THIS WAS A PROGRAM CAR. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS REPEATEDLY WITH THIS CAR. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, IT STARTED USING OIL. THEY REBUILT THE HEAD. THEN ABOUT 8 MONTHS OR SO LATER IT STARTED USING OIL AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY "SAID" THEY PUT ON A NEW HEAD. HOWEVER, I DONT BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE, NOW 8 MONTHS LATER IT IS ONCE AGAIN USING OIL. ALSO, I CAN BE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE ENGINE WILL "HICCUP" AND JERK REALLY HARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTING TO THE DEALER, THAT I HEAR A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING ANY OIL. BUT, THEY JUST TELL ME THAT I AM HEARING THINGS. I AM PAYING FOR THIS LEMON WITH MY HARD EARNED MONEY. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THEM TO LET ME TRADE IT BACK TO THEM AND BUY A BRAND NEW CAR, BUT THEY INSIST THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MINE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T GET INVOLVED. THAT IT WAS BETWEEN ME AND THE DEALER. I NEED HELP!!! ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS!*AK
