Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED AND THERE WAS A SMELL OF BURNING OIL. I NOTICED DARK OIL ON THE PAVEMENT. I WAS GOOD ABOUT CHANGING MY OIL PER MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDATION. I WASN'T AWARE THAT OTHER SIMILAR CARS HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I WISH A RECALL HAD BEEN DONE PRIOR TO THIS MAJOR LOSS.
