Don't need any receipts, but if the failure is due to something other than the debris issue, no lifetime engine warranty, but a 2016 with 50k miles is still covered under warranty unless they can prove overheating destroyed the engine.
Guess you'd better get ready and put your gloves on.
Trust me, this is all on them. The only time it could have possibly over heated is when the knock sensor/update they “installed”, failed a few months ago, putting my engine in limp mode on the highway (their fault). Even then, my Temp light never came on. But I have every receipt, document, recall paper work, and ect if needs be. I heard one way they try to void people warranty, is by going over the oil change interval but I’ve always got mines changed at least 500 miles before the interval they’ve set.
The one thing I’m puzzled on is how long the metal shavings have been in my engine, this is something they should have noticed IF it happened before my last service(s). They do check this stuff right? Wouldn’t they visibly see this in the coolant and oil?
I even had a tech tell me they won’t change my plugs until 100k miles and wanted to charge me $400 to do so when I complained to them about the engine hesitation months ago. How is this possible? At that point I knew something wasn’t right.
Im still under the 60k warranty and engine is still running as of now. But still debating on trading this car since the warranty is ending in 1000 miles. Don’t want to take a chance of running it till the (“CEL comes on” as the dealer would say). Which could be after my warranty is up. I’m mind blown how the CEL hasn’t came on with Shavings, knocking and potential misfiring happening. ☹
Part of me kinda feels like either the dealer botched my car with recall service work they did months ago or there’s another potential recall/tsb that hasn’t been brought to attention yet. Idk if you remember but I had made a post a couple months ago about recall work on my engine. I just wish I had the knowledge to check things after that situation and possibly saving my engine at that point. My car has never been the same since that day.
I appreciate your help Turbonut, I’m sorry if my posts are long and sound emotional to you guys, just hate what’s happening to my car. I will keep you posted if anything changes. ??
I hope I’m not the only one that discovered shavings this early ☹.
