Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Check engine light came on and vehicle began to run rough. after service work was performed to diagnose the problem it was found out that two bolts that hold the rocker arm assembly on for cylinder #3 were in fact stripped and fell out of the engine head. upon discovering this it was determined that checking the other side of the engine would also be prudent. there we also found one stripped bolt on the head. this engine had never before been apart. we bought the vehicle new and were shocked that such a mechanical failure could happen at 62,000 miles on a three year old vehicle!!! *nm
