dangerous car sold - Can someone help me?

Asked by Mom321 Nov 18, 2019 at 11:20 PM

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

On my way home from the dealership the night I purchased the car. I stopped
to fill up tires because the TPMS light was on. When I got back in the car the
SRS (AIRBAG) light was on. Then the gas tank light went on. The next day, day
three (today) The SERVICE ENGINE,SRS AND GAS CAP light went on. I
contacted the dealer (Sergio) and he said to bring it in 1.5 hour drive one way
WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND SRS LIGHT on. So tomorrow I will
bring it in for him to scan for a code and hopefully fix it! These SRS and Check
Engine Light are SERIOUS issues. If the airbag deployed someone could get
killed. How can anyone in good conscious sell such a dangerous vehicle. I am
a disabled veteran. I called a Mercedes Benz dealer and its $187 PER HOUR
to LOOK at the car NOT INCLUDING REPAIRS. $400 just to look! Was
advertised car came with navigation, called Mercedes Benz and they said this
car CAN NOT have navigation installed. Can anyone help me? I am afraid to
drive car.

Your local car parts store can scan for codes and it won't cost you anything.
