Consumer Description
END OF LAST YEAR MY CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING. IT HAD NO OIL. AFTER PUTTING OIL STILL WOULD NOT START. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS FROM CAR THAT IT WAS LOW ON OIL. IT WAS IN MIDDLE OF TIME FOR NEXT OIL CHANGE. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND THERE WAS NONE. I PUT IN COMPLAINT. THERE WAS LIKE 9 COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME THING. I REPLACED MOTOR WITH A USED ONE CAUSE I AM ON DISABILITY AND THAT'S ALL I COULD AFFORD. MY FIRST MOTOR HAD 115,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER REPLACING MOTOR, I HAVE BEEN CHECKING OIL REGULARLY AFRAID WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN SINCE SAME TYPE MOTOR. SURE ENOUGH BEEN HAVING TO ADD 2 QUARTS EVERY COUPLE MONTHS IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THERE IS NO TRACE OF OIL LEAKING LIKE LAST MOTOR, NONE ON CONCRETE IN DRIVEWAY. I DON'T DRIVE VERY MUCH, AVERAGE DISTANCE IS 20 MILES OR LESS ROUND TRIP FEW TIMES WEEK. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS MOTOR AND WHY NO NOTIFICATIONS THAT IT IS LOW ON OIL SINCE THERE ISN'T AN OIL GAUGE IN CAR. *TR
