| Description of the problem | My car was working fine, the next i hear a knocking in the motor, the car started turning off, i took it right alway when they told i need a new engine. There was no engine light on or no notice that car was going break down. I only had car for about 1year and 3 months. I still own 25,000 and i need go get a new engine.. I went online saw more complaining about same thing.. Your engine suck dont work.. The dealer said if they would a been a 4 cylinder they would have fixed it right away but because mines of success under it has not been recalled well i think you should recall it because i read about 15 people complaining about the same thing no noticed that their car was going to break down and now they don't have a car.. I need a car to get work and take my kids to school.. Fix my car.. This not right that u sell a car that engine is going give in less then 2 years.. |
