Description of the problem	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.
