A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Purchased car July 2018. A/C leak in Aug 2018 and March 2019; dealer locate leak. Front tire blowout within 6 months of purchase (Dec 2018) traveling on freeway evening time approx 65 mph; unknown reason. Same side front tire blow out 4 months later (March 2019) driving late evening on a main boulevard traveling 25 mph and right front tire shredded; hit minor pothole both front tires had to be replaced and the car alignment corrected. 1 month later (April 2019) right rear tire loosing psi every 45 miles; dealer could not detect leak, possible valve stem. Same visit dealer replaced two rear leaking shock absorbers and noted right rear tire had uneven wear /recommend replacement; tires have 21,000 miles. I will have to return the car to the dealer for repair. The transmission has a very hard shift when I accelerate more than moderate; the hard shift causes the vehicle to pause and jar /jerk abruptly that almost seems like you hit something. I had reported the issue within 7 days of purchase and I was told amgs have hard shifts. When I insisted there was an issue a second time in March 2019; the issue was addressed and I was told it was the computer software that required an update; the update temporarily corrected the problem for approx 1 month. The vehicle has been out of service for approximately 13 days since purchased 9 months ago in July 2018.
