Consumer Description

ATTENTION REALLY NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THIS PROBLEM. IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT A RE-CALL OF SOME SORT SHOULD BE INITIATED FOR THE HEAD GASKETS ON THESE VEHICLES. THERE IS SPECULATION THAT SOME SORT OF "SECRET WARRANTY" THAT COVERS UP TO 5 YEARS/100,000 MILES EXISTS. IT IS THE DUTY AND OBLIGATION OF THE NHSTA TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE KINDS OF THINGS ARE TAKEN CARE OF SO THAT CONSUMERS ARE PROTECTED AGAINST SECRETIVE WARRANTIES THAT ONLY APPEAR WHEN THE ISSUES ARE PRESSED. PLEASE HELP!!!!!. *AK
