Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS ONLY 17,000 MILES AND THE "HEAD GASKETS" ARE LEAKING. WHEN I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE I WAS PASSED THE "3 YEAR/36'000 MILES WARRANTY" AND THE REPAIR WILL NOT BE COVERED. I'M BEING TOLD BY MY REGULAR MECHANIC THAT "HEAD GASKETS" SHOULDN'T FAIL AT SUCH A LOW MILES DRIVEN!!!
