I feel that is should have been a recall on my car. From the start was told the car checked out however had to get another starter, transmission case, blocks etc. I spent over 14k and still have problem with repairs that I thought was covered. Now AC blower gone after picking up from the dealer less than a month ago. Bad purchase now out of money and car still needs repair.
