Description of the problem | The timing chain had to be replaced at 140,000 miles. ($2,000) [occurred jan. 2018] their is an issue causing with leaky pistons causing oil to evaporate. My car was low on oil (though the "low oil" indicator had not gone off) and the pressure inside the engine caused the rear main seal to break. (replacement of refurbished engine + labor est. $4,000) [occurred jan 2018 at 170,000 miles) not to mention that the back,left door is closed, though a sensor says it is ajar. The sensors in the tires are always way off, tempting me to over-inflate tires. [infinity.] |
