Outlander

  • 64,000 miles
Harpswell auto illegally sold me a vehicle with 5 safely recalls on the vehicle before I bought the vehicle. Safety recall codes are C1611Z, C1614Z, C1801R, C1806Z, C2003R. I bought the vehicle 4/25/2020 and 2 recalls were due in 2016 and 3 were due in 2019. Where these are very big safety recalls I think harpswell auto needs to have their license revoke for service and inspection stickers because my vehicle should never have passed inspection with the crossmember recall completely rotted out.
