Description of the problem | Dec 18, 2018, dear sirs, i bought this car new on oct 13, 2017. In december 2017 i took it to the dealer because it took a very long time for the engine to warm up, if i turned the heater on the temp gauge would go to completely cold. The dealer told me this was normal. I just found out today that these cars have an engine problem with gasoline getting into the oil and diluting it. I checked the oil and it was 1/4" above the full mark. The oil was changed in january of 2018 at 4200 miles, it now has 7200 miles on it. I will now take it in to the dealer to have the oil changed again. These two problems, as i understand it are related in that a cold engine will allow more fuel past the piston rings until it warms up. I took the car to the dealer about this problem in dec 2017 when the car had 700 miles on it. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). *cc |
