Consumer Description

WHILE DROPPING MY CHILDREN OFF AT SCHOOL THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT LIT UP. NOTHING ON MY GAUGES APPEARED TO BE WRONG EXCEPT FOR THE FUEL GAUGE BEING ON 1/4 TANK SO I CONTINUED ON MY 1 MILE TRIP TO THE SCHOOL. WHEN MY CHILDREN EXITED THE VEHICLE THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT LIT AGAIN AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SPUTTER. I THEN TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. I CALLED FOR A TOW. SEVERAL HOURS AND AT A COST THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE HAD SEIZED AND THE PROBLEM WAS ENGINE SLUDGE. *TR
