| Description of the problem | I've had consistent problems with my engine. Problems range from the check engine light coming on several times over the past 2 years, twice since 2017 started, 2). I've complained to the dealer about the abnormal amount of engine oil the car uses in less than 20,00 miles. 3). Engine will not start, even when there is no alternator or battery problem. 4). Car doors lock with key fob inside. 5) shaky steering wheel, that i've complained about since i owned the car. 4) seats are suppose to be leather, "leather" is cracking in the front around the base of the seat. (dealers says it's normal wear and tear. I've had leather seats before and none of them cracked). |
