What owners wrote
The dealer knew about the defects to this vehicle and refused to fix them after receiving 3 separate estimates. 2 days after I repeatedly went back to the dealership to report these safety hazards the dealer continued to refuse to fix the problems and I had a car accident due to the defective vehicle. The dealer compliance board has a current case against the dealer and he has only agreed to take his vehicle back.
While driving vehicle stalled intermittently. Consumer pulled over, and had vehicle towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
