And field a complaint and got no where a guy showed up and read the report he claimed he was from corp. And then we took it out and he started to talk to me and asked i answer at 30 miles and up , and he said again its the wind and in summer with the windows down it will go away. So i hit my button opened all windows and it was even louder and then he said that the 208 and 209 due this and its the wind i said this is a 211 not a 208 or 209 and that's when he said get it back to the dealers auto fair and he said his final decision was finial i said no way i also told him i heard two other in waiting area that they had same problem and when the mechanic said and replace the rear axle on 2 vech. Then he was fired for doing this. The guy from corp.?? Just walked away and the waiting lobby was full and he had no further comment and said his decision was final .... Also when i bought this vech. I be leave it was sold to me under false pretenses because it had 2 wrong sets of tires on it as well. |
