I was driving down the highway leaving the barbershop and my car wouldnt go over more than like 55 mph and I got a flashing green symbol beside my check engine light which had just came on when the AUTO (Stop/Start) light did. once I got home turned it off and turned it back on the for a second the light doesn’t come on but once you drive it maybe a quarter of a mile or less it come back on and the car wont function properly again
I was in my car waiting my for complex security gate to open when I heard a loud noise. I got out of my car to see what it was and turns out my sunroof exploded. For no reason. No rock or item hit my car nor was the car in motion. It was also not from the heat as it was 60 degrees outside. I called my warranty and they refuse to cover it because it is glass. I am reading many others with this same issue. How does a 6 year old car have the sunroof explode??
I went to Evo Motors to find a car and found a car filled out an application and had to return to the next day because they were closing There was already talk about a down payment but no credit transaction was happening yet. I didn’t even have an offer on the credit yet so I came back the following day and on the way there I got a phone call that the bank was requesting a down payment in the amount of $4500. The salesperson was requesting cash downpayment and I thought that was strange since that was a lot of cash to have on hand. Me and girlfriend had a decent score to acquire the car but the dealer insisted on the cash downpayment and told us the bank was requested the down payment in order to get the car. I was very uncomfortable but I needed the car as I had lost my previous car in an accident and I needed to get to work and was in a rental car. I demand my down payment back in the amount of $4500 plus interest and keep the car as the transaction was unconscionable. They took advantage of my position in the basic necessities and livelihood as I needed to keep working to survive. The added burden was that I had to call friends and family all day long to come up with a downpayment I didn’t have and I had to pay everyone back in a short time. I was so stressed that I got sick and have still not recovered from the transaction that took place that has led to the moment where it was not fair to extort funds I did not have to further benefit them even after had already enriched themselves with the sale of a vehicle that had a very high-interest rate for our credit profile. It’s obvious they had complete control over every aspect of this contract.
FAULTY "DISPLAY CONTROL UNITS" CAUSE BLUETOOTH SYSTEM TO BEHAVE ERRATICALLY, PLAY / PAUSE MUSIC OR SOUNDS, OVERRIDE USER CONTROLS, AND CAUSE SEVERE DISTRACTIONS WHILE DRIVING BY HAVING TO MANUALLY TURN OFF BLUETOOTH FROM PHONE. FAULTY DCU WILL OVERRIDE USER CONTROLS IN OTHER ASPECTS AS WELL. DCU WILL CAUSE REVERSE CAMERA TO DISPLAY NO IMAGE / SKEWED IMAGE / INTERFERENCE. CAMERA HAS STAYED ON THE SCREEN WHILE MOVING FORWARD IN DRIVE. HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN THESE CARS SINCE 2014, SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, REVERSE CAMERA IS MAINLY AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT THE ISSUES WITH THE BLUETOOTH CAN HAPPEN AT ALL SPEEDS. IT'S MOST INCONVENIENT FOR ME WHEN COMMUTING ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE ONCE I DISCONNECT THE PHONE FROM THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RE-PAIR WITH THE PHONE MEANING I CANNOT USE BLUETOOTH THE REST OF THE DRIVE (UNLESS I STOP).
