I took my car to the dealer’s service department yesterday to see if the problems were covered under warranty. Unfortunately, they were not, so now I don't know what to do. They quoted me 10k for an engine replacement. I'm definitely not going to, nor can I pay this. I'm going to get a few more quotes, but I'm not sure what to do next. I still owe about 6k on this car, but it looks like it's only worth about 7.2 right now. Details below….
