ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT CHECKED AND THE OIL WAS FULL SO I CALLED THE DEALER AND TOOK IT IN. MELISSA SAID IT WAS A GOOD THING THE LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE IF NOT THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE LOCKED BECAUSE THERE WAS SLUDGE IN THERE AND THE MOTOR WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OIL. SHE SAID IT WAS CLEANED OUT AND THE WARRANTY COVERED THE LARGE PART OF IT AND MY COST WAS $106.00. ON JUNE 12TH THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTS TO TICK. I CHECK THE OIL AND IT'S FULL SO I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND MELISSA TELLS ME THE ONLY WAY IT COULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IS THAT I NEED PROOF OF ALL THE OIL CHANGES AND $300.00 TO GET STARTED. IT'S EVIDENT TO ME THAT THE CAR HAD ENGINE PROBLEMS FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND I NEED TO BE REIMBURSED. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE AND IT IS ESSENTIAL TO MY FINANCIAL WELL BEING. PLEASE HELP QUICKLY.
