I have recently took my '03 TL-S into the dealer for a the Timing Belt Tensioner Recall (about 2 months ago). After I picked up the car, the acceleration seems stiff but what the hell. What I didn't notice was that the car was leaking oil. To make a long story short, my engine oil lights keep coming on and today after a trip to LA and back my car is out of oil--I stopped by a gas station on the way to put in a quart because the light came on. I had no idea that this thing was leaking oil until tonight when I got home--could the dealer have f#cked up my car? I am gonna have it towed to the dealer tomorrow.

 

It's possible that they messed up your car, it appears that they messed up my wife's TL when they replaced the tensioner. Even if they didn't it should be covered under warranty- the leaky oil that is.

 

i would bring it to the daler and complain

 

i have an 03tl-s & never received a recall notice on a tensioner. is this a recall for all the 03's?
