Grammar
Consider revising some sentences for grammar issues, such as 'It seems there is something wrong with the engine or eletricity system.' It could be more clear if you say 'It seems there is an issue with the engine or electrical system.' More proofreading for minor grammatical issues can improve clarity.
Tone
While the overall tone is polite and clear, refining the language to sound more formal and polished may help. For instance, avoid using phrases like 'with no reason,' and instead say 'without any apparent cause.'
Task Response
The letter addresses all parts of the task effectively, clearly explaining the problem, how it has affected you, and what you want the store to do.
Coherence and Cohesion
The structure of the letter is logical, with a clear opening, explanation of the issue, its impact, and a concluding request for action.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your greeting and closing are polite and appropriate for a formal letter.
