Description of the problem | Car was like new for a few months, driven to and from orlando maybe 4 times, but mostly use it for work to take my daughter to school then it started the check engine light being on, then shortly, car started jerking while parked, or on brake, and the "check stabili track control" light comes on, and then would just turn off. I would start smelling a very strong burnt smell but no oil was falling to the floor, but once i stopped driving there would've smoke everywhere. Was told there is a vacuum leak coming from pcv which is built in valve cover... Have had valve cover changed 3 times in 3 weeks and each time, it looked like someone died under my hood and bled oil! Am told that there is too much pressure coming in and so causes oil to find a way out and leaks it spills it slashes, and it's a mystery! Also, there is another leak that all of a sudden strated from the side of the engine! When doing my research, there are soooooo many people with the same problems! This needs to be some sort of recall. Please help! |
