Consumer Description
SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 16 IT HAS BEEN BACK FOR SERVICE NURMOUS TIMES, STARTING 2 DAYS AFTER DELIVERY! MAJOR COMPLAINT HAS BEEN COOLENT LOSS AND BURNING COOLANT SMELL FOLLOWING WITH A OIL LEAK AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE 10 MILES ON IT SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE ISSUES SO I DEMANDED A DIFFERENT VEHICLE, WAS REFUSED DUE TO DEMOGRAPHICS! WELL THE DEALER BRUSHES EVERYTHING OFF AS ALL DO SAY IT'S NORMAL IT HAPPENS, AS TIME PASSES IT GOES BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SAME ISSUE THEY REPLACED A OIL SEAL AGAIN AND COOLANT LOSS AND SMELL IS NORMAL TO THEM, THEY CAN'T FIND ANY ISSUES, I TELL THEM IT'S AFTER LONG DRIVES WELL EACH TIME THEY HAVE IT OVER A WEEK. TO BOOT THEY IGNORE MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ROTTEN EGG SMELL I GET ON ACCELERATION! THEY TELL ME IT'S PROBABLY THE GAS I'M USING, MIND YOU THIS IS VERBAL AFTER THE FACT, THEY DID NOT WANT TO PUT IT ON THE WORK ORDER. THEY ORDERED A NEW STEERING WHEEL DUE TO IT PEELING. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT TECHNICALLY I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS IF THEY DO NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT I HAD TO COVER THE TECHS TIME, WELL I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN AGAIN FOR NO COOLANT IN THE OVERFLOW FOUL SMELL COMING FROM THE VENTS AND EXAUST SMELL IN THE CABIN. THE VEHICLE HAS 14900 MI SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS ESPICALY COSTING WHAT IT DID
