@justinfreakin: Her Jeep Came Back From Oil Change With The Engine In The Backseat (WSB) DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ga. — A Douglas County woman says a routine oil change left her car undriveable and her engine sitting in the backseat of her car. She called Channel 2 Consumer Investigator Justin Gray after seeing his report on a similar problem from another customer at the same store. Jihan Johnston-McGlotten said her 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee was severely damaged after an oil change at a Take 5 location on Thornton Road. “What they pulled out of my car looks like something from a sci-fi movie,” she said. Photos show extensive engine damage, along with what mechanics say is a piece of a towel found inside the engine. Johnston-McGlotten believes the damage started during the oil change when an oil pan was not properly replaced. “The manager told me that I forfeited the warranty that is on the contract of an oil change because I did not bring it back to them,” she said. Her case is the second reported by Channel 2 Action News at the same Take 5 location this month. Regina Lee said the engine in her 2023 BMW X3 was destroyed after an oil change at the same Douglas County shop. In that case, the oil drain plugs were not properly reinstalled. “I just want them to take full accountability for their mistakes, that’s all,” Lee said. #news #lawsuit #oilchange
