| Description of the problem | Engine seized and i had it replaced at a cost of$3,620. 04. As per the agreement they made regarding the engine failing due to metal objects being in the engine that was their fault, they would reimburse owners for this cost. I have been waiting over 6 months and when i called, they stalled by requesting me to prove i owned the vehicle by submitting my registration or insurance for the vehicle. I traded in the vehicle last fall and do not have the items anymore . My name is on the bill i paid for the engine replacement, this is just another way they can try to not pay even they agreed to pay. The engine failed at the savannah airport. |
