| Description of the problem | About 2 or 3 weeks ago i noticed something that was hanging from the front part of the car. I contacted the dealer and they informed me it was an engine covered, since i am leasing the car i requested to be repaired. The dealer informed me it was not covered because the damage was caused by me. He also told me vovos are too low in the front and if you pushed against a car bumper or something like that it will cause the engine cover to fall. As far as know this is not in the manual and was never informed of this vovos problems. They charged me $151. 06 to replace the engine covered. *ak |
