| Description of the problem | My car has been making more noise than usual. The engine sounded like it was always revving up, even in a parked position. I took it in to be looked at and they opened up the engine and said that there was metal on metal and metal in the pan (i really don't understand these terms). Overall, it needs a new engine!!!!! How can a 6 year old car with 94,000 miles need a new engine! It is worth nothing it i don't put a new engine in it! Seems like i'm not the only one with this problem, but not sure how to get help. |
