SHE THEN HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 04V357000 AND 04V394000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), BUT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH PRODUCED ERROR CODE PO342 THAT PERTAINED TO THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HER WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS; THEREFORE, SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER RECALL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WOULD APPROXIMATELY COST MORE THAN $200. NO ADDITIONAL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNT MAY HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES.

THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE HIM $135 FOR INSPECTING THE VEHICLE IF THE VEHICLE DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE SET OF LOT NUMBERS, BETWEEN 1000 LOT NUMBER OR 2321 LOT NUMBER, WHICH WOULD COVER THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT UNDER THE RECALL THEY WERE OBLIGATED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE FOR FREE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50000. THERE HAS BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE.*AK
