| Description of the problem | Had about a month with how the car accelarated. The car made a lot of noise then the oil light would go on. Finally about 3 weeks ago, brought the car in due to an engine light, and was told the engine is burning oil, i knew that bc i was adding oil. Was told just today that the engine seized yesterday after i dropped it off and now i need to pay for it. Did i mention this is a lease and its only 42,000 miles on it? Needless to say i have no car in a rental i have to pay for. Spoke to a few mechanics and was told its an on going problem with these cars. Great! But now im stuck w the bill of the engine or the early return lease bc the car is undriveable!!! |
