Anyone had the same problem I had with the motor?

Welp...when I first got my car, the motor blew up three times before 8,000 miles, YES 8,000 and they kept telling me I was racing the first two times

, but I wasn't at the time. Then the third time, they were very hesitent on saying it wasn't my fault any of the times, but they did. I am a little mad, but also I am happy b/c the fixed it all three times for no charge and now they change my oil for free and give me free car washes every oil change or when I come to the shop. I was just curious if anyone else had the same problems with the D17 motor's pistons slamming into the spark plugs???

Da1lyDr1ver has a spectacular aura about

screw the head gasket. if the motor "blew up" on you 3 times and you didnt cause it what so ever then i believe you can file for the lemon law or whatever and get yourself a new car.

Re: Anyone had the same problem I had with the motor?

what the hell are you guys doing to your engines? I have 115k on my 2k1 coupe and the thing runs like new. CLutch is still strong. All I do is change the fluids and we are good to go.
