problem #1

Dec 101998

Neon

  • miles
The dealer is trying to blame excessive carbon buildup in an eight month old engine on poor gas. Their proposed a fix is running engine cleaner through the combustion system. It hardly seems practical to assume that the combustion system will have to be cleaned every 12,000 miles on a modern automobile running on gasoline from national companies such as amoco and shell. The dealer claims that this is a common problem with all cars nowadays.
