Consumer Description
AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST TUNE UP WOULD BE DUE AT 10,000 MILES. THEREFORE I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE, HOVER WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THE FIRST TIME AT 10,000 MILES I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO NEED FOR TUNE UP THAT THE COMPUTER WOULD DISPLAY A MESSAGE TELLING ME WHEN TO SERVICE IT. ONE WEEK LATER IT WAS DISPLAYING THAT IT NEEDED OIL, SO I BROUGHT IT IN. ONE QUART OF OIL WAS ADDED ON THE SPOT. AFTER 11,000 IT WAS TELLING ME TO SERVICE THE CAR IN 1200 MILES SO AT 12200 I BROUGHT IT IN. ONCE AGING I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT TIME. NOW IT IS ONCE AGAIN DISPLAYING A MESSAGE THAT OIL LEVEL IS LOW BUT I STILL DON'T HAVE THE MESSAGE FOR SERVICE NEEDED. THE CAR NOW HAS 14000 MILES. I JUST DO NOT WANT THE ENGINE TO BLOW OUT AND THE DEALER BLAME IT ON ME FOR NOT BRINGING IN ON TIME. *TR
