Consumer Description

ENGINE KNOCKS UNDER LOAD. KNOCK DISAPPEARS AT IDLE AND LOW LOAD. DEALER IS REPLACED ENGINE...ENGINE WAS NOT DISMANTLED TO DETERMINE ACTUAL CAUSE. REPLACEMENT ENGINE INSTALLED ALSO BLEW LAST WEEK (9/1/2000) AND THE DEALER IS ORDERING A SECOND REPLACEMENT. I HAD TO PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE FIRST REPLACEMENT AND MAY HAVE TO PAY SOME TYPE OF DEDUCTIBLE WITH THIS SUBSEQUENT REPLACEMENT.

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THE DEALER HAS BEEN MORE THAN HELPFUL IN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT THE ENGINES BEING DELIVERED APPEAR TO BE REMANUFACTURED ENGINES.
