Consumer Description

The batteries that power my vehicle. The risk to me is spontaneous fire which could kill me and my passengers, burn my house down or cause me to have a car accident. The dealer identified the problem but does not have the parts to correct the problem and the dealer has no idea when they will be able to correct the problem. The only solution in the interim is to park the car away from everything and everyone and wait for the fire to initiate. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer. I want the dealer to reimburse me for the vehicle so that I don’t have to constantly live in fear and risk death.
