this car cost $8K after only 15K miles - dwjones1981
This car was purchased with only 1K milles and after 14K more miles, the oil plug fell out and the engine seized causing $8K worth of damage. Mind you I had an oil change 5 months previously and it does not take 5 months for a plug to fall out. Furthermore, the dealer refused to contact the warranty company despite my request so I had to contact them and open a case. Even after this, the warranty representatives stated that the dealer informed them that this wasn't covered and that the oil plug issue is not their. the warranty place was not told of the time lapse between services nor did they know that the research my point that the car did not notify me of any issue until the very second that the engine seized causing thousands of dollars of damage to my car without any negligence on my part. The failure of the plug after 5 months of working without a problem and the car's failure to notify me of a catastrophic engine emergency is the fault of the car and it is buick's responsibility to remedy this; but they refuse to do so. My holiday was ruined, gifts returned, and the car dealer still refused to assist me or call me to give me any updates. 14 days without a car and no call to advise the status or when it will be done. And again, the dealer and warranty people refused to help me regardless of the fault of their products. The lack of proper services will prompt me to see legal action and I will report this lack of any communication to the BBB.
