Consumer Description

MY CAR STARTED SHOWING ENGINE OVERHEATING AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO DEALER THEY CONFIRMED A CRACK LEAKING FLUID INTO ENGINE. RECALL WORK DONE IN 2014 WAS TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO BUY A NEW $6000 ENGINE TO HAVE IT RUN AGAIN. THEY WON'T COVER IT UNDER THEIR RECALL. I WROTE THE BBB BUT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE CAR JUST TURNED 6 YRS OLD. I'M THE ONLY OWNER AND PURCHASED IT NEW.
