Description of the problem | Bought my vehicle 12/21/2017. Have had nothing but problems ever since. Took my car to [xxx] in austin where it was purchased several different times. I was always told there was nothing wrong with it. In november 2019 my car broke down and i paid to have it towed to the dealership in sa since that is where i was relocated to for work. Blamed it on my oil which i was never notified by my vehicle it was even low. Engine has not been acting right since. 5/21/2020 i went on a trip but only made it to waco. Vehicle shut off going 70 mph on the freeway and i almost got hit by several different vehicles because of it. 5/26/2020 dealership called me to let me know i was getting a new engine since mine was compromised by the oil it was consuming. Now i am being told that i have to drive it and test it before they will replace it. Have done an intensive amount of research and this is a huge liability to put my life in danger for a test they need for the company. Called the location i purchased it at and surprise they will not take care of it. Nothing but problems with this vehicle since i purchased it and they have never done anything to make it right.*dt*jb information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
