Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE NEW WITH LESS THAN 50 MILES ON IT. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL I REACHED 80,000 MILES. AT THIS TIME I NOTICED A QT. OIL LOSS AT MY OIL CHANGE (EVERY 3000 MILES). I CALLED MY FATHER WHOM IS A AUTO MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT THE POSSIBILITIES WHERE. HE ADVISED ME TO INSPECT THE DRIVES SIDE, AFTER OUTBOARD PORTION ON MY ENGINE WHERE THE HEAD AND BLOCK BOLT TOGETHER, FOR AND OIL LEAK. THIS IS WHERE MY MOTHERS 1996 NEON IS LEAKING OIL FROM. AND SURE ENOUGH, THIS IS THE EXACT SPOT WHERE MY ENGINE IS LEAKING OIL FROM. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFED. I WAS TOLD FOR $900.00 AND SOME ODD DOLLARDS MY CAR COULD BE REPAIRED. DT
