Consumer Description

WAS HEADING NORTH THE 805 FREEWAY FROM CHULA VISTA TO CAMP PENDLETON CA, CAR BEGAN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AND THE KNOCKING CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. SUDDENLY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. WAS HARDLY ABLE TO GET IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. GOT IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP THE NEXT DAY. WAS TOLD PROBLEM WAS ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO OIL SLUDGE AND THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THE ENGINE AND CAR. WAS NOT REPAIRED SIMPLY TOWED BACK HOME BECAUSE COST WAS OVER 5,000 DOLLARS. THE CAR IS NOT EVEN WORTH 5,000 DOLLARS. *TR
