Orginally motor mounts were broken, repairs were made. In addition, engine head gaskets were leaking and needed to be replaced. No extended warranty. Dealer indicated that can remedy problem but at owner's expense. Provide further information.
The dealer is trying to blame excessive carbon buildup in an eight month old engine on poor gas. Their proposed a fix is running engine cleaner through the combustion system. It hardly seems practical to assume that the combustion system will have to be cleaned every 12,000 miles on a modern automobile running on gasoline from national companies such as amoco and shell. The dealer claims that this is a common problem with all cars nowadays.
When driving at any speed and going up hills, the consumer has to put the foot on the gas pedal hard to get some speed. On wet pavement the vehicle really doesn't have power. The vehicle will downshift, and when driving it will do light shifting. Vehicle is in the shop, and the dealer said the vehicle passed all the fuel tests, but the problem still occurs. The dealer did some work on the oil pan.
