Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAD ONLY 61000 MILES ON IT AND NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. COOLANT LEAKED INTO ENGINE JUST 3 WEEKS AFTER I PAID $2K FOR WORK ON THE COOLANT SYSTEM (RESERVOIR, HOSES) AND A PLENUM VALVE REPLACEMENT TO ADDRESS THE SAME PROBLEM IT WAS THEN EXPERIENCING (OVERHEATING AND ENGINE REVVING). DEALER SAID A PISTON SLEEVE HAD SLIPPED. FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT REQUIRED. THIS CAR HAS RECEIVED ALL OF ITS RECOMMENDED SERVICE APPOINTMENTS AND HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 50K MILES. *TR
