Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HEARD BANG AND CAR LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO TAP. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND SHUT CAR DOWN. UPON INSPECTION FOUND MOTOR WAS FULL OF ANTI-FREEZE. WATER PUMP SHAFT BEARINGS BROKE INTO "PIECES" FLOODING ENGINE WITH ANTI-FREEZE. INSTALLED NEW WATER PUMP AND TIMING CHAIN, BUT TOO MUCH DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE. CAR REPAIR COSTS TOO MUCH TO FIX, HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY MECHANICS THAT PROBLEMS WILL PERSIST WITH THIS 2.7 MOTOR. ADDITIONALLY, AIR CONDITIONING FAILS REPEATEDLY. POWER WINDOW UNIT FAILS REPEATEDLY. FRONT END PROBLEMS. WE TRIED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, BUT APPARENTLY THERE IS NO "FIX" FOR THIS ENGINE. *TR
