Description of the problem | Vehicle would not start one day, the start the next. Then it wouldn't start at all. Had heater problem before, but when they checked it , it was fine. Then when it wouldn't start at all, had it towed. The garage i had it towed to had been the one to check the heater a couple of weeks prior to it breaking down, they had given it an oil change also. After the tow, they informed me that anti-freeze had been getting into the intake oil(head gaskets),and they would have to take it all apart(labor!!!)---and that the fuel pump was bad. I've only had the vehicle for a little over a year!!! Thank god i had a warranty extended,(even though i am paying a lot for that also!!)that i only(!) had to pay the 100. 00 deductible, but then had to pay for filters,oil(again!!) and miscellaneous other expenses the warranty didn't pay!! Altogether, with what the warranty paid, and what i paid (341. 00)---it came to 2,200. 00!!!---now this car is only 4 years old,barely!!! And i think that this is ridiculous!!! *jb |
