    THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE REPAIRMAN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO OIL SLUG BUILD. I HAD ALL MY OIL CHANGES DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE BROWN SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF $5,000 FOR REBUILT OR $7,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE. MY FRIEND WAS TOLD THE PERSON WHO HAD THE CAR BEFORE DID NOT HAVE THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. I GUESS I AM LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE CAR CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. (SHOULDN'T THE CAR DEALSHIP MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OK BEFORE SELLING THE CARS?
