Consumer Description

WHEN I TURN ON THE A/C THIS SMELLS LIKE OIL BURNING, AND I HAVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AS WELL. THIS IS BECAUSE OIL IS LEAKING IN TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. I READ THAT THIS IS A TYPICAL ISSUE IN THESE CARS. I THOUGHT THIS IS A PARTICULAR CAR'S DEFECT, BUT I READ THAT IS VERY COMMON ISSUE IN THE 2008 ESCALADES.
