Well first off sorry to hear about your bad experiance. Second if use Mechanics gave free advice all the time we would be out of bussiness. There is such a thing as a Lemon LAW. I am sure your car would have been covered in that. I am willing to bet if you would have contacted them, the dealer, and Threatened to get a Laywer They probably would have done something about it. No matter the Maker all Car have problems Some a bigger problem than others. I have only owned GM cars , but I work on all Types, and find GM to be great. So don't let one bad thing ruin your thoughts on a good car company.
