Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This car broke two camshafts (the original and after instaling a new one, the first time the mechanic turn on the auto it broke the camshaft again apparently without any reason. i spent more than $3,000 to fully repair the vehicle's engine but finished buying another engine. at this moment is in the mechanic installing the engine. 4 months of paying the car, the insurance and the mechanic and parts without knowing what really happened. 3 mechanics checked the car and found it has a rare lubrication problem in the engine because it does not delivers oil to the other parts of the engine. the oilpump is in good condition and everything seems normal but when you turn on the auto it breaks the camshaft again.*ak
