| Description of the problem | We have been having trouble with our entourage not being able to start. Two months ago we had an oil leak from our valve cover and was told it had been leaking onto our alternator for awhile and could cause our alternator to stop working. We had to pay an exorbitant amount of money to get the valve cover fixed. The mechanic i have been talking to says that their is a recall on the veracruz which uses the same engine an valve cover for my vehicle. I think that our 2007 entourage should be included in this recall in case this should happen to more people and more accidents happen. Because of this leak happening we will now have to get a new alternator soon. |
