Description of the problem | I purchased my vehicle oct 31,2017 and with in the first two months the check engine light came on at 1,400 miles. I took my vehicle into the dealership it was purchased from immediately and was told nothing was mechanically wrong and it was okay to continue driving with the light on. It eventually went out on its own just to come back on a month later, i again took it to the dealership this time to be told i needed a new vacuum brake booster pipe. After the part was replaced the dealership then told me i needed to have the brake booster pressure sensor replaced. Three days after the sensor was replaced the check engine light was back on at this point the dealership had no more answers and was reporting my issue to gm and having one of their technicians look at my vehicle. I brought my vehicle back in for a fourth time because the light continues to turn off and on intermittently and due to my knowledge of the lemon laws on a brand new vehicle gm is now interested in purchasing my vehicle back and to this day the transaction hasn't happened because i feel as though i am being penalized for their error. The light still goes off and on and i've now had the vehicle for seven months and there still isn't an answer as to why. |
