Consumer Description

AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WE HAD THE CODES READ. P0171 AND P0174. RUNNING LEAN ON RIGHT SIDE AND LEFT SIDE. RESEARCH SHOWS MANY OTHERS ON MESSAGE BOARDS ALL AROUND THE WEB WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE SAME AVERAGE MILEAGE (50,000). DEALERS WANT OVER $600 TO FIX THE ISSUE. WITH SO MANY USERS EXPERIENCING THIS DESIGN FLAW, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? *NM
