Consumer Description

RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED AFTER RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONER THAT A MOLDY MUSTY SMELL CAME FROM THE CAR. MY HUSBAND CHANGED THE CABIN AIR FILTER, THAT ONLY HELPED FOR JUST A FEW WEEKS. I HAD MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECK IT OUT. THEY TOLD ME THE CONDENSER NEED A FOAM SPRAY TO KILL THE BACTERIA AT MY COST. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE BUT THAT WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE FIX. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT WE ARE BREATHING ALL THIS CONTAMINATED AIR. *TR
