Just as I left the dealership the day I got the car, there has been a warning light flashing (!) Like your hand break light.
It also needed a service on 135 000km so as I left the dealership on my way home (120km from where I bought it) it started flashing service required.
I took the car in to a local guy and he said the cambelt needed to be changed at 120 000km's and its not mentioned in the full service history that it has been replaced.
When I took the car back to the dealer's mechanic to do the service, he serviced the car but said the cambelt is fairly new so it's probably been replaced. I'm a bit hesitant to believe them now cause i'm so scared of being scammed by a second hand car dealer here.
The flashing light needed to be taken to an auto electrician which I did, and it turns out, it's the ABS Contoller arm that needs to be replaced.
This car is still under amonth guarentee and i'm in two minds on whether I should get them to fix the car or just cut my losses and get my money back.
Also i'd like to know whether driving for a long time without the ABS Controller may have caused other problems for the car in the long run?
What is your honest take on this?
