Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: For the pc system problem, i had noticed that the pc valve was leaking oil around it, so i replaced the component on may 12,2000. by december, i noticed that the car had some sort of problem with a noted drop in performance and fuel economy. so i decided, before bringing the car in for maintenance, to visually check the fluids, and wear components. i ended up finding sludge in the engine, created by water in the oil. when dodge/hyundai of paramus checked-out the car they told me the problem was a clogged pc system and it was not covered by any warrany, so i paid for the work. for the transmission problem i noticed that it was leaking, and when the dealer in paramus checked-out the problem, they told me that someone had over-torqued the oil pan, blowing out the gasket. they told me that the problem should be warranteed by altman in n.charleston, since they did the 30k check-up. when i informed altman, they told me that paramus should have done the work as warranteed. so, mike at altman told me i would receive a refund, but i never did, and mike doen't work there anymore, and no one else knows anything. i talked to hyun. motor amer. cust. service, and i am currently waiting for a call back. what i want to know is if either of these is covered by warranty, and if so what then?
