Consumer Description

DT: THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE CONSUMER STARTED IT AND COULD HEAR AN EXPLOSION SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN LIFTING THE HOOD COULD SEE OIL COMING FROM ALL OVER. WHEN SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY VERIFIED THAT THE MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN KEPT UP. THEY TOLD HER THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE MOTOR WITH A USED MOTOR. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THE SAME PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THEY UNDERSTOOD HER CONCERN AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP HER BECAUSE HER WARRANTY WAS WITH SOMEONE ELSE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. *AK
