| Description of the problem | I went to class on the date of 11/13/2015 and when i came out the vehicle would not start. After having the vehicle towed to the dealership, i was advised it would be $952. 56 for an electrical issue due to no fault of my own and can happen at anytime. So i inquired on how long this would be covered for? I was told its electrical and can happen at anytime, it's like a cellphone or a computer. Yet those have warranties against issues like that whereas something i paid thousands of dollars does not. I have seen many complaints about this online and don't understand why they have not recalled this and continue to rip consumers off. Some even advising this has happen to them on the road which could very well lead to a major accident , it it has not already. |
