOULD HAVE FAILED. MY EXTENDED WARRENTY EXPIRED IN MAY AND NOW THE DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE. AN ENGINE THAT COSTS AS MUCH AS THE BLUE BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.*AK
