| Description of the problem | Lifters collapsed into the engine at 145k miles requiring installation of new engine. Vehicle was less than 5 years old. At 2 years of age vehicle was making knocking noises and the check engine light was on. We brought it in for repairs multiple times replacing all lifters, rockers, cam shaft and catalytic converters all at our expense. Each time the check engine light came back on in less than 2 weeks and the knocking continued. After spending all of this money the end result is having to spend more on the new engine. |
