Consumer Description

MY CAR STARTED MAKING AN ENGINE RATTLING NOISE AS IF I NEEDED OIL. I TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HAD THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE NOISE CONTINUED AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN LOUDER AND MY CAR HESITATES WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR, IT HESITATES AND WILL NOT START. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE MY CRANKSHAFT WAS GOING BAD. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR THOSE KINDS OF PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM, BUT MY VIN DIDN'T SHOW THAT MINE WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WAS RECALLED. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, I BOUGHT IT USED FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP. I NEED FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE REPAIRED WITHOUT COST TO ME BECAUSE THIS IS NOT MY FAULT.
