Consumer Description

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY OIL WAS BURNING UP AND I HAD WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE PROBLEM WAS UNKNOWN. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND FILTER CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN 2 MONTHS (DUE TO OIL BURNING UP). A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY ENGINE STARTED TO SOUND LIKE A SEMI TRUCK SO I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY. I CHECKED THE OIL WHICH WAS FINE AND THERE WAS NOTHING SMOKING SO I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT TO MY DADS HOUSE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING MY ENGINE IS HISTORY. I FOUND OUT OIL SLUDGE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE 3 YEARS LEFT TO PAY OFF A CAR THAT I CAN'T DRIVE AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. EVEN IF I TRIED FOR A USED ENGINE I WOULD BE ON A WATING LIST (WHICH TELLS YOU SOMETHING RIGHT THERE.*AK
