Consumer Description

FOR THE FIRST FEW WEEKS AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE, A STRONG "BURNING OIL" SMELL IS EMITTED INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT (THE SMELL IS STRONGEST AT SLOW SPEEDS AND DURING IDLING). ALSO, A GREASY FILM BUILDS UP ON THE INTERIOR OF THE WINDSHIELD DURING THIS TIME. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DEALERS (INCLUDING MORANDE FORD AND TOWN & COUNTRY AUTO GROUP) AND NON-DEALER MECHANICS TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM (NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS DURING 1997 - 2000). NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. *AK
