| Honda Accord in Georgia, United States Sep 2017 - Mar 2018 | |||
| Jan 201853400 mi | After driving car for 60 days, it suddenly had no electricity throughout vehicle. Battery was checked as were fuses and all came back in good order. My mechanic eliminated the starter and alternator and doubted that it was the neutral safety switch. I went back to the dealer where I purchased the car (used lot) and they took TOTAL control of the situation. The salesman who sold me the car sent a tow truck and just took care of it as if it were his personal car. Toyota of Newnan's service is fantastic, but service after the sale is even better! The problem turned out to be the ground wire leading from the engine bay to the cabin had "gone bad" is what I was told and it was replaced at no charge. My car runs just as it should once again. Thanks Toyota of Newnan! | ||
