Consumer Description

FIRST WAS A FUNNY CLICKING NOISE WHEN THE CAR STARTED. IT STARTED TO GET WORSE VERY QUICKLY AND I HAD IT LOOKED AT. THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE FOUND AT THAT TIME. SHORTLY THERE AFTER IT BROKE DOWN. THIS TIME I AM TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HAS A SLUDGE BUILD UP PROBLEM WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO BREAK. NOW I'M TOLD THAT THE BEST THING TO DO IS SPEND BETWEEN $4,500 AND $5,000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. IT HASN'T BEEN REPAIRED YET (12-11-2007). *TR
