Consumer Description

THE VALVES ON THIS ENGINE BURNED OUT AT 59,000 MILES. THE CAUSE WAS REVEALED TO BE A DEFECTIVE CAMSHAFT WHICH WAS ROUGH AND PITTED AND HAD BURNED THE VALVES. THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND NOT POOR MAINTENANCE; I HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED WITH SYNTHETIC OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES AND OTHERWISE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF THIS VEHICLE. THE SUV REQUIRED A NEW CAMSHAFT AND COMPLETE VALVE JOB, COSTING APPROXIMATELY $2200 INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR. *TR
