Consumer Description

The engine failed at 57,000 miles due to an oil pump failure. There was no warning light or check engine light. I was on the freeway and the car started to shake I was able to get off the freeway but this could have ended badly if I was unable to control the car on the freeway. The car has been at the dealer for over five weeks now waiting on a replacement engine that I am responsible for paying for even though it was not my fault to the tune of $8,500. The engines are going out on several of these cars and they need to be recalled it is a huge burden of expense and also accidents that are happening even resulting in death.
