Description of the problem | My car has been fitting the description of a specific recall on the same year and model. (i. E.: recall #12v288000 - date: 6/22/2012 - component engine and engine cooling) i purchased my car through carmax less than a year ago and have had multiple issues including, airbag senor problems, rmp issues, alternator replacement, etc. I've dealt with an oil leak from the valve cover most recently. I took it in for an oil change and found out there was a leak which was so bad it saturated everything in the engine area collecting near the engine and exhaust system. This lead to an awful burning smell. The valve cover was replaced and now two weeks later there is still an awful burning smell coming from both inside and outside the car. The valve cover doesn't seem to be leaking oil, and i don't see any weird objects or debris in the engine area. The recall previously mentioned fits my current problem to a t - but according to my vin there have been 0 recalls. The car is not dependable at this point due to risk of fume inhalation and potential fire. It has been in the shop multiple times since i bought it and i have barely put 6,000 miles on it since purchase. |
