Consumer Description
I HAD TO REPLACE AN ENGINE AT 30K MILES DUE TO 'METAL IN OIL". NEVER ONCE MISSED AN OIL CHANGE AND NO WARNING OF ANY ISSUE UNTIL CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WHILE TRYING TO TURN RIGHT ONTO SIDE STREET.. AFTER REPLACING ENGINE HAD TO GET NEW WHEEL SENORS AS THEY WENT BAD 2 WEEKS LATER. ONE AND A HALF YEARS LATER HERE WE ARE DASH FLASHING SAYING 'SERVICE STABILITRACK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGIRE POWER REDUCES". CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ON. MECHANIC SAYS I WILL NEED A NEW ACCELORATOR PEDAL ALONG WITH THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR ITSELF AT THIS POINT IS UNDER 50K MILES. ALSO PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT GO UP OR DOWN WITH DRIVE SIDE DOOR LEVERS.
