Description of the problem | On august 19, 2017, i was on the road, drove passed south center mall when i felt that there was something wrong with my engine because it wasn't driving fast as usual. I pulled over to the side of the road, at inspirus credit union in tukwila to check the engine if it was okay when i smelled a faint scent of smoke. I drove back home to park it for fear of the engine exploding. Our family mechanic checked the engine and said that the fan is too loud as if something is causing it to be overworked. The engine fan has always been loud after my oil change on july 21, 2017. The engine light has not been turned off since the oil change and i know that there is something wrong with the vehicle. Also, i entered the vin number online and it said that the recall on my car is incomplete. The dealer did not inform me about the recall nor mentioned anything about it when i bought it. They did not give me a written letter of the recall or even specified the recall being incomplete. |
