Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM CAR MAX USED ABOUT 15 MONTHS AGO AND MY VEHICLES ENGINE HAS GONE OUT ALREADY AT ONLY 85480 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT MY ENGINE IS ABOUT TO THROW A ROD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE CLAIMING THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEIR CARS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE MECHANIC ABOUT THIS HE SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN COUNTLESS CUSTOMERS WITH THIS ISSUE AND HE HAS FOUND THAT THE VALVES IN THE ENGINE ARE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW THE OIL TO FLOW THROUGH THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO GO OUT.
