Consumer Description

BROUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST 2011. AT EVERY SERVICE I WOULD REPORT OF KNOCKING NOISE AS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEED OF OIL. I WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT THERE IS/WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. AGAIN IN DECEMBER 2013, MILEAGE WAS 17,000 I COMPLAINED (VERY LOUDLY) ABOUT THE NOISE.... ONE OF THE TECH'S TOOK IT FOR A HARD TEST DRIVE AND BLOW UP THE ENGINE. THEY SAID MY ENGINE WAS GONE AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE IT WHICH THEY DID DO. THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO ASK SHOULD THE WARRANTY START OVER? I COPIED AND PASTED THIS BUT ADDED MY OWN STUFF TO IT! YOU CANNOT DETECT A BAD ENGINE BEARING WITH A COMPUTER SENSOR.... YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR BRAIN....... SOMETHING THAT HAS GONE WITH THE TIMES:( *TR
