Consumer Description

VEHICLE TAKEN IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT 39000 MILES. MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A MANIFOLD INTAKE LEAK THAT WOULD COST $600+ TO FIX.I DID NOT DO THE REPAIR, BUT HAVE SINCE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND THAT NOT REPAIRING COULD CAUSE SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE. SOMETHING KNOWN AND COMMON LIKE THIS IS SHAMEFUL FOR A CAR 3000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. I SUSPECT THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT AT THE OIL CHANGE PRIOR TO 36K.
