Description of the problem | I had my car for a year. When i first got my car , there was a knocking noise that came from the engine , i took it back to carmax to fix and they stated they did. My car ran good for a while and around august or september after leaving from work that same noise started again. This time it was bad and i almost got into a wreck. I took it to a mechanic they stated that i needed my engine replaced. I have seen that this is a ongoing issue with these models. I also show that there is a recall on my vehicle and my car is showing those exact signs. I have documentation of information from the mechanic and the cost of the labor and new engine |
