The car has run rough since the day I drove it off the lot. At first I thought it was just a bad tank of gas from the dealership, but three tanks later, it seems to be getting worse. So, with the car less than a month old, I took it to the dealership's service department to see if they could identify a problem. I told them that they needed to drive the car around a little because that's when the problem was more noticeable. Almost 2 hours later, they tell me that they drove it around, my car seemed to run fine to them and that no error codes were being thrown by the car. What I didn't tell them is that i had reset my second trip odometer when dropping off the car to make sure that they did actually drive the car around to truly test the problem. After the mechanic claimed that he drove it around, I checked the odometer, which showed he drove it 0.3miles. So I left the service center with my rough-driving car and a deep feeling of regret for even buying the car. If you'd like to avoid seedy sales practices (that's a separate complaint) and lying mechanics, I'd advise you to stay away from Town North Nissa in Austin Texas.
