| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Various services performed by dealer did not correct problem---such as throttle body cleaning, checking spark plug coils, crankcase sensors, o2 sensors---after 6 months dealer decided head gasket blown which i told them from beginning plus oil usage and antifreeze usage---head gasket replaced on "extended warranty" which i did not purchase with car- so there is some acknowledgement of problem---currently oil consumption about 1 qt for 400 miles, probably the result of head gasket and pre cat causing damage to oil sweeper ring on piston which would allow oil into cylinder---thus a reason for rough running at low idle plus smoke on acceleration---no smoke on normal running since cat converter is cooking---but sure will lead to another cat converter failure- this process started with dealer 01/07. *tr |
