THE CAR STARTED STARTED TO SMELL LIKE SMOKE AGAIN .I TOOK MY CHILD FROM THE CAR AND CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AAA. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BLOWN VALVES TO THE COST OF 3,000$.I HAVE ONLY 60,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND HAVE TREATED IT WITH KIT GLOVES.IT HAS HAD ALL THE MAINTENANCE YOU CAN GIVE.SO HOW CAN A 35,000$ CAR ALMOST INJURE YOU AND THEN FALL APART AT 60,000 MILES CAN YOU REFER MR TO THE APPROPIATE CHANNELS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS DEATH TRAP.
