Consumer Description

I HAD A 99 DODGE INTREPID. MY CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE OIL AND WE BELIEVED THERE TO BE A LEAK BECAUSE IT WOULD NEVER HOLD OIL VERY LONG BEFORE THE TANK WOULD BE BONE DRY. BUT EVEN AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC WE COULD NOT FIND A LEAK. IN MARCH WAS DRIVING BACK INTO TOWN WHEN MY CAR BROKE DOWN. IT STARTED MAKING A REALLY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE LIKE THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED HOME A MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THAT THE ENGINE HAD GONE OUT AND I NEEDED A NEW ONE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO FILE BANKRUPTCY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR WAS ONLY WORTH $3000 OR SO AND IT WOULD HAVE COST MORE THAN THAT TO FIX IT AND THAT I WAS ALREADY $4000 UPSIDE DOWN. HOWEVER, I AM ABOUT TO BE SUED BY THE CREDIT UNION THAT I HAD THE LOAN FOR MY CAR ON DUE TO THEM LOSING SO MUCH MONEY ON IT. *JB
