Consumer Description

FAULTY COMPUTER/RECALLS I PURCHASED THE USED VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO AND A MONTH AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX, BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE, BUT RATHER THE COMPUTER. BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY COMPUTER ISSUE, IT HAS CAUSED OTHER ISSUES IN MY CAR, INCLUDING FAULTY READING AND MY INABILITY TO KNOW IF SOMETHING DANGEROUS ACTUALLY WAS OCCURRING IN MY VEHICLE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED, BECAUSE THIS KEEPS HAPPENING AND EACH YEAR I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED.
