We had owned my car for 4 years and had no problems what so ever. Then, and people please learn from my mistake, my dad once said, if you grocery shop their, don't take your car there to get your oil changed. I had taken my car to Wal-Mart to get an oil change and they informed me that the last time I was there, they stripped my oil pan! When they took it to Brickners to get it fixed, Brickners informed me that my car had a miss fire, (like I couldn't tell.....) and that my cam sensor was bad. They wanted to charge me 250 just for the sensor!!!! Please don't pay this!!!! Anybody can replace this sensor. Just get a diagram to show you where it is. It's as simple as that. It's hard to say what the symptoms all were because my car did need a tune up at that same time. The people at Brickners did tell me that there was oil around the cam sensor because the cam sensor gasket was bad. ( The cam sensor and the cam sensor gasket are all one part.)
