| Description of the problem | My vehicle has been an issue since i purchased it. I have taken it in five times for the same issue with the sunroof leaking and damaging the interior of the vehicle. I have also taken it in for replacement of cv joints twice and as of yesterday for the third time with no resolution. When i dropped off my vehicle it was fine with no lights, no oil change light on or anything, but they called to let me know i had sludge in my engine and it is going to lock up on me. My bumper to bumper warranty will not cover it so i will need to pay out of pocket to fix the issue on a brand new car . I have also had to change my tires on the car at least eight times in the last 3 years. I purchased a warranty for tires and rims, but as usual they have loop holes. They promised i can change my rims if i had any scratches, but when i tried to change them, they have denied my request for three years. It is frustrating to know that what they promise is a lie. |
