Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A USED 2002 ACURA RSX TYPE-S FROM FIESTA DODGE IN SAN ANTONIO, TX ON OCTOBER 3, 2005. THEY SAID THEY DID A FULL 101 POINT INSPECTION ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES. I HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 38 DAYS AND HAD PUT LESS THAN 3,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I NOTED POWER LOSS IN THE UPPER RPM BAND. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER TO GET INSPECTED, WHERE I FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BURNING OIL BADLY AND HAD DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE TO RUIN THE MOTOR, THANKFULLY I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT WAS SEEN AS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, BUT STILL I AM WITHOUT A CAR FOR THE NEXT MONTH WHILE THE NEW MOTOR IS INSTALLED. *JB
