| Description of the problem | On october 19th 2015 , purchased this car form mercedes benz of walnut creek california . The car was delivered to me on 27th october 2015 by the dealership stating that the car is checked according to the safety standards and is good to drive. But as soon as i reached home with the car there was a check engine light . My house is 140miles from the dealer ship . I called them the very next day , they called me in the next week , kept the car for 4 days . Again when i took the car from them they say everything works fine . A week after that again i have a check engine light . I try calling them they just give me a runaround , even the front wind screen of the car is chipped majorly . I still can't figure how did my car pass the california inspection for used car . I need someone to help me . This is my first car . Thank you would appreciate .
