Consumer Description

MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT I WILL SOON NEED MY INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED BECAUSE THAT IS WHY I HAVE AN OIL LEAK THEY CANNOT STOP. I PAD A LOT OF MONEY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE THE OIL LEAK. AND HAVE BEEN CHARGED FOR SO MANY OIL CHANGES BECAUSE OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ETC. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A TECHNIOCAL SERVICE BULLITIN RE. THIS PROBLEM BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL BASED ON MY RESEARCH OF THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.*AK
