| Description of the problem | Dealer said the camshaft adjuster with chain tensioner needs to be replace at 65,000 miles. Also the high pressure pump needs to be replace too. This after spending over $773. 06 hundred dollars on engine analysis. I decline the service because it will cost me $5,324. 98 to get the job done. Could this be a safety recall because the dealer said one of this days it might just stop on the middle of nowhere. Now i am driving this vehicle with the check engine light on because of the problem i mention above. |
