Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING LOUD KNOCKING NOISES. WHEN I GOT HOME I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AS THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE, 2.7L V6 DOHC, IS KNOW TO HAVE DESIGN PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO FAILURE. I HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING ALMOST VERBATIM. THERE WERE 76,000 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN IT FAILED AND BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE OF THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT, $5,800, AND THE AMOUNT I STILL OWE ON THIS CAR WHICH I HAVE ONLY HAD FOR 2 YEARS, $8,000, I AM AT A FINANCIAL LOSS HAVING TO CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT WILL NOT RUN. *TR
