Consumer Description
ON MY WAY TO WORK NOTICED THE CAR LACKING SOME POWER WHEN ACCELERATING TO GET ON HIGHWAY. OVER THE NEXT 2 WEEKS CAR STARTED SOUNDING DIFFERENT. (LIKE DRIVING WITH AIR BREATHER OFF) WHILE CHANGING OIL TODAY NOTICED AIR INTAKE TUBE IS CRACKED. WHICH COULD ALLOW DIRT AND MOISTURE TO BYPASS FILTER AND GO INTO ENGINE CAUSING DAMAGE. NOW THE CAR HAS 52130 MILES ON IT 2013 SONIC LS. AIR INTAKE TUBE SHOULD LAST LONGER THEN 2 YEARS. *TR
