Consumer Description

J02 RECALL DONE IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR FOR REGISTRATION, DID AN OIL CHANGE AND FOUND METAL SHAVING AND THEN THE ENGINE GAVE OUT IN APRIL. CORPORATE WASN'T ANY HELP, EVEN AFTER FINDING FIPG IN OIL PICK UP. PAID FOR REBUILT, AND THE CAR HAS A ROUGH IDLE ON COLD START. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK 3 TIMES. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AND SAID FIPG WAS FOUND IN OIL PICK. AND TESTED EVERYTHING. REBUILT WASN'T DONE RIGHT FROM FIRST DEALER. FIRST DEALER ALSO DAMAGED THE HOOD DURING THE REBUILT. THE HOOD HASN'T BEEN PROPERLY FIXED. PLEASE HELP IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE OR POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
