Consumer Description

ENGIN STOPPED IN THE HIGHWAY DIDN'T START AFTER THAT. ALL THE SERVICES DONE IN THE DEALERSHIP. NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT ENGINE FROZEN. DEALER TRIED TO START CRANK MANUALLY BUT DIDN'T TURN. I WENT THROUGH THE DEALER FOR NESSASORY HELP BUT FAILED. STILL THE CAR SITTING IN GARAGE IN MY HOUSE SINCE THAT. I GOT ALL THE PROOFS OF THE SERVICES AND THE BLACK AND WITE PRINT OUTS OF THE DEFECTS WHICH MENTIONED. DEALER DIDN'T HELP ME AND I AM STILL TRYING TO FIND A LAWYER TO GO AGAINST THE COMPANY FOR THE REFUSAL FOR FIXING MY VEHICLE.
