These are the types of things that people should be sued for. It is crazed to take a car in and not even have the work performed and they still pass you a heft bill. I know nothing about cars. I've got to find someone in Tampa to work on this 2009 t…

$700 is absurd. They are trying to milk you. I'd contact corporate and tell them. That is absolutely absurd. It is a louzy oil change.

Myother issue was that I had a GPS and it screwed up the electrical system when plugged in. Took it off and the light went off. It was an inexpensive Chinese made GPS. But in the final analysis is shouldn't have made the light come on. That was my 2…

Engine Light ON
Anyone have experience with their SmartCar's engine coming on and off at a whim. I've had mine into the dealership twice and nobody is able to repair it. Now Im waiting for a reply from the "Chief Honcho of Service in the Sky" and should have a reply by Wednesday. I know abut the gas tank lid being tight. I know of one other person in town (Tampa) that is having difficulty. I shelled out a good amount of money for a caged in go-cart (which I really do enjoy) but I find the service lacking ...… Continue
