| Description of the problem | At approximately 12k miles i noticed that when the vehicle was started and moved from the street to the driveway and turned off before it could reach normal operating temperature, upon restart, there would be a puff of blue smoke from the exhaust. The dealership investigated and said that they could not duplicate the issue. At 20,500 miles the vehicle was running poorly and the check engine light came on. The dealership said a fuel injector had gone bad and they also found 3 bad engine rocker arms. The rocker arms were replaced under warranty. Incidentally, the issue with the blue smoke from the exhaust disappeared. At 28,000 miles the engine was beginning to develop an audible ticking noise. The dealership investigated and this time replaced 4 bad rocker arms. At least 1 of the rocker arms was the same one (#1 intake) that had been replaced during the prior servicing. |
