The engine started knocking. Took to the dealer. Turns out I may have forgotten to change the oil for approx 14,00 miles...however....no warning light ever came on to remind me. No oil light, no engine light...nothing. Now I am facing a possible big expense in repair...waiting to hear from the shop as I type this. These warning systems are in place to avoid this situation. Had it worked properly, I would have been reminded to get the oil changed.
