Consumer Description
Flashing check engine light came on. Took this to the dealership and they found that one of the cylinders misfired and a sparkplug has fouled oil. Piston rings needed to be replaced. This happened because of oil buildup when 3 of the cylinders stop firing when the engine is in "fuel efficient" mode. As I understand it, the vehicle design is to turn off half the cylinders when I drive efficiently and that causes buildup over time. This is a ticking timebomb that will eventually cause this damage and render the vehicle undrivable.
