    I purchased a brand new $51,618.00 ************************ cash. Right away the battery died and had to go back to the dealership for service. The car is now on its 4th battery. The *** has been called a Lemon and has an on going issue with the computer system in the car that is draining the battery. They thought it was because of the trunk and it sat in service for months waiting for parts from *****. After no success they thought it was faulty batteries. This *** has caused serious health risk to me. In July, after not having a car because the battery was repeatedly dying and they kept coming to jump it, I had to wait to schedule a tow truck, there were no loaners and I was hospitalized with severe stress and dehydration after being forced to use my bicycle for transportation in the hot summer heat. My ******* is now back in service again as I learned that the *** has transmission problems too. This should not be this way for $51,618 and a Brand New first owner ***. ******* Corporate, although they realize the car has ongoing issues, they have refused to give me a refund, a new *** without problems or a lifetime warranty to cover the cost to replace the battery once or twice a year and a new transmission. I am so disappointed that a company such as **** and ******* can take such advantage of a person that believed in them, in their brand and in their product. I want others to know that ******* Nautilus have computer and transmission problems and the company is fully aware and fully not willing to do the right thing or anything for that matter. Beware!

    I purchased a Vehicle for my Granddaughter in September of 2023 which was a 2000 **** Ecosport with ****** miles on it. Which I purchased from ********************* Chevrolet in *******, **. A couple of Months went by, and we started having issues with the Vehicle. So, we took it to the closest repair shop, and they advised us that it was the Flex Pipe to the Cadilliac converter that need to be repaired because it was rusted out. So, the Repair Shop advised me it would be $1956.00 to repair it. After talking to the repair shop, I was advised **** wouldn't cover this under the 8 year/80,000 miles ********** warranty because it was coming from the Flex Pipe and that we had to buy the whole muffler system because it doesn't come in pieces. I then was advised to contact **** and file a complaint. So, I contacted **** directly and was advised that there is nothing they could do for us. Then about 2 weeks later we had to replace another component that was covered. This 2020 **** Ecosport with ****** should never need a flex pipe it was practically Brand New. I would like forward to reimburse me the $2,000 that I have paid out because their Vehicle was Faulty.

    Quick recap of my situation:Year2018 Model**** EcoSport SE ColorBlack VinMAJ3P1TE9JC163886 Number Plate8EOK717 Engine1.0L Miles when purchased in ******k Miles now42k Incident: I was driving to ******** and got a notification on my dash that said ********** Pressure Low. I was worried so I found an oil change place close by and pulled off the freeway, but then I noticed the car wasnt accelerating, my foot was flat down on the accelerator and it was crawling along the road. So I pulled over to the side and that was it, it wouldnt go on again. All of the accessories still worked, but it absolutely wouldnt turn on. It was towed to a local repair shop.Resolution: I called **** on Monday October 9 and was told by the representative that because there hadn't been a recall and my car was past the 5 year manufacturer warranty period, even though it was well below the 60k miles, that there was nothing **** could do to help Car Repair: From here, Wawanesa, my insurance company, identified this as a manufacturer flaw and would not cover any repairs. Given this, I had to get quotes from multiple repair shops and pay 100% out of pocket. This is why the repair was not done with ****, the representative on October 9 made it clear that there would be no benefit to me given **** was no longer responsible after the manufacturer warranty expiration. This came at great personal stress, >$5k is not something I have as disposable funds and I was left without a vehicle, having to pay to briefly borrow a friends car, then use uber/rideshares to get to and from work and delivery services because I could not drive anywhere for daily errands. Costs here amounted to more than $1k.Service before Engine Failure: 3/25 **************************************** - work order attached. No faults found and oil changed etc.

    We received a recall notice dated April 2023 regarding our **** F250 truck. The notice states the parts are now available. We took our truck to the dealership on June 5 expecting to pick it up no later than June 9. The dealership did provide us with a loaner vehicle. This complaint is not against the dealership but against ****. When I called on June 8 about picking up our truck I was told the transmission has to be replaced and it is on back order until July 20 something. Now the part MIGHT start being shipped out around August 20 with 466 being on back order. I have contacted **** twice only to be given excuses and being told to contact the dealer. The dealer is doing what **** instructed so they are the middle man. I have asked to speak with someone in management at **** with no success. I contacted the National Highway ***************************** to report, they took the information and also gave me the number to the ************************* who took the information and suggested I contact BBB. **** needs to accommodate the customer with a vehicle comparable to the one that is being kept in the dealer shop due to **** not having the part necessary for the repair.

    There are multiple manufacturers involved and the dealership. Purchased a 2021 Holiday Rambler Invicta 32RW. in January of 2021. There was a gas leak on the stove that was never disclosed to me and we experienced this gas leak shortly after purchase. The stove was already recalled prior to even the make of the unit. The dealership noted that it was not their responsibility. I could not use my stove and the next model was recalled.Additional recalls on a new chassis designed by ***** And never received the notices. However found them through an inspection. We stopped driving the unit and had to book an appointment months in advance before the unit could even be received by ****. I have not had my unit since July ********************************************* ******. We live in colorado and had to rent an apartment since we could no live in the unit.. Purchased unit in *******.There are multiple manufacturer defects on the unit for the housing. Improper support of the slide outs, back up camera stopped working, water leaks and missing parts. The inverter misfired due to faulty wiring and also the battery fuse for the unit kept blowing due to poor wiring.We have been trying to address this and requested the unit be taken back and refunded. We have also filed lemon law which doesnt protect the consumer still with how it is written.We do not feel safe driving the unit due to the unknowns especially with all issues and recalls relating to being unable to safely operate the vehicle. This has now caused a financial burden because we have had to change and restructure our living conditions incurring additional costs.
