Description of the problem | The engine blew after a few days when warrenty expired after a dealer sent the car home saying unless we could prove or show a maintenance history of the car they would not do warrenty work. The car was bought used so we could not provide a long repair or maintenace record of the car. However we bought a extenended warranty that was not entered correctly in the system and the car was still sent cleared as being ok to drive even though the engine blew within a few days of dealer service in offallon il. Every sorrento other than this year has been recalled for engine problems so why not ours. |
