Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE LOST OIL PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FRONT SEAL HAD FAILED RESULTING IN LOSS OF 4 QUARTS OF OIL. WHEN EVALUATED AT A REPAIR FACILITY THEY FOUND THAT THE CRANKSHAFT HAD FAILED AND WAS PUSHING THE FRONT SEAL OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS AVAILABLE TO TELL DEALERS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND REFERENCES IN POSTS TO OTHERS HAVING A SIMILAR FAILURE IN THIS ENGINE.
