Consumer Description

After taking excellent care of this vehicle with regular oil changes, the car suddenly had engine failure on the highway. Was luckily able to pull over. Turned vehicle off then on and car was in safety mode to get to mechanic. This was 2022. Addressed rear main seal at a cost of 1900$. Then in march of 2023 vehicle suddenly was leaking excess oil. PCV orifice is plugged and it was cleaned. Pressure test and found that it was producing 7 pounds of pressure instead of 2! Now we need to replace engine! This definitely a safety issue and I am concerned that there has not been a recall. This could have resulted in a crash on the highway or a engine fire!
