Consumer Description
THE ENGINE RODS ARE KNOCKING, EVEN THOUGH I'VE KEPT OIL IN THE CAR. AND HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES. THE ENGINE OIL ALWAYS HAS TO BE FILLED AFTER A COUPLE WEEKS EVENTHOUGH THERE IS NO OIL LEAKS. NOW THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THE SAME THING FOR THIS CAR JUST NOT ON MINE SPECIFICALLY. NOTICED IT TODAY WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND HEARD THE KNOCKING NOISE. THIS CAR COMPANY HAS A HISTORY OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON MULTIPLE CARS
