Consumer Description

I HAVE TAKEN MY 1998 HONDA ACCORD LX TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED. (MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON) I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY ENGINE WAS LEAKING OIL, OIL HAD LEAKED THROUGH OUT THE CARS ENTIRE SYSTEM SO THEY FLUSHED OUT AS MUCH OIL AS THEY COULD. I WAS SKEPTICAL SO I WENT TO GET A 2ND AND THIRD OPINION AND IT WAS THE SAME CONSENSUS- I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. MY VEHICLE HAS 134,000 MILES. FOR A USED ENGINE IT WILL COST ABOUT 3,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE 5,000.00 . I WAS TOLD TO THAT I EITHER HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE OR PURCHASE A NEW CAR. SINCE THE SYSTEM WAS DRAINED, THE CAR HAS LEAKED OIL AGAIN THIS TIME THE OIL WAS ALL OVER THE DRIVE WAY AND IT IS ALMOST APRIL. *JB
