Consumer Description

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHICH RESULTED IN A FAULT WITH THE MECHANICAL RADIATOR FLAPS NOT OPENING OR CLOSING PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER HAS DELAYED A FIX FOR SIX WEEKS NOW WHILE THEY ARE FIXING OTHER MODELS THAT MAY HAVE HAD A HIGHER SALES PRICE. CHILDREN ARE PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING WITH A 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT ILLUMINATED IS DISCOMFORTING.
