| Description of the problem | Huge oil leak! Started small, noticed a little on the turn around in my driveway - didn't even think it was my car since there was no oil when i parked. About one week later came home after a short trip and noticed the car smelled hot. I checked under the car and the oil was just running out - the bottom of the car was covered with splattered oil and in about 15minutes - no oil left! I haven't taken the car to the dealer yet - i'm afraid of the $$ and with all of the dealerships closing, the towing fee alone will probably be one i can't afford. I have check the internet and there are plenty of comments on this same problem. Where is the recall??? |
