Description of the problem	Purchased vehicle 5/26/14. At first had a popping noise from right rear break; took to dealership stating could find problem, so lived with it. At 10,000 + miles dealer found front breaks warped, so had them replaced. Around same 10k + miles dealer had to drop engine to replace leaking oil found around timing cover area, stating factory install did not allow proper sealing. On 7/22/15, @ 12,748 miles noticed oil leak same area, and informed by dealer that engine has to be dropped for the 2nd time to repair oil leak.
