Consumer Description

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD IT SERVICED. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ON THE WAY TO STORE AND WE LOST POWER OF CAR, STEERING LOCKED. WE WERE ABLE TO BARELY GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. CAR COMPLETELY DIED AND A HUGE POOL OF OIL CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. PAID OVER $6,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE AND WIRING AND OTHER PARTS BECAUSE OF THE OIL, BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOT A RECALL. GUESS WHAT... DRINKING OIL, OIL LEAK, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. THIS WAS A NEW ENGINE. SPENT A BUNCH OF MONEY ON CAR IN 2014 HAVE HAD MAJOR TROUBLE WITH IT!!! WE ARE NOT MADE OF MONEY, BUT THIS 2013 IS THE WORST CAR AND DANGEROUS TOO, DESPITE WHAT THEY SAY!!!!
