Description of the problem	I started to have engine problems around november 2017. I took the car to the dealership and i was never told that it was a recall on the engine. They just dismissed me only telling me the warranty was out. My car was 3 payments away from being pay off and the dealer wanted $11,000 (eleven thousand) to fix it. I have to ended up buying a new one since i couldn't come up with that kind of money. Is there anything that i can do now, after 6-7 months after the purchase of the new car? I felt the dealer and the company was very tricky...... When i noticed something was wrong with the car i was driving on a street, had to stop and call a tow truck. It was a big noise like something was inside the engine. Thank you
