Consumer Description

I WAS SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR MADE A NOISE LIKE AIR WAS BEING RELEASED (SOMETHING BEING DEPRESSURIZED) AND THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND COAST TO A SPOT WHERE I STOPPED. I OPENED THE HOOD AND MY ENGINE HAD A HOLE AND A HUGE CRACK THROUGHOUT THE TOP OF THE VALVE COVER. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 75,000 ON THE ENGINE AND HAS ALWAYS HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT LEAST EVERY 3000 MILES. I ALSO NOTICED SOME SLUDGE MATERIAL ON THE INSIDE OF MY OIL CAP WHEN I WAS LOOKING AROUND. I CAN SEE INTO MY ENGINE THROUGH THE HOLE. REPAIR MAN SAID REPAIRS COULD BE IN EXCESS OF $6K. CAR IS STILL AT GARAGE AS I PONDER MY CHOICES, SINCE I STILL OWE OVER $3K ON IT. *TR
