This complaint relates to the following recall: manufacturer recall number: wty84 nhtsa recall number: 18v772000 the dealer in colorado springs, co, heuberger motors, has failed to remedy this safety recall in a timely manner. i called on january 17th, 2019 to schedule the work but as of today, april 23, 2019, they have not done so. they claim that "it's just a slow process". i find this unacceptable for a safety recall.
Vehicle will not start after an extended period of attempts. appears to happen most often when vehicle is parked (either indoors or outside) for more than several hours. car will crank over for 10+ seconds and will not start. after multiple attempts, car has started eventually. have communicated with dealer and sia offices that i have noticed the car will make whirring noises that come from the back rh side of vehicle - and also a clicking noise near center of dash when turned off and sitting. this will go on for over 5 minutes at a time, which must drain battery since car is not turned on or engine running. was told by dealer that this is the emission system "purging" itself - and is considered normal for this vehicle. sia offices confirmed this and also stated that nothing is noted in the current owners manual which explains this feature. my concern is that the car is unable to start when required to - and am guessing that it might be related to this unusual feature... . regardless of origin, safety issue with car not starting and being ready to operate when normal starting procedures are followed. *tr
