I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND BEFORE DELIVERY THE DEALERSHIP FOUND OIL LEAKS THAT THEY DEEMED A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY FIXED AT NO CHARGE. ABOUT A FEW DAYS AFTER DELIVERY, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS STILL A LEAK AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DEEMED THIS TO NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND REFUSED TO FIX IT AT NO CHARGE. IS IT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OR MINE?
