Description of the problem | Engine is malfunctioning and using excessive amounts of oil (1 quart every 1-2 weeks). The manufacturer built bad motors in 2007 and knowingly covered it up. The vehicles were still sold to consumers and rather than fixing the issue (engine would have to be rebuilt or replaced) the manufacturer is placing all responsibility and cost ($9,000 fix) on the consumer, even when reported before 100,000 miles. The manufacturer knowingly sold lemon vehicles and refuses to fix. A mechanic told me that my engine could explode (severe safety issue). |
