problem #1

Jan 122013

Rio 4-cyl

  • 1,768 miles
I detect a noise coming from the motor and went to service department of the dealer on January 14, they make a test drive and said that maybe the problem is with a "lifter" they gave me an appointment for service for the 28 of January. On January 22 I left my car at the service department a few days later, when I call for information they told me that the manufacturer decide to replace the complete motor due to a "recall" for some defectives on the unit that were posted. At this time I just know that the car still in service waiting for the motor. No warning lights turn on the panel ever and I just notice that the outside of the unit is too hot when I turn it off and park.
