Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I noticed there was a funny noise coming from the engine, i then informed my husband and he contacted a mechanic to come to the house, the mechanic did a diagnostic check on the engine and found nothing wrong. well, on my way back from lunch (september 2004) the engine started to make a loud noise and the car was beginning to lose power. i took it to a mechanic and he took the engine apart and found sludge build up in the engine, which eventually led up to engine failure. i religiously had the oil changed and even had a master mechanic do a diagnostic check on the engine before the failure. i have been without my car since september 2004 and i am still making payment. i am having my car repaired for an outrageous amount of money and will be able to drive it again in a couple more week. have a wonderful day! regards, rita cantu, initial security admin. *jb
