Consumer Description

OCT 2017 I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR MADE A GRINDING SOUND THAT DIDN'T STOP WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT USED. THEY CHARGED US FOR PARTS $2000.00 AND FIX IT . ABOUT 4 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THEY SAID THE PART WASN'T AVAILABLE. ITS NOW MARCH OF 2018 AND THE PART STILL ISNT AVAILABLE AND I AM PAYING ON A CAR I DON'T HAVE. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING RECALLED ?? I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THIS POSITION. I WAS ON A PUBLIC HWY.....TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP VIA LOCAL STREET....I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK THE OIL TYPE SUBSTANCE WAS POURING OUT...THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT IS THE SAME PART THEY FIXED ,THE PTU.
