Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE DISTRIBUTOR CAP. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START IT THE ENGINE JERKED SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING THE ENGINE BLOCK TO CRACK WHERE THE STARTER IS MOUNTED. THE DEALER FIRST REPLACED THE ORIGINAL CAP WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE CAP. WHEN THEY REPLACED IT THE SECOND TIME, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. *NM
