I just leased a 2007 Saturn Aura and it started overheating right away. 70 miles later, it is in the shop and they are replacing the thermostat. Will this cause long term problems? Can I get another car?
At about the 10 mile mark, the car started overheating. The fan stayed on for over 5 minutes after I shut the car off. The dealer admits the heating is not normal and is replacing the thermostat, but says the fan is normal. I am afraid this car is going to be nothing but trouble considering I have had it 3 days and it is in the shop. Also, I picked it up on a rainy night and the next day I noticed it was dirty: ceiling, seats (back and front), floor AND there were tools in the trunk!!
What recourse do I have. I want a different car but I am sure they won't want to give ot to me. Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
