| Description of the problem | Engine oil was diluted with gasoline, causing possible motor damage. Dealer redid a fuel mapping, and made it so teh fan cannot blow until the car is fully warmed. This wont correct the issue. These direct injected motors let gasoline past the rings when cold, and if the car is cold frequently, the gasoline will not vaporize form the oil. If left unchecked, the increased volume of liquid can cause the car to lsoe power and shut off at any time, causing a safety risk. I live in texas, so it doesn't get exceptionally cold, but this happened on a brand new car with less than 2500 miles on it at the time. Internet searches show thousands of people having the same issue. A recall should be forced to correct these issues, and keep people safe. |
