| 2000 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE | A FEW DAYS AFTER WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WE NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE MADE A "GRINDING, ROUGH" NOISE WHEN PUT INTO PARK. THERE IS ALSO A VIBRATION THAT CAN BE FELT INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER LOOKED AT THE CAR HE SAID IT HAD A "MISS" AND HE PULLED UP INFORMATION IN HIS COMPUTER AND NOTED THAT WE WERE THE 16TH PEOPLE TO COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM. HE PULLED A CAR OFF THE LOT AND COMPARED IT TO OURS. IT DID THE SAME THING. HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME WE TOOK IT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY HOOKED THE CAR UP TO THE COMPUTER AND SAID IT WAS WITHIN SPECS. AGAIN, WE WERE TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE IN HOPES THAT THERE WOULD BE LITTLE PROBLEMS WITH IT. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE WILL RUN INTO BIGGER, EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP! *AK |
