Consumer Description

1. I LEFT WORK TO GO TO LUNCH AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T GET IT STARTED SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC'S GARAGE. HE GAVE ME THE BAD NEWS STATING THAT IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE. 2. PREMATURE ENGINE PROBLEMS IN MY 2001 DODGE INTREPID ENGINE WITH OIL SLUDGE AND TIMING CHAIN FAILURE CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE AND FAILURE. 3. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 08/2005. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT THAT COVERED MOST REPAIR COST, EXCEPT $625.78. THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE THE TWO TOWING COST THAT I HAD TO PAY. I WAS ALSO WITHOUT A CAR FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS AS THE DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T GIVE ME A LOANER AND MY INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER A LOANER. WE HAVE NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN OUR SMALL COMMUNITY WHICH REALLY CREATED A HARDSHIP. *NM
