| Description of the problem | I reported to the dealer i bought the vehicle from the 2nd week i owned it that there was a wrench light on and it was flashing. They told me to come to the store and they would look at it,they discovered a solenoid had blown and they replaced it. They told me it was fixed but if it were to come back on that i should get back to them. The light would come on and off randomly,sometimes weekly,other times bi weekly and i called them each and every time. They sent me to a garage in biddeford that only replaced a spark plug and they called it good. I have been driving the van this way since june and despite the fact that the problem was brought to their attention,it now remains unresolved. I went to drive it 2 days ago,wrench light was on when i left,on the way home,the wrench light and engine light were on and it wouldn't shift. I couldn't go above 40 and prayed to make it home. I have no money for another car and would love to get a resolution to this soon. I am in a severe time crunch and can't afford not to have a car. |
