I bought a car 4/11/16. The sales person never disclosed any info on the vehicle. We took a short test drive maybe 10 mins. To be honest the sales person didn't tell us anything about the car. I saw it on a website and asked about it. She had a man in the service station drive it up. I do recall the passenger door would not open from the outside. I didn't think to mention it to the sales person.
When returning from the bank she mentioned it to me because she couldn't open it. Asked us to come back in 2 weeks and they would service our vehicle. It was roughly 6pm when we left and my boyfriend drove the new car 2.5 hrs home (I was too nervous to drive in Cincinnati). I went straight to work that night. The following morning I drive the car. I could not get the back doors to open properly nor lock/unlock. It had several service warnings.
Traction control, stabilization control, abs service, and another service warning. I called the sales person ASAP. I told her the vehicle has all kinds of servicing warnings. That I would like to know what they had serviced on the vehicle. Also before we bought it I asked how long they had it and got no answer. I told her I was going to take it to a garage and have them hook it up to computer. 2 days after buying I find out the front door and passenger door need new sensors, 1 seat belt in the back does not work at all, needs a new rear abs sensor. I bought new abs sensor, the garage installed and said that the wheel bering are bad, struts are bad. I bought 2 new bulbs for the headlight because they were out. Come to find out some kind of starter in the head light is bad. I need a new headlight now.
I do not believe purchasing a extra warranty was mentioned to me. In fact I am sure the guy said that after I purchase the vehicle they are not responsible for anything. It was a real quick process closing. We were alone most the time wondering where the sales person was.I have yet to get a return phone call after talking to her and leaving a message. I mean this is unbelievable! I bought this vehicle from this car dealer for $11,000. Nothing was disclosed about any problems with it. Yet 3 days after purchasing it, it has half a dozen issues. I too am a single mother of 6, I am devastated! This just seems very unprofessional.
Update 05/10/16
Returned vehicle to dealership on 04/22/16. I did receive a rental car free. A employee drive my vehicle back on 05/04/16. Dealership fixed all door sensors. I drove the car 05/07, and the back window would not roll up. After a few hrs I tried again and I finally went up. I called and spoke to a gentleman and he said he needed to speak to another man so he could be updated on the situation. He would call me 05-09-16. Meanwhile Sunday I went out to drive this car again, and instantly I notice that the headlight that doesn't work properly is full of moisture/rain.
I get upset of course and think to myself well, that's probably why it's not working correctly. I go to get into the driver's side door and when I open it, I lost it. The whole drivers side floorboard was full of water! Not just a little bit alot! It took a king size towel to soak up the water. My boyfriend trys to reinsure me that it will be ok. So he cleans it up and I drive a different vehicle. Monday came I got no call. 05/10/16 I decide to drive this vehicle to work. I go out open the door same thing, full of water. I stand there in the rain with the worst feeling in my stomach in tears. Then a gush of water shots down from under the dash by the computer thing and coversatile the floor.
05/11/16This will be one month since I bought this vehicle.I have had it 16 days out of the first month, Maybe drove it 7x. I started calling 24 hrs after I purchased it notifying the dealership about the problems with the vehicle that was NEVER disclosed. Regardless if it was as is this vehicle is a lemon. It has too many serious issues and they should have been fixed before being sold.I would appreciate if the dealership would make this right. I don't want to seak legal action.
