NHTSA Complaint #11351057 — 2012 MV-1 MV-1

WHEN STATIONARY I NOTICED MAJOR LEAKING COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. I CALLED THE MECHANIC AND HE STATED IT WAS COOLANT .UPON INVESTIGATING DEEPER AND FURTHER HE DIAGNOSED MY CAR AS HAVING A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. AT LEAST. DUE TO THE FACT MY CAR HAD OVERHEATED THERE IS A CHANCE THAT MORE DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE ENGINE AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN FACT THE SAFEST OPTION WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 47,000 MILES ON IT AND I DRIVE ONLY ON SUBURBAN STREETS. TO BE CERTAIN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED EXACTLY THE SAME THING. THEY BOTH STATED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE WITH THE NUMBER OF MILES ON MY VEHICLE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THEY STATED TO LOOK INTO A POSSIBLE FACTORY DEFECT CLAIM AND RECALL. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER BY LETTER AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO COOPERATE.
