| Description of the problem | The engine started knocking. Took to the dealer. Turns out i may have forgotten to change the oil for approx 14,00 miles... However.... No warning light ever came on to remind me. No oil light, no engine light... Nothing. Now i am facing a possible big expense in repair... Waiting to hear from the shop as i type this. These warning systems are in place to avoid this situation. Had it worked properly, i would have been reminded to get the oil changed. |
