What is your question?
Two months ago the a/c & power steering belt broke due to a malfunction with the tensionor pulley. That was a $2400 repair. Last Saturday I was driving & the engine got really loud then shut down. I took it back to the same shop that did the previous repair and they told me the battery was bad and also the starter however after putting in a new battery and starter the engine would still not start. Long story short, the engine locked up and needs replacement. It is still under the power train warranty for the next 9 months/23,000 mi. I was told that the oil was clean as was the engine and to take it to the dealership. The dealership, before even looking at the vehicle told me that it probably wouldnt be covered unless I can provide all of the service records. I purchased the vehicle new in 2005 and have not kept records of all the maintainence for the past 6 years and have used several different places over the years, its next to impossible to get all of the records. It is now at the dealership and they have yet to tell me what is wrong with it and have only said that they found sluge in the engine so they basically wont do anything else or look any further until I provide the records that I dont have...can anyone give me advice or direction? Would it be worth anything if I just sell it for salvage?

warranty must be provided with proof of service. did you check car fax?? a lot of places, even where I work, report every work order to carfax. it may help otherwise you must pay full price. sludge will clog up the pick up screen and cause no oil pressure which led to your failure. Roy
