In brief, friend's 08 Forenza, ~40k miles or so. Went in for a recall (wiring harness), while there the dealer told her the head gasket was leaking ($700 repair). She left the dealer, car died on way home.
Dealer says they screwed up, head gasket sealant didn't set long enough, and damaged the lifters. Dealer has given her a loaner, says they will replace lifters.
Does this sound totally fishy? (does to me).
