NHTSA complaint #703826, filed 1999-02“1st the timing belt went and I needed to have engine rebuilt. 1000 miles later it happened again and mechanic said the oil pump is causing the timing belt to go and I need a whole new engine. Dealer says that recall was already performed on my car by previous owner and I am out of luck. 86,000 miles is way to premature for an engine repair, ecspecially when manufacture knows this problem exists. They should pay for car repair. Please help!!!”

I was also told that I needed a new oxygen sensor. This was the first of 2 recalls I had performed on my car. When I questioned the dealer about already having the o2 sensor recall done, they informed me that they had no record of having that recall done on my car. …”
