Consumer Description

ENGINE FOUND TO HAVE THREE OIL LEAKS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENT FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOUND CAKED OIL FROM LEAKS IN THE A/C COMPRESSOR (PASSENGER SIDE FRONT), FRONT CRANK SENSOR (PASSENGER>SIDE REAR) AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD (DRIVER SIDE REAR). THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE CAR WAS TOO NEW TO HAVE THAT MUCH CAKED UP OIL AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM (ALONG WITH MY THREE PREVIOUS VEHICLES). THREE SEPARATE OIL LEAKS IN A 2000 VEHICLE IS NOT NORMAL OR EXPECTED.
