Consumer Description

VEHICLE BEGAN IDLING ROUGH AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT AND THEN BACKING OUT OF GARAGE. ONCE IN DRIVE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD FLASH FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS. EVENTUALLY, AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AGAIN. NOW IT NEEDS A NEW REAR HEAD GASKET AND THE #1 CYLINDER IS LEAKING. *TR
