| Description of the problem | Received a recall notice for my vehicle, stating that there is a major issue with the engine, and they are prone to catching fire - and that the vehicle should be parked outside. I contacted my dealership to ask for any other information, and was specifically told to bring my car in to their dealership (where i purchased the car brand new just a year prior). Upon arriving at the dealership, i was told that there was nothing that could be done, and i should drive my flammable, 2019 vehicle home. The vehicle has not exploded yet, but i'm cautious to drive it now, for fear of burning alive on my way to work any given morning. This dealership has caused me nothing but grief over the short time i've owned this vehicle, and the issues continue to stack up. |
