Consumer Description

MY CAR DIED ON JANUARY 23RD FOR GOOD WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE DAY BEFORE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM COLLEGE AND I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR JUST DIED. FOR NO REASON AT ALL. I WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP AND MAKE IT HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY MY BOYFRIEND, ME AND OUR SON WERE ON OUR WAY BACK HOME FROM MY MOTHERS HOUSE WE TURNED INTO CVS AND THE CAR DIED!!!!! IT STARTED BACK UP AND WE MADE IT OUT OF THE WAY OF THE OTHER CARS BEHIND US. WHEN IT RESTARTED THIS TIME IT WAS AN AWFUL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WE PARKED IT AND I CALLED MY STEP-DAD AND HE SAID TO TRY AND GET IT HOME AND HE WOULD LOOK AT IT THE NEXT DAY. WE GOT THE CAR HOME AND HE CAME TO LOOK AT IT AND SAID HE HASN'T EVER SEEN SLUDGED UP OIL LIKE THAT IN HIS LIFE!!! HE TRIED TO START IT A FEW TIMES AND IT WOULDN'T. SO NOW I HAVE THIS CAR SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY UNDRIVABLE!!!!! =I HAVE TWO CHILDREN, ONE IN SCHOOL AND ONE NOT. I'M IN COLLEGE AND THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE!!!!!!!!!! NOW WHAT DO I DO????????? I'M NOT MADE OF MONEY AND I HAVE NO WAY TO BUY A NEW ENGINE!! PLEASE FIND SOME WAY TO HELP ME. *TR
