| Description of the problem | Brand new car and engine went out. Dealer said i didn't have the oil changed which caused critical failure with engine. After almost 2 years fighting with dealer i gave up. I saved 5k to have a new engine installed with an outside dealer with the same year make and mileage. Today car is overheating and acting like the original engine i had. Guess what .. This engine just turned 34000k ... You can tell i don't drive much which is even more reason why i think there is a problem with this year model 4cyl engine. 100k mile warranty my [xxx]. I am fed up with this car.
