| Description of the problem | I leased this car new in 2013, since 06/06/2013 this car has been back in shop for same problem 8 times, bubbles on the tires which cuts open the tire at the edge of the wheel. Last month the tire was changed again and while the car was in the shop it developed another bubble on another tire. Now mbusa is saying there is no defect on the car, i am saying wheels and tires come with the car and they are part of the car and that that this car is lemon or defective, i do not feel safe to travel in it. Mbusa dont want to admit it but all the service records are available at koons dealership in catonsville md. In my opinion a fatal accident can happen any time if this car is driven on the road. |
