Nothing but issues since having this vehicle.

Nothing but issues since having this vehicle. Despite keeping up with routine maintenance and treating this car far better than it has treated me, it has been a nightmare of repairs and cheaply made parts.

Code 52

I bought this car used a month ago. It had to go through a lot of prep work. Since then the Code 52 is a constant every time you start the engine. The mechanic said just hit the menu button it resets. Said not to worry about it. But I do. It’s just wrong as far as I’m concerned. Why have a code pop for no reason. Other than that I like the car a lot.
