Description of the problem | I have had my vehicle in for service 5 times for the same issue, it would not start. The first 3 times a sensor switch was replaced. The fourth time i was told my battery was the issue so i got a new battery. Today was the fifth time and the service dept indicated they could not find anything wrong but they went ahead and replaced the sensor switch again. I am not happy, i feel that i cannot depend on my vehicle. I am planning an out of town trip for thanksgiving and have resorted to renting a vehicle because i am paranoid about being stranded on the road with this issue. I paid alot of money for this vehicle and this just is not right. I am considering trading it in for a vehicle that starts the traditional way (with a key). |
