Engine started knocking, within 4 miles engine seized up will not run, only 78,000 miles on the car, original owners, maintained meticulously
Seat Belts · reported Oct 27, 2023
Seatbelts, both driver and passenger side will remain locked and in the retracted position unable to be fastened if the car is parked facing up a steep hill. Not until the car is moved to level ground can the seatbelts be put on.
Engine · at 26,000 miles · reported Oct 14, 2020
My vehicle seems to be leaking engine oil onto the exhaust. Whenever I drive for more than 5-10 minutes, the smell of burning oil is overwhelming when the car is stopped. This issue has been occurring for the past 12 mos., and I'm concerned about the future potential for an engine bay fire, not to mention the potential impact of inhaling the fumes from burning oil every time I drive the car.
