Consumer Description

AS I PULLED OUT OF MY PARKING LOT AT WORK I LOST POWER SO I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THE TURBO WAS BAD DUE TO BEING CLOGGED WITH SLUDGE. AND, THAT DUE TO THAT SLUDGE THE ENTIRE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $8,900. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE CAR 9 MONTHS, HAVE RECEIPTS FOR MULTIPLE OIL CHANGES, AND HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY - HOWEVER, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY (AMERIPLUS) STATES THAT BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY SLUDGE, I'M NOT COVERED. I'VE RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, PLEASE HELP ME! *TR
