Consumer Description

RECURRING BURNING OIL SMELL AND OIL LEAK ON MY 2002 PONTIAC GTP GRAND PRIX. @ DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO FIX IT MULTIPLE TIME AND AT A COST OF MORE THEN $1600 DOLLARS. ONLY THE HAVE THE REPAIR FALL UNDER A RECALL AFTER WHICH THEY WONT REFUND MY MONEY. ADDITIONALLY THE CAR STILL HAVE A OIL LEAK AND BURNING OIL SMELL. THESE ARE THE SYMPTOMS FOR THE ENGINE FIRES THAT CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THIS ENGINE. I CANT EVEN SELL THE CAR, NO ONE WANTS IT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM. I'M READING DOZENS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS EVEN SOME HOMES BEING DAMAGED FROM FIRE RESULTING FROM THE ENGINE FIRE AFTER YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. *TR
