Consumer Description

On March 9th 2023, the very first time my engine light came on while I was on my way to work so I decided to take it and drop off at the dealership on the way which is 10 miles away. About 2 miles before I get to the dealership, my SUV started cutting out and the engine light started flashing. I left at the dealership and they called me later the same day and told me that i needed to replace my engine that antifreeze was leaking into my engine. My last oil change was in late Nov 22 and it was 700 miles from needing another one. My SUV only has 99837 miles on it and should last many more than that. The last oil change I had did not report of any unknown fluid in my pan and that the oil appeared to only be normal use.
