During replacement of the tires on this vehicle, the mechanic observed oil leaks on both of the front struts on this car. Although this is the first time this condition was observed, the leaks must have been present for some time because this condition probably contributed to the deterioration of the tires. One of the tires actually showed areas where the steel belts of the tire were exposed - potentially a very…

This progressed to a strange chemical gassy type smell, not a fuel gas smell, incomparable to anything i have smelled before. While trying to allow the passenger to remain cool, this gas entered the car cabin and begins to…

So the dealer recommends doing 500 to 1000 miles oil checks and it is consuming too much oil. After searching i found that there is a defect in…
