| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased this vehicle 5 weeks ago. i have already made 2 payments on it. in those 5 weeks, i was able to drive my vehicle in satisfactory condition for about a week. while driving the vehicle in the second week, i experienced power failure and i called the dealership. i was told that i probably had "bad gas" and that if it did not conitinue to lose power, i would be all right. the problems shortly ended after about 10 miles, so i continued. that same week, i got an alert from the car's computer that told me to contact the dealership immediately. i did so and the dealership picked up the vehicle. it was returned after 3 days and i was told the only problem was that the gas cap was not put on tightly enough. the first of the next week, i was on my way out of town, and experienced the same loss of power. i drove it immediately to the dealership and after waiting an hour, was told it would take about 2 hours to fix the problem- a vaccum leak. when i did not receive the car back 2 business days later (after multiple calls to the dealership), i was told the engine had a noise and they did not know how to fix it. now i am being told they are bringing in a specialist and hope to have it back to me in a few days-"it will take several more days, but we think it can be fixed." they have now had my vehicle for a week and half for this last problem- and do not forsee getting it back this week. i do not think that a $53,000 brand new vehicle should be experiencing these kinds of mechanical problems. |
