Description of the problem | Valve pan gasket and valve cover gasket gave out (blew) 120 miles after the manufacturers warranty ran out. Have replaced once and it has blown out again. This is not right. At this same time, the automatic transmission started making a clunk sound when shifting up or down. If a car manufacturer cannot make a car that lasts well beyond their pathetic warranty, then they should be held responsible.
