Oil pan and oil leveler monitor switch inside pan completely rusted out, this is obviously due to defective materials and workmanship, complete lack of quality with this brand. The manufacture is selling inferior and defective, far from quality to the general public costs to repair it was 540.00 on component that is covered in oil at all times....imagine that. I have demanded immediate re-imbursement from the manufacturer.
