| Description of the problem | Went into work and came back out to my car not starting. Battery just recently replaced within the past 6 months. Had the battery charged and tried to do a jump and still nothing. Had to get my car towed to the auto shop only to find out i have a failed eis, meaning my electronically ignition system has failed and its going to cost me 1000 to fix. My car is out of warranty but i find this a major inconvenience. This is supposed to be a reliable car the reason i chose to get this car and something like the ignition has failed. I wish there was something that mbusa could do to pay for a majority of the issue or even do a reimbursement. This can be a safety issue as well, i always think what if i was out of town or what if i had a emergency and because of this glitch i simply have no car and now i'm dependent on a ride until i can get this fixed! |
