First car i looked at smelt like an ashtray, burn holes in the seat that was filled with appoxy. So i bought the different cruze. I complained about front wheel bearing noise. (Which i was told was fine) Also noticed oil leaking oil from camshaft actuators which they patched with silicone, intake manifold leaking oil because valve is missing. (Which I bought the intake because its not part of their warranty).
I havent even had my car for 2 weeks and its been in the shop the majority of this time. Not even deiving for 24hrs had no boost code and a severe oil leak. Was told oil leak was fixed when I picked up and vehicle has alot of boost and good to go.
When i picked it up vehicle had zero boost and had no power. Next morning when to start it up and still had no boost. And check engine light on. Looked under hood and no parts replaced (oil cooler) that was leaking. Obviously i am going to look. The turbo has to be removed to fix. Which was never removed to fix oil leak.
Can still smell coolant and also oil burning. So im paying on a vehicle thats been still sitting on their lot.
So far the only person that has been good is Karri with sales. Even though car is sold for $10k and monitored by gps.
