Consumer Description

NOTICED A UNUSUAL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA IN LATE DECEMBER, 2008. WE TOOK OUR JIMMY IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE (1/21/2009) IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE ENGINE OIL COOLER LINES WERE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE FOUND OUT THAT THE OIL WAS DRIPPING ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSING THE UNUSUAL ODOR. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE AND LOSS OF VEHICLE OR INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS IF IT WAS NOT NOTED BY THE DEALER TECHNICIAN. *TR
