Consumer Description

I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON PUBLIC ONLINE FORUMS TO ATTEMP TO TRACE THE ROOT OF AN AGGRESSIVE OIL LEAK THAT COMES FROM A DEFECTIVE DESIGN IN THE BOLTS HOLDING THERE TIMING CHAIN HOUSING. IT APPEARS THE BOLTS WERE OVER TIGHTENED BY THE ROBOTS FROM THE FACTORY CAUSING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM ALMOST EVERY MACAN OWNER IN FORUMS LIKE MACANFORUMS.COM AT A VERY EARLY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLES. OWNERS EXPERIENCE AGGRESSIVE OIL LEAKS IN VEHICLES WITH AS LITTLE AS 10K MILES AND UP. MY CURRENT VEHICLE YA 56K MILES AND PORSCHE WANTS TO CHARGE $10,000 TO FIX IT WHEN IT IS A COMMON KNOWN ISSUES THAT SHOULD HAD BEEN ADDRESSED BY NOW SPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAD TO FIX SO MANY MACANS BY NOW WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. MINE JUST HAPPENED TO BE OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY AND I'M LEFT WITH A 40K CAR WITH OIL LEAKS THAT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE LETHAL ENGINE FAILURES IF NOT FIXED. IF YOU GO TO MACANFORUMS.COM AND JUST DO AN OIL LEAK SEARCH YOU WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF MACAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES
