Consumer Description

VEHICLE LOSSES POWER, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODES P0008, P0017, P0009- TOOK IT TO SHOP AND THEY SAID THE OIL WAS 3 QTS LOW. I JUST HAD IT CHANGED WITHIN 60 DAYS. THEY CHANGED THE OILS AND CLEARED THE CODES WHICH WERE SHOWING. I ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGES AND A NEW FRONT LEFT TRANSAXLE INSTALLED. WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME, WHICH IS WITHIN 3 MILES OF SHOP. ENGINE CAME BACK ON WITH THE SAME THREE CODES GIVEN ABOVE. CALEED BACK TO SHOP NEXT DAY, THEY SAID ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE PULLED AND THE CHART SAID ABOUT A 21 HOURS JOB (THEY CHARGE $68/HR). AND SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT $2500 TO FIX. I SEE MANY POSTS ONLINE WITH THIS VEHICLE CONCERNING THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THE TIMING CHAINS/BELTS IN THESE CARS AND LIKE MODELS.
