dealer called.... asked questions about the last time fueled it and how long did i drive it before i noticed problem. no word yet on what the problem is and what caused it. i called the dealer and asked for a refund or exchange. i wasn't expecting to take it in to service the same day i got it. iam thinking it might be a lemon

If he bought it new it should have came with a full tank and it only has 38 miles now.

The porter might have not closed the cap properly. Don't freak, most issues show at the begining if there are any. Just find out what caused it.

i get the check engine light all the time. every time it has been a misfire. the most annoying thing is thee brightness of the yellow while driving at night. car runs fine, just a pain to get the ode cleared every time

The vertu will work fine, but you need to purchase the item that they are stating for $500. I bought it for the s550 and it works perfect.
