“In 2018 the air went out in the vehicle and then the ABS light cane on. A few days later the check engine light was displayed and then the next day the battery completely died. I took it to the shop and had it fixed. They said that battery was missing a cell and they replaced the battery, fixed the air conditioning basically fixed all issues. Fast forward to a year to the date the same issue started again in that order. The car has officially cut off and I searched and there are no open recalls coming up for my VIN number.”
NHTSA complaint #11270145, filed 2019-10, 81,000 miles“Tamara recall-the car only has 67000 miles on it, and for some reason it is using oil. There is exhaust fumes/smoke coming out of the tail pipe. There have been occasions where it has not started. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it brand new off of the showroom floor in 2014, and they did a diagnostic on it; and inform me that they can find nothing wrong. Why all of the sudden is the oil pressure down so low and my warranty will be up at 70000 miles. I asked the technician to examine the drivetrain and other components covered under the warranty; but they refused. …”
