Consumer Description

MY 1998 GRAND CARAVAN SUDDENLY STARTED BURNING OIL. MY MECHANIC SAYS THIS IS DUE TO LEAKING VALVES THAT ARE COMMON IN THE 3.0L ENGINE. THE DISTURBING PART IS THE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON DESPITE A VERY LOW LEVEL OF ENGINE OIL. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING BOTH PROBLEMS AND RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE WITH EITHER PROBLEM. THE ENGINE AND WARNING LIGHT MALFUCNTIONS RESULTED IN LIFTER DAMAGE THAT WAS REPAIRED AT A COST OF $500.*AK
