Error messages included "Service Stability Track", "Service Battery Charging Systems," "Service Stability Track," "Service Power Steering Systems," and another one advising to roll down the drivers side window and roll it back up. This was also combined with the MyLink system resetting while driving, poor idle, poor / delayed acceleration, and flickering of the headlights. The dealer did do a diagnostics, and found a mouse nest in the air filter (much larger than would have occurred in a couple months even if the car had been sitting), a clear sign that a good inspection was not done on the vehicle prior to sale. Furthermore the diagnostics resulted in them assuring it's a bad alternator which they want $400+ to repair (alternator rebuild 100$ new alternator from Advanced Auto Parts about $170 with 25% off coupon code) nearly 300$ in labor for a fairly quick repair. After speaking with an alternator and starter specialist, I have been informed dealer had to have sold it with a bad alternator (Thank You Gavin at Start Specialists). The vehicle was looked at and the hose from fill bottle to housing was glued in, and the housing was broke (resulting in the overheating). The vehicle died on the interstate at 80 MPH, this is clearly an unsafe vehicle and the dealer refuses to take any accountability. I cannot recommend them for your used car purchase, and highly advise you stay away without the vehicle being inspected by an outside party. More
