My wife drives a smart. When it works, she loves it.
Our car is a 2008 model, I think it's called a Passion. The car has barely 11K miles on it. Last week, our dealer, Smart Center Dallas, admitted that the stock battery that came with the car was inadequate. The car had a dead battery a year or so ago, could not be jumped, had to be towed and the battery was replaced under warranty.
The warranty is expired, but my wife bought a one year extended warranty.
The second battery failed last week. She was at work, When the tow truck arrived, after 7 PM, it was too big to fit in the parking deck. She had to have them try again the next day. To make a long story short, Smart Center Dallas did not have the updated battery in stock, but she picked up the car on Friday and took it home.
This morning she could not get the car out of Park. Third time for this problem. They just can't seem to fix it.
I'm sorry, but I've had enough of this. The car is fun to drive when it works, but I'll never ride in it again.
Are we the only ones? I doubt it.
