Consumer Description

WHILE ACCELERATING I WAS HEARING A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE OF THE CAR. THERE ALSO WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR REGARDING A FAULTY PCM WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO DETECT AN ENGINE THERMOSTAT MALFUNCTION. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL, AND THEY LOOKED AT MY ENGINE AND FIXED THE RATTLE WHICH THEY TOLD ME WAS DUE TO THE PCM NEEDING TO BE RESET....I READ ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ENGINE RATTLE AND THOUGHT I WOULD PUT MINE IN SO THE PERSON COULD READ THIS AND NOW THAT THE RATTLE IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING DUE TO THE RECALL AND NOT THE TYPE OF GASOLINE THEY WERE USING AS THEY WERE TOLD. *JB
