I purchased the vehicle in 2009 it previously had two owners. I've had minor repairs done already. However, I was curious to know why the vehicle was recalled. As I looked into it I found that im having problems with the engine sensor which I had repaired 2 months ago because the check engine came on but I keep smelling a burning smell and visible smoke.
