Consumer Description

ON JUNE 3 2012 I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM MY ENGINE ON THE WAY TO CHURCH. WHEN I LEFT I HAD PROBLEMS GETTING THE CAR TO START. I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AND RETURNED HOME. THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I CALLED AROUND TO SEE IF I COULD HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT IT. WHEN I TOLD THEM THE MAKE, MODEL AND ENGINE SIZE OF MY VEHICLE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TYPE OF ENGINE THAT I HAVE ARE KNOWN FOR FAILING. IT HAS A 2.7L ENGINE WHICH IS KNOWN FOR SLUDGE BUILD UP. I HAD THE OIL CHANGE REGULARLY. I FOUND THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING FLUID WITH THE OIL CAUSING IT TO FAIL. NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WHICH IS GOING TO COST $3000 INCLUDING LABOR. *TR
