Consumer Description

ENGINE BEGAN KNOCKING QUIETLY AND WAS CHECKED. I WAS ASKED IF THE OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY AND I INFORMED THEM IT WAS. THE OIL WAS AT THE PROPER LEVEL. A WEEK LATER IT BEGAN KNOCKING VERY LOUDLY AND THEN JUST QUIT. I HAD AAA BRING IT HOME AND AFTER A FEW DAYS HAD A MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT. HE SAID THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACING. THIS WOULD COST ROUGHLY 3800.00. IT CRANKED UP BUT WOULD NOT MOVE OVER A FEW FEET. I BACKED IT INTO MY GARAGE AND IT STILL SITS THERE WHILE I FINISH PAYING THE 3,000.00 THAT I STILL OWE BEFORE I CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE DONE MUCH RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I FOUND YOUR INFORMATION ON AUTYBYTELS SITE ABOUT THIS ENGINE. *NM
