Example complaints

“During the california rains of 2005, my Camaro's t-top roof leaked so much that there was 1 1/2 of water in the bottom of the car. The dealer removed the interior and allowed it to dry, but the manufacturer refused to cover the repairs as a warranty even though the car was only 2 years old and I owned an extended warranty. I was given the run around for weeks by the customer service department before finally being told that they would not cover the repairs.”
