WOULD LIKE RECALL DATES RE-EXAMINED SINCE IT APPEARS TO ME MY PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE RECALL.

ENGINE LEAKING LOTS OF OIL FROM TOP (HEAD??)

BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER; COST TOTALED APPROX. $1,500; CONTACTED CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY COVERED PARTS; ENDED UP PAYING APPROX. $400. SHOULD BE RECALLED -- OUTRAGEOUS VIEWING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME THING.
