#727645August 12, 2000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
VEHICLE HAS INTERMITENT LOSS OF POWER WHICH CAN OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED FIVE TIMES; YET, THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING. THE ENGINE MAKES A TICKING NOISE, AND POWER DROPS TO ABOUT 35 MPH. DEALER REPLACED FUEL FILTER, FUEL PUMP, FUEL GUAGE, O2 SENSOR. THIS TIME, THE DEALER INSISTS THAT IT MUST BE A CLOGGED CATALYTIC CONVERTER. IT IS DANGEROUS TO LOSE VEHICLE POWER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, AND IT IS AGGRAVATING TO BE TOLD BY A DEALER THAT THE "PROBLEM" HAS BEEN "FIXED" FOR THE FIFTH TIME."

AFTER A LENGTH DISCUSSION WITH SERVICE MANAGER, BRYAN RADIN, TODAY I WAS TOLD THE WORK WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE SPACE IN THE REPAIR DATES AND I WOULD BE CHARGE THE FULL RATES.
