I feel with all that has been written about this problem on this car, it would have been better to hear that at least they knew it existed. This is a huge dealership. the Vin #s on both these cars start with 709XXX and one was made August 22nd according to the salesman.
Although this would be a second car for me, i still decided not to chance it right now. Do you think I've been too hasty in saying no to the sale ? thanks....Charles

The next time some mouth-breathing moron says to you: "do you believe everything you read on the internet?"...ask this imbecile if he's ever actually used the internet.
Ask him if he knows the difference between random postings about Obamas birth certificate versus thousands of owners on a website dedicated entirely to one single vehicle and sharing their experiences with it(good and bad). If he can't tell the difference, then he's a complete idiot.
