| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dates are approximate. headlights: both lens's were fogged/yellowing later when i went to dealer in leesburg, va (pateros); service manage tried to clean.. made worse. then i realized that lens's were plastic! -- his cleaning solution melted that part of the lens. i believe that the headlights should last the duration of the car's life. --that i should get replacements as they are a safety feature. engine: a year and a half ago engine will emit black smoke when on treadmill for emissions inspection and smokes white when i sit for length of time idling. three valves needed to be replaced under warranty years ago -- i think the engine should not be doing this at this point and either the now defunct service dept did improper job or have a defective engine. i have followed regular schedule for oil changes. passenger seat: the springs have fallen apart completely, i thought perhaps one of my kids did it years ago but went to see about repair and was pointed out that the whole seat frame/springs is falling apart! |
