Consumer Description

It wouldn't pass smog due to an air/fuel intake. Coded every time. This caused it to go into " low engine power" after the mechanic looked at it, he said the oil had gotten into the manifold, the tubes and the turbo which apparently is a design flaw, and now my turbo is on its last leg. which is going to cost thousands. I am told it will do the same thing after a a year or so and will have to repeat this process. I can't pass smog. There is too much air coming out, and you can't block the airflow. So basically, I will have to replace the turbo, and the manifold, we already put in an oil tank to divert it. If I had known this was going to happen, I wouldn't have purchased this vehicle. I need to travel and now I do not feel safe in this car. This issue should be on the recall list to repair for those unsuspecting customers. I am in the hole for the repairs that need to be done currently as well as 3 more years of paying this off.
