What Owners Say

Other major engine problem

"This is an extension of the original problem that began, likely during assembly. California Vehicle was returned to the dealer under California lemon law. Dealer supposedly fixed the issue. I purchased the vehicleb with 3K miles and began having problems within 30 days of the purchase. It to approximately 4 different trips to the dealership over 6 months, Most of that time the vehicle remained with the dealership. Once it was finally fixed, haven't had a problem since. I'd buy the same vehicle again, but I wouldn't ever buy a vehicle that was returned under California lemon law."
