If they replaced the engine, how can the piston rings be bad?
Having a N* replaced 3x seems ridiculous to me unless you were sold three bad engines to begin with, BTW how does a bad Idle control DTC automatically point to piston rings??? I think you should seek a second opinion.
another problem...
so the service ride control also comes on with the idol control. the dealership knew this and we brought i tback right away after getting the engine "replaced" they told us service ride control shouldnt be a problem its just because they had it on the hoist too long, just take it on the highway and then reset it.it should be fine.:shifty:
Me i dont believe a damn word these guys are saying.
i also think they just replaced the engine cover did minor work just to get us by and wrote down a different vin # on it in yellow crayon.
anybody have anything to say id appreciate it.
thanks
