Consumer Description

OUR VAN KEEPS RUNNING OUT OF OIL COMPLETELY BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS DUE, DEALER HAS ALREADY REPLACED OIL PAN AND REAR MAIN SEAL. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND THEY ARE SAYING THE REAR MAIN SEAL AGAIN. DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE BECAUSE THERE IS NO OIL IN PARKING SPOT OR UNDER VEHICLE NEAR REAR MAIN SEAL. ONLINE MANY PEOPLE REPORT THAT IT IS A ENGINE PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MOTOR... SO WHY ARE PEOPLE HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS WHEN THIS MOTOR SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW BEING REPAIRED OR REPLACING REAR MAIN SEAL AGAIN.
