Description of the problem | The vehicle engine had a clicking/ticking noise for well over a year. We brought this issue up with the service dept and were told it was nothing to worry about. While driving home 1 night on the highway the vehicle started to hesitate/stutter and we had a problem accelerating while driving. We drove the vehicle for 20 miles at 40 mph with the hazards on i95. We found out from service the next day that the issue was a damaged camshaft due to a failed rocker arm. All rockers and lifters needed to be replaced along with the valve cover gaskets and intake seals. Since the issue occured out of warranty i was stuck with footing the whole 1961. 49 bill even though i brought the issue up with service while under warranty. |
