What owners wrote

Service engine soon light came on, and the car was very slow to get up to speed and it would no exceed 15MPH. Took it to the dealership and it was initially discussed as a crankshaft sensors that needed cleaning but while cleaning it they notices metal pieces in the oil. I was "recommended" an oil change that I had to pay out of pocket. and that did not solve the issue. Took the car back to the dealer and as of right now they are looking into replacing the engine entirely. Sill no ETA
