Consumer Description

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON 1ST THEN A VARIOUS OTHER PROBLES BEGAN OCCURING AS WE TRIED TO GET OUR VEHICLE HOME. WHEN WE GOT IT TO THE DEALER'S REPAIR SHOP WE WERE TOLD THAT THE #2 FUEL INJECTOR HAD STARTED LEAKING AND FILLED THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH GAS. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 4 MONTHES LATER WHEN THE #5 INJECTOR STARTED LEAKING. BOTH TIMES THE DEALER TOLD US THAT WE WERE LUCKY THAT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START ON FIRE. *AK
