| Description of the problem | Addendum to 12/30/13 complaint: in addition to the previously outlined problems: 1. Car is now loosing oil. At 26,500 miles the low oil level light came on. Checked oil level and revealed car had lost approx 1. 5-2 qt since last regularly scheduled oil change. 2. Brakes squeal when you first compress the pedal. I had the brakes inspected and was told nothing was wrong with them or the brake pad. I do not think this is normal to occur every time you touch the brakes unless something is wrong. Brakes did not start making noise until 25,000 miles. **no confidence this car is trustworthy. Seriously worried about its reliability/ cost to repair after warranty expires.** |
