Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND IN THE VEHICLE. I DROVE THE VEHCILE HOME ON MY LUNCH HOUR FOR MY HUSBAND TO LOOK AT IT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC INITIALLY STATED THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE TIMING CHAIN. AFTER HE FURTHER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE. THIS VEHICLE HAS REGULAR OIL CHANGES SO THIS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO US. ALSO, THERE WERE NO OIL LIGHTS OR ENGINE PROBLEM WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR THAT WAS TO COST $6700.00.*AK
