Consumer Description

DEFECT IN MOTOR DESIGN, MOTORS SELF DESTRUCTION AT 90000 MI OR LESS. SON WAS DRIVING CAR ON INTERSTATE, TRIED TO PASS TRUCK, MOTOR BLEW, NARROWLY MISSED CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS TO REPAIR SHOPS I'VE BEEN TOLD THESE 2.7 LITER V6 MOTORS ARE JUNK. THEY HAVE A DEFECT WITH THE OIL PUMP. WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE OIL T IS PUMPED TO THE TOP OF THE MOTOR, MAKING THE OIL PUMP RUN DRY AND STARVE THE MAIN BEARING ON THE LOWER END. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON ALL 2.7 LITER V6 MOTORS. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FOR MY SON, HE ONLY HAD IT 2 WEEKS. I PAID CASH $5,500.00. GONE, CAR NOT WORTH REPAIRING. WHAT A RIP OFF.*AK
