Consumer Description

DT: CONTACT STATES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND BLOWS BLACK SMOKE. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS SET IN THE SUN IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE.

THE SERVICE DEALER STATES IT IS AN EGR VALVE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND IS WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN. THE CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER; THEY REFER HIM TO THE DEALERSHIP. *AK
