ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR WHEN I WENT IN FOR AN ORDINARY OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH WAS DONE ON JUNE 19TH AND COST US $131. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER, THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND TO REPAIR THAT PLUS THE OIL CHANGE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SERVICE THAT RAN US $764. ON OCTOBER 20TH AFTER GETTING INTO THE CAR AND STARTING IT, THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THAT WAS THE EGR VALVE WHICH WAS $313. THEN SIX DAYS LATER ON OCTOBER 26TH THE CAR STARTED TO OVERHEAT WHEN I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE, AFTER LETTING IT COOL WE CHECKED THE COOLANT JAR AND THERE WAS NOTHING IN IT. WE ADDED WATER THEN TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THIS TIME THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WHICH COST US $391. IN BETWEEN THESE HAPPENING I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FRONT BRAKES AND THE TWO ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER GARAGE AND HAD THEM CHECK THEM SINCE THEY HAD ONLY BEEN REPLACED LESS THAN ONE YEAR BEFORE AND HAD LESS THAN 15,000 MILES. WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE FRONT BRAKES. WHILE ROAD TESTING THE CAR ON NOVEMBER 25TH THE ENGINE CUT OUT AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED UP THE OIL PRESSURE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT WAS TAKEN STRAIGHT TO YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND LEFT THERE UNTIL IT WAS CHECKED ON MONDAY THE 27TH. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WAS GOING TO BE $3,400. *AK
