SO THIS IS MY COMPLAINT AND STORY SO WE WENT TO FLORIDA LIKE A WEEK AND CAME BACK TO TEXAS. WHEN WE GOT BACK HOME I STARTED TO HEAR AN NOISE ON THE ENGINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT WASN'T NORMAL IT SOUNDED LIKE A DIESEL TRUCK. SO THE NEXT DAY I HAD TO GO TO WORK AND I WAS COMING BACK HOME THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH CONTINUOUSLY AND CAR STARTED TO SHAKE SO I DROVE IT TO A AUTO PARTS STORE, SO THEY CAN CHECK THE CODE AND THEY SAID IT WAS A PISTON 3 MISFIRE. I TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AGAIN AND HE SAID THE SPARK PLUG HAD OIL AND HE SAID THAT WAS NOT A GOOD SIGN HE SAID IT MIGHT BE THE ENGINE OR A BENT VALVE. FIRST OF ALL THIS IS OUR ONLY CAR AND DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX IT. A USE ENGINE COST 3,000 AND UP AND IF ITS THE HEAD IT COST LIKE 1900 AND I'VE BEEN READING A LOT OF BAD REVIEWS OF THIS CAR I REALLY NEED HELP I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX MY CAR WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5. *TR
