If 75,300 vehicles are affected and even a small percentage have this issue, we’re talking about thousands of owners dealing with this problem. That’s actually significant when you break down the numbers. I’m glad regulators are investigating.
I’m really interested in the full details of this case. How did the misidentification happen in the first place? Was the officer confused about who was in the driver’s seat?
I’ve seen a couple of IQ projects online and they’re either amazing or total money pits with nothing in between. Sounds like yours is leaning toward the latter given the rust situation. Get a full inspection before you decide.
