Consumer Description

VALVE GASKET COVER ON ENGINE LEAKS OIL. THIS IS NOW THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN A YEAR. IT HAPPENED IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND NOW IN NOVEMBER 2013. THE 3RD TIME THE OIL LEAK CAUSED A FIRE ON THE ENGINE. THE AUTO PLACE TOLD ME EVERY TIME THEY FIX THIS, THE ENGINE SOMEHOW EVENTUALLY WARPS THE VALVE GASKET COVER. THIS WOULD SUGGEST A DEFECT WITHIN THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BECOME BOTH EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS. *TR
