Do I have any rights?
I purchased a 2008 Suzuki swift last august 2014. I have recently noticed problems with it. The main problem is the gears not working properly. When I select 1st gear it goes into 3rd gear instead. What I am wondering is do I have any rights to get the garage to repair it or is it completely up to be to bear the cost?
