Consumer Description

THE VALVE COVER KEEPS BLOWING. THEN IT STARTS LEAKING OIL. WHEN IT BLOWS YOU CAN NOT USE THE AIR BECAUSE IT WILL DECREASE THE POWER IN THE CAR. THERE IS NO ACCELERATION WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALSO. I HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY AND IT JUST BLEW AGAIN. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND THIS IS THE 4TH TIME WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS COSTS ANYWHERE FROM $450 AND UP DEPENDING ON WHERE IT IS FIXED. UNACCEPTABLE. THE VALVE COVER GASKET BLOWS WHILE DRIVING. YOU NOTICE A CHANGE IN CAR POWER AND LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL.
