Purchase was good. Post support was terrible. Dealership did not disclose KNOWN issue with vehicle and has not offered an acceptable resolution. Communication has been Post support was terrible. Dealership did not disclose KNOWN issue with vehicle and has not offered an acceptable resolution. Communication has been bad/absent. Issue went up to General Manager without resolution.
