Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING ON THE THE EXPRESSWAY, MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE SO I SLOWED DOWN TO PULL OVER TO CHECK IT OUT. WHILE SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR DIED ON THE EXPRESSWAY BEFORE I COULD GET OFF. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO START AND GOT OFF IMMEDIATELY! WHILE TRYING TO FIND SOME WHERE TO PULL INTO THE CAR CONTINUED TO MAKE THE LOUD NOISE AND KEPT DYING. I FINALLY COULD NOT KEEP IT RUNNING SO I CALLED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC'S. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ENGINE HAD GUNKED UP AND THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO AND STILL OWE $11, 000. NOW I HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR $7,500 AND NO WAY TO PAY FOR THIS LARGE REPAIR. SO, I NOW HAVE A DEAD CAR THAT I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON AND INSURE. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF MY CAR AND I FEEL THAT THERE MAY BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *AK
