Consumer Description

TURNED MY CAR OFF AND WENT INTO THE STORE. CAME BACK OUT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER MADE A ESTIMATE BASED ON MY COMPLAINT OF $78.00. I WAS CONTACTED THE NEXT DAY WITH A $700.00 ESTIMATE. THE COMPUTER HAD TO BE UPDATED, THE IGNITION HAS TO BE RE-KEYED, AND THE FUEL INJECTOR HAS TO BE CLEANED. AND THAT IS JUST TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN! *AK
