Consumer Description

A RECALL ON THE VALVE- COVER GASKET POTENTIALLY CAUSING A FIRE FROM OIL LEAKAGE HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE LOCAL PAPER, BUT NOT ON MY MAKE/MODEL. I HAVE THE OIL LEAKAGE AND CAN SMELL IT BURNING OFF SOMETHING. THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION. MY CAR HAS 74,000 MILES.
